Both dramas have the main character as a visually impaired person. In Crush, it is ML. In ALML, it is FL.
I watched Crush without having high hopes, I found a gem. Crush is a very good drama, then reminds me of an old drama which I always kept in my heart, that is That Winter, The Wind Blows. In Crush, ML is blind. In That Winter, The Wind Blows, FL is blind. Both dramas have outstanding cinematography, talented lead actors and amazing plots.
Although different plotlines, the basics are the same - the ML, FL fall in love then separate but still hold a candle for each other, reunite and work it out. In crush the ML is blind and gets himself operated and his irritated nature makes FL not be able to be with her father during his last moments. The ML gets surgery and comes back. In L&P, the ML comes from a dysfunctional family of abuse and FL is a literal princess coming from a well-to-do wealthy family creating contrast and interesting scenarios. In both the ML is a genius with sad past and is lonesome, who is happiest with his bubbly FL.
[Minor spoiler] Both couples find comfort with each other in a special way. Both ML have a dark history of their childhood regarding their mom and both FL have their own psychological issue. Wonderful cinematography in both dramas, piano elements, great OSTs and a lot of green sceneries. You will find both of the dramas appreciate sound a lot. Both are the types of dramas you will enjoy watching while drinking coffee on raining days.
