In Forest and Descendants of the Sun, both leads are officers (in Forest, the male lead is partly a rescue officer) and doctors (the female lead is a doctor). There is little to no love triangle with the leads, and both female leads are kind-hearted doctors. The story also occurs in a remote place. While DOTS focused more on Argus and the children, Forest focuses on the elderly who are poisoned by the village's running water. In both stories, the female lead has been kidnapped to threaten the male lead.

Both drama have:
A director type ml that deals with trauma and psychological issues that are tied to his childhood, a doctor fl who helps him throughout, bickering, emotional scenes, company conspiracies and power struggles.

Both shows:
>> Are heavy on the romance and are a light watch.
>> The MLs are wealthy and like taking care of the FLs.
>> Both leads meet briefly before ending up living in the same small town.
>> The FLs fall on hard times and try to find their purpose in a small town. In DDSSLLS the FL messes up during surgery and she ends up being sent away. In DDSSLLS the FL loses her dad and her dad's company and she ends up moving to a small town.
>> The MLs are lonely and they fall in love with the FLs first.
>> The MLs try to overcome a past trauma.
>> The FLs are warm and cheerful.

I noticed that these two have similar vibes.
- both female leads are doctors who worked hard from the bottom.
- in Forest, male lead is sort of a rescue officer, while in You Are My Hero, male lead is a special police who often rescues people in need.
The leads's chemistry and acting are very good in both dramas.

Both shows have the same light-hearted vibe, even though the leads have also faced some difficulties. In addition both shows:
> Showcase a hate to love / enemies to lover type of relationship.
> The FLs tended to keep people at bay due to a past trauma.
> There's a slight love triangle which, thankfully, gets abandoned.
> ML is extremely sweet towards the FL and almost acts like a different person.

Both dramas are related to saving lives in tough nature conditions and tell about rescue activities.
Recommended by Foglia
- Both Main Leads move to the rural area
- Both Main Leads have a connection to the rural area
- Acquaintances from earlier on
- In both dramas, one of the main leads is a doctor
- Both ML's come from a "high" status (worked for their title)

"Forest" is more of a serious drama that focuses on what the Main Lead's problem is, while in "Once Upon a Small Town" has a more slice-of-life feel.
