Whereas Individual Circumstances contains the trifecta of reunited friends from the past, a jealous third wheel looking to impede any and all latent feelings between the former friends, and complex emotions resurfacing in a tech-/média-verse setting; Our Dating Sim completely foregoes the jealous third wheel and both shows present a lead couple where the one seeks to reignite past emotions and the other dismisses all attempts to face those same emotions.

career/technical skills focused circumstances
misunderstandings between the mains
persistence while trying to be respectful of boundaries (but could still be excessive)
personal growth

This drama also includes a writing as an occupation of the main character. And It's the reason all the story line is developing.
Plus it also has a relationship from the past, which reasons the behavior of the characters in present.

I recommend this both drama because , Male lead and Female lead
try to solve problem
In one drama explosion and another student murder/suicide

While at first glance these two might not seem to have much in common, the choppiness of the storytelling reminded me a bit of The Tasty Florida. There's also the similar not quite enemies-to-lovers but close enough vibe.

The leads meet again in a work-related setting after years of separation. Childhood and young adulthood connection develops and the sparks are back.

Follows the highs and lows of careers in the literary/entertainment world and overcoming difficulties to achieve good outcomes.
