Flashback story

Heart-warming

I honestly don't know why this show wasn't on the recommended list earlier
-note (WMLB- When my love blooms) has different actors playing the same characters for the past and present parts, which ngl threw me off a lot. I connected with the young actors more and couldn't connect them to the older actors.
-it was the past, the younger actors parts that connected with snowdrop a lot more so that's what i'm going to talk about below
-Both shows are set in the past 1980-90s, there's a lot of activism and protests going on in both shows
-From the beginning, in both the FL's falls for the ML's and try pursuing them, but the ML's aren't as interested
-In both dramas, the FL's come from well off families and the families are against their love -so they have this kinda unrequited love
- the cinematology is very soft and they have similar ambiences
-In both, the FL's are very soft, kind and generous, where the ML's are kind inside, withouting showing it on the surface
-also very funny side note, the FL characters name in (WMLB) is Jisoo

Both dramas have divorce struggles and children that are suffering in this situation, both female characters have difficult relationships with their parents.

they in love in their young age and meet again when they older. but Shark a bit intense than When My Love Blooms

Both are melodramas that involve first love separated and reunited. Bonus - Park Jin Young is the younger version of the male lead in both dramas!

Both start in the past and then flash forward to the future and leave somewhat of a mystery of what happens to the leads. Both have kids in the future. Both talk about important events (political and social) during the time and the ML is older than the FL in both. OST is amazing and overall I think WMLB is a really underrated drama which deserves it's place among others.




Oh...
And a better ending ://

The tempo, the love story and the dynamic is the similar. Love that comes back again in some way. They reminded me a lot of each other.

Both stories deal with past trauma that continues to affect the main characters in their present stories.

Where with 'When My Love Blooms' it is about the choices people make and how those choices effect others, 'Just Between Lovers' deals with the unexpected, and how we move on from disaster, pain, and suffering.

Both dramas are slow, but they both offer a glimpse into how people deal with pain. Each episode is well thought out, and soul deep.

-WMLB feels like a more mature version of My Sunshine. With more adult problems like children,angry exes and complicated life issues.
-similar aspects of college lovers where the FL chases the ML.
-law student in love with a girl that studies something else.
-family secrets that lead to separation of the lovers.

In both dramas, the lead characters are married to someone else. But only they know the path to each other's hearts.
In both dramas, the leads meet because of their kids,
Both are melodramas,
About the couples around the age of 40,
Have Beautiful scenery & Good music to accompany.

Similar vibes, slow and "sad". Also the same "accident". In "chocolate" characters were not a couple before as in "when my love blooms" but there are also time gaps. Both are melodrama. Both have flashbacks.

The story follow same as When My Love Bloom, as both series has past lovers, fell apart by family problem, and married when they became adult. Both has children and living in misery. Both series FL father dies in construction accident, and ML in both series went onto have a successful life, but FL goes into misery.

I would not say that this exactly is a match, but the idea of nostalgia and remembering the past is a huge element in both of these. Also, its about the remembrance and nostalgia of a relationship, which these two shows both tackle.

both show the past and present life of the protagonists. In the first episode of undercover, the protagonist participates in a protest; the same thing that happens for the protagonists of "when my love blossoms" in the past.
