Stills from "Friendship Above".
In the 2011 hit Taiwanese TV series "I May Not Love You", the relationship of "friendship above" was discussed through the "eternal good friends" of Li Daren and Cheng Youqing, and "Friendship Above" has many similarities with "I May Not Love You" in terms of character and plot. For example, the male and female protagonists are both classmates in their youth, the male protagonist is also a flight attendant, and the male protagonist is constantly frustrated because his relationship with the female protagonist is too close. The difference is that "I May Not Love You" can delve into topics such as "growth", "early old age" and "family relationship" due to the relationship of the series, while the Thai film "Friendship Above" is still a romantic comedy in essence, and the jokes are more relaxed, and there is no plot in which too many male and female protagonists torture each other in Taiwanese dramas.
