It's interesting seeing the differences between Wooga Squad and BTS. The concept of In the Soop is the same, relaxing somewhere in the countryside with a group of friends, but its expressed differently. The original In the Soop has a larger cast with different personalities. Because of this, they often switch things up and try new things. If you're looking for something to watch that is peaceful and expresses the charm of friendship, then you should definitely watch more of In the Soop!

If you like bizarre twists and themes about hidden identity, then this is for you. Other than that not much else is the same.

Both stories involve a queer romance between a human and magical cat who can turn into the shape of a human!

If you liked the Peking Opera in Farewell My Concubine, there is a minor story arch in Story of Yanxi Palace that covers it. They mention a few of the opera pieces by name (including Farewell My Concubine), play out some of the scenes, and even explain a few of the stories briefly. Peking Opera is later banned from the palace though, so it only shows up in the first 1/3 of the show.

Both dramas center around a group of housemates who are friends. If you like that supportive environment in friend groups, then you might have fun with both dramas. Each also explore subplots of dating scenarios and housemate struggles. Even the homes they live in are kind of similar from the outside.

Differences: In Age of Youth, they don't all start out as friends. While Age of Youth has its fun and fluffy moments, it's also a drama with a serious side, unlike Crash.

Hey YOU! Yes YOU! Are you seeking unconventional transgender (mtf) representation? Look no futher than these two shows! Both deal with family struggles and transphobia. Are they the best representation? Ehh that's hard to find these days. However, if you're looking for interesting stories that also include trans people, these are some dramas that are both! Imai no Kuni no Alice's character is not a lead though.

*SPOILERS*
Both follow the leads from high school to adulthood. They struggle with issues in their relationship, seperate, and then come back together. I will say, that if you watch 1 in 10,000, you should watch all three acts. The first and second act aren't very good, but I cried by the third act. Both are also queer shows, though 1 in 10,000 is intentionaly a romance that happens to be gay (between two women), and not a gay romance.

Both stories are a bizarre with extreme characters. They also deal with difficult subjects and feature complicated love triangles.

Both are dark stories that take unexpected turns! Though I will say that The Handmaiden's story is easier to follow than Old Boy.

Both stories have asshole leads who struggle with their sexuality, and helplessly in love co-leads who aren't sure if they want the protagonist. If you continue watching the I Told Sunset About You series (Last Twilight in Phuket special and I Promised You the Moon), then you also get to watch the main leads from both series age and grow over time. They also both involve homophobia, and both include bisexual characters.

Both dramas follow the lives of children and end when they are older. They're also LGBT stories that deal with being closeted and internalized homophobia.

Both stories have protagonists who are sex workers. They have a grungy and romantic element to their stories as well.
