Assistant x Singer
I found many similarities towards the concept of these two while I rewatched Accidentally in Love. Not only does the singer not get to sing the types of songs he likes but the assistant and singer both start out as disliking each other. Differences between these two is that Accidentally in Love is more comedic based while The Brightest Star in the Sky has a more serious feel.

- Both star Ztao as the main lead
- FL works for the ML as his assistant
- Similar bickering relationship between the ML and FL
- FL likes the second lead at first but then he betrays her.
- In both dramas the FL helps the second lead with his work and helps him try to get to the top.
- Similar type of comedy
- Ztao's character is very similar in both dramas and very real (I think he put his own personality in his characters).
- BSitS is an outright slow burn whilst LR is sort of a slow burn only the ML always liked the FL and the FL slowly grows to like him the same way.

The stories were super similar, but the show business aspect of Bei Bei and Jiawei careers reminded me of The Brightest Star in the Sky and it honestly made me want to rewatch it. It made think how I wish they showed more scenes of Bei Bei being a career driven actress because all I got from this drama was that we were told that Bei Bei was this amazing actress, and we just had to believe it.
My Dear Donovan drama reminds me of The Brightest Star in the Sky, as both Female Leads have never been personal managers before and had different job backgrounds. Thus, the Female Leads learn the rope of the job specifically and the entertainment industry generally. Both Male Leads are celebrities. Both Male Leads are supportive to their Female Leads, vice versa. Both also show the work scope of the agencies that are not as glamorous as it seen, full with issues.
The difference is the length and complexity of work of personal manager and talent agencies. My Dear Donovan is only 10 episodes, thus less complex. The Brightest Star is 44 episodes, drags in some side stories.
