can someone please recommend a drama where the leads are childhood bestfriends/friends and the male lead starts liking her first but the female lead either doesn't realize because she is oblivious or the male lead doesn't show his feelings all that well cause he is so used to suppressing them in case their friendship gets jeopardized , one such drama that i have watched is reply 1997. 

not all of these conditions need to be met specifically but a in general if the drama has something along the lines , i would really appreciate it.

  • In Time With You (it has many different adaptations from Korea, Japan, china and Thailand but the original Taiwanese drama is the best)
  • Lovely Us - has the same reply series vibe
  • Pinocchio
  • One More Happy ending
  • Because its the the First Time
  • Maybe: 
    • operation daisakusen- this also has a few remakes (korea, china) but i liked the original japanese one
    • Romance if a bonus book - this started great but was a let down at the end
    • abyss - dropped thos drama very early on
    • Twenty Again
  • Movies
    • Love forecast
    • Friendzoned

thank you so much for your reply , i have seen almost all the dramas and movies you mentioned except lovely us , so i am going to give it a try

i dropped pinocchio (shocking , i know ) but i was getting a vibe that ml suffers a lot and i just wasnt ready to see lee jung suk suffer so much...... should i give it another try?

i absolutely loved in time with you and all its adaptations .

i dint like operation daisakusen though , i found it to be a little boring.... should i try any of its other addaptations?

In pinocchio, LJS does suffer a lot. Wayyyy more than any character in the drama, but the narrative quite good and the ending was satisfactory.

If you didnt like operation daisasuken, i doubt you will like the other adaptation. Personally the japanese one was my fave. 


Definitely try Lovely Us. Just recently wat hed it and i adore it so much. 

Anyway additional dramas i thought of but not as near a description as you specified as above recommended: 

  • Hello Again
  • When You Love Yourself/chubby Love
  • 20th century girl and boy
  • Longing for spring / drawing, spring - webspecial
  • A day before us - webtoon series 
  • My dear Lady - secondary couple
  • You are the best lee soonshin - secondary couple
  • Heaven and Earth / high as the sky wide as the earth - very looong drama

The best of you in my mind 

You drive me crazy

kiss scene in Yeonnamdong/Who kissed me

These both are really good short series but not exact to your specifications. I hope you enjoy these :)

Romance is a bonus book. Childhood friends 

A trope. that I really like.
