Meus Caros Amigos (2016)

"Dear My Friends" é um dorama sul-coreano que foca nas vidas de um grupo de amigas idosas que, apesar de já terem passado dos seus anos dourados, continuam a viver com vigor e enfrentam suas próprias batalhas e histórias. A série aborda temas profundos como amizade, amor, envelhecimento, e as dificuldades que surgem com o tempo, especialmente para as mulheres em uma sociedade que muitas vezes as marginaliza conforme envelhecem.

Assim como "Women's House", "Dear My Friends" é uma narrativa cheia de emoção, que oferece uma visão íntima das vidas e experiências das mulheres, com personagens complexas e histórias envolventes. A série tem uma abordagem realista e sincera sobre os desafios e as alegrias de ser mulher, destacando a importância da amizade e da resiliência.

"Dear My Friends" é uma excelente opção para quem aprecia dramas emocionantes com uma profundidade social e cultural, oferecendo uma combinação de sensibilidade e reflexão sobre a condição feminina em diferentes fases da vida.

Both of this kdrama are of Family genre. Though Dear My Friends is more focused on friendship, while My Unfamiliar Family is more focused family. But they have similar vibes and you wil obviously enjoy the same.

Hope it helps!

Delicate, debates ageism, motivational, kind of realistic, slice of life and treats seniors as protagonists and real people

family-centered
misunderstandings
slice of life and healing drama
young protagonist
strong female leads

Young Vs old , etc and a lot of similar things.
Personally, I prefer Dear My Friends but the other is also really good

If you love Dear My Friends so bad and you're craving for another movie with girls friendship theme? So 'Sunny' is the perfect movie for you. I'll guarantee the movie is worth to try! Go watch it now!

Well written warm and sincere story.
Well-written characters.
Slice of life.
Longtime friendship.
Eating together.

Totally, these two have the same vibe. Combination of friendships, family, slice of life, and the right amount of romance put together. Youth vs Elderly. If you love Dear My Friends, you definitely can't miss Reply88, ever.

They both involve friendships and family and have multiple leads. They also have the same writer and are of the life and melodrama genre.

-Both dramas tell heartwarming stories about the elderly.
-Both are relatively easy, lighthearted watches with substance that will make you think about the important things in life.
-Also Kim Hye Ja is wonderful in both of them.

I am not really sure why, honestly. They are two different dynamics but both equal to me. I think you all might think the same. :-)

Both dramas feature scenes shot in European cities.
their character development is well written.
The problems of old people are included.
Problems regarding human relations are well addressed.

If you enjoyed the slice of life feel that Age of Youth offered then Dear My Friends is a perfect follow up for it. I would say the obvious difference would be their age, otherwise both dramas have a strong emphasis on friendship and sisterhood, coming of age for the younger set and coming to terms with their age for the older women. Their stories and their feelings are so relatable.

Both are slice-of-life dramas.
Both are family-centred.
Both are slow-burn stories.
Both have little but good romance.
