Itaewon Class

Both are relatively light-hearted dramas that discuss serious topics and social issues. Both involve characters getting second chances and forming a found family. The MLs are kind but want revenge while the FLs are not as emotional. Both teams base themselves at restaurants.

Male leads dream of establishing business and becoming successful, also there are two important female characters. Also have many veteran actors.

Both involve a revenge plot based on an injustice in their youth (involving their fathers) and a slow but steady process to reach their goals. Food and business competition. Corruption: those with money are above the law, while the poor end up receiving the punishments of those in power.

I mean beside the plot, the actors got the same haircut lol. I find it similar to each other as rival is same in age and more powerful than the protagonist.

I believe it's similar because in both the dramas, people from different backgrounds come together to find happiness.

Both series centered around main characters trying to start and manage their own business, then falling in love with their co-workers. Both series have a half-black character and a gender nonconforming character working for said business. Also in both of them the main character's very beautiful and successful ex-girlfriend shows up. And both have a scene when the main character wears an animal costume to attract costumers.

Never giving up.
You will see in this both dramas. That the characters do they best to learn and get motivated and reach they dream.
Navillera and Itaewon Class will say to believe in yourself

The revenge in this Kdrama was solely on basis of Park Seo-joon determination to succeed in his life and avenge his father's death. On a similar note, The Glory is about the female lead taking revenge on her childhood bullies. The viewers that prefer "Revenge" plot would like this Kdrama.

Similar in these aspects:

- Businesswomen/men in the modern world
- Characters once bound by family or past relationships
- Fulfilling dreams
- Motivational lessons and stories
- Individuals making it big in business
- Well written characters
- Hint of romance

This made me remember a lot of "Itaewon Class" , although it´s not a BL the stories are kinda similar and they want to show us a lot of things that still happen in our world...
-Rich vs Poor
-Social Classes
-Bullying
-The desire to be above everyone
-People who are obcessed with the power
The main thing here is the money and power, if you like this kind of stories you will like this one too :)

Both dramas show the struggles of a start up company relating to food. Both dramas are from the perspective of the male lead. The drama contrast in that kkondae intern has a second older ml who is something of a father figure to the primary male lead.

both male leads were really similar in characteristics and their drive to success. both worked hard from the bottom trying to achieve their dreams, and in some ways both did want revenge xD

Itaewon class shares a few similarities with Cheer Up. Both have…
-love story
-love triangle
-social class difference
-passionate leads
-friend group
-inspiring story
-character development
-hardworking young adults

MAYBE CONTAINS SPOILER

in both of them, there is a bad chairman who ruins others life by bribing police, prosecuter or teacher
also the main character suffers from injustice
and the main character tries to destroy bad chairman.
romatism is less than itaewon class but good.

The similarity between these two drama are both of them very inspiring and warm hearted! Both of drama also have taught me about reality of life, did not easily give up and motivate me to move forward even though our life is hard.

The main character interaction also kinda gave a similar vibe where the male and female lead try to understand and heal each other. And the main character also has a huge age gap but it doesn't matter as their relationship will naturally develop :)

If u guys love Itaewon Class, u will definitely love My mister :)
