I Need Romance 3 (2014)

Working in tv shop, Dating with younger man, friendships and many similarities ...

It has a love story with an older female lead and an younger male lead wo know each other since they were children. They have an sibling like friendship and too live together. This drama also has an love triangle and a slowly developing side love story.

Same scriptwriter (she has typical own "handwriting") and you will find Sung Joon in both shows. DoR can be INR4.

1. strong woman
2. younger man
3. noona romance
4. teleshipping, vendor themes
I suppose, QoR was source of inspiration for INR3.

Although different cast and stories are unrelated the dramas have a similar vibe.

they both are about 3 woman and their love stories and including one noona love the coonsept is also the same and you get the same fells

Similar themes of older woman/younger man, and in both the FL is struggling to get over a past/prior love.

Similar plot ML is grown up with FL by freeloading at her house and later grown up with feelings toward her.

In both dramas the ML is younger than the FL. The FL at first sees him only as a boy and doesn't consider him as a possible male partner because of the age. The ML falls in love with her first and tries to make her love him back and see him as an adult.

These 2 dramas has beautiful filmography. The vibes is like a warm winter (I know it sounds weird but if u watch it, u might understand what i meant TT TT)

On top of that, these 2 dramas mentioned about falling in love with their childhood best friends that is so close to siblings.

Both are noona romances. Where older women date younger men and realize they can find love in unexpected places. There are also 2 male leads who seem suitable for our heroine.
There are also other stories surrounding the main couple. The storylines of a few of the secondary characters are also similar.

There was nothing about fantasy in INR3 but those two, somehow, gave me the same feeling !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

- Cold older female lead who is focused on her work and career and doesn’t believe in love or marriage.

- Warm younger male lead who still believes in love and marriage

The female lead has a similarly cold and distant personality before meeting the male lead, who helps her open up and overcome her fears in relationships.

Kinda give same vibe as show is about noona dongsaeng love story..
