Set in a 1970s workplace, this drama builds its world from period atmosphere and the specific pressures of being young and figuring yourself out on the job. Music runs through the story not as backdrop but as something that shapes how characters understand themselves and each other.
Youth identity and workplace dynamics pull against each other in ways that feel personal rather than structural. Growing up here means navigating a particular cultural moment, and the show takes its time with that, letting human detail carry the emotional weight rather than rushing toward resolution.

A high school band graduates and attempts to achieve fame and success in the music industry.
The Runarounds brings the same 1970s workplace coming-of-age energy, with music driving friendships, ambition, and the daily grind of trying to be taken seriously. Like Salcedo, Leather, and Boogaloo, it leans on character pressure in shared spaces and warm jokes that keep the tension moving forward.
A mysterious teen girl arrives at an all-boys school in 1970s Colombia, breaking stereotypes, rules - and a few hearts.
Eva Lasting matches Salcedo, Leather, and Boogaloo with a 1970s coming-of-age focus on identity, where small classroom moments carry big emotional consequences. The slow romance and quiet disruption of a closed social world echo the period-specific tension and intimate pacing, but it stays gentler and more inward than workplace-driven drama.
A retro office comedy depicting the chaotic events that unfold in the late 1990s when Sammo Hung, a 30-year-old elite securities supervisor who only cares about work, goes undercover as a 20-year-old high school graduate employee at a securities firm where suspicious money flows are detected.
Undercover Miss Hong delivers the same workplace tension and growing-up pressure, using humor to keep the stakes sharp while characters juggle who they are. In the same way Salcedo, Leather, and Boogaloo turns music and youth into momentum, this one builds laughs from office hierarchy and secrets, then adds danger under the jokes.
