Unlikely love develops and though the girl is not pretending to be guy, she was just a little "unladylike". It was fun to watch and light to your heart.

Relationship between the two main lead is similar
The male lead personality is (talking about his rudeness and hidden kindness) quite similar

Both series feature a similarly sweet and bubbly FL who is steadfast with who she loves, even as other root-for-able male leads show an interest in her. They both also feature a prominent subplot around finding your voice and celebrity life. They also both have similar scenes between the female lead and the non-romantic leads.

Both are gender-blender.
FL pretends to be her brother.
ML is a tsundere.
ML is a singer/guitarist in a band.

Both have talented teenagers wanting to and becoming celebrities. And also cross dressing from male-female and female-male.

Both dramas have:-
- arrogant male lead (but in You're Beautiful the ml is more 'rational' and 'nicer' compared to the ml in Playful Kiss?)
- innocent female lead
- second male lead
- 'evil' second female lead
- cohabitation

Although moon river doesn't have gender bender, the main lead girl is a tom boy and very innocent but is really good in martial arts. (love that fact). Oh and there is a love triangle which gives a very similar feeling to you're beautiful. Moon river is a taiwanese drama which got me hooked up after a long time (while taking a break from my usual korean dramas). Worth trying.

Both are gender bender. At first I think, that TB is inspirated by YB, but I found, that it's third remake of thai old lacorn. In TB main hero doesn't know, that she's girl. TB is one of the best thai lacorn I have ever seen, story was well done, quite similar to korean production. I found out TB quite realistic, but there was only one weak point - main evil character and plot around murder.

Basically the same plot. Girl dressing as a boy singer. He's the woman is old school but still very entertaining.
