Both dramas are about a fugitive man "bad boy" falling in love with a person that cannot see properly. There are a lot of similarities in the story telling method as to how they address all the matters with blindness and being independent and loving despite everything. The dynamic between the couple is also sweet in the fact that they love and respect each other without any pity. There are also similarities later in the last episode but I don't want to spoil. Both stories are beautiful ??

If you already watched Koi Desu, What She Likes could be a better or an alternative ending for the story for Shishio & Izumi. To be honest, I am torn with the ending they had whether it is even a good or a bad one.

On the other hand, if you already watched What She Likes, Koi Desu features a story similar to Jun but has a different reason why they want a relationship. I was struck with the conversation they had in the laboratory (the one Ono overheard/eavesdropped) and I feel like there is a similar conversation in Koi Desu. If you like watching people with such depth about getting into relationships, you'll probably want to watch Koi Desu.

Both are about a relationship that develops between one of the leads who is visually impaired (with low vision) and has an overly protective family and the other lead who is poorer, looking for work, and a "bad boy". Despite their differences, the two are drawn to each other.

Both MLs have facial scars and are very warm hearted but people misjudge them and are afraid of them. They hang out or work at a restaurant where the owner/workers are their friends. The main female character has a special trait (visual impairment vs. reading minds) which leads her to not misjudge the ML like most people do. Both shows have a similar quirky humor and some sweet moments.

Jun is an 18-year-old high school student. He hides the fact that he is gay from his mother and other people. Miura-san is a classmate of Jun. She likes reading books about BL (genre depicting homoerotic stories). Jun tells Miura-san that BL is just fantasy and that gayness in real life is dirty. Miura-san tells Jun that his remark is offensive to gay people. Nevertheless, Jun and Miura-san become close. Jun becomes interested in Miura-san, and Miura-san begins to have feelings for Jun. One day, Miura-san tells Jun that she likes him.

Because of the wholesome love story between the leads, they remind me of each other. Koi Desu is just a bit more exciting and funnier and Forever Love had a bit more typical Asian drama and conflicts to overcome.

Both feature a love story between a blind woman and man who is a gangster/criminal with a scarred face.

Both are slice of life dramas with a similar feel. In Koi Desu the FL is visually impaired, in Silent the ML is hearing impaired. Both explore their daily life, relationships, and the misconceptions other people have.

FL are both "partially" blind. Both ML's have similar profession.

That Winter,... is a good MeloDrama whereas, Koi Desu is a feel good show.

The main idea that these two have in common is that the ml are yakuza or in Gokushufudo former yakuza.
Besides that I would say G is a lot. more comedic and good comfort show.

-Visually impaired FLs
-MLs who tries to help FLs
-In both dramas we see how the FLs become more and more self dependent as the story progress.
-Kind MLs

Similar premise, female lead that is visually impaired and male lead that is kinda a gangsta. your eyes tell is a bit more emotional comparitively whilst koi desu is quite a fluffy romance drama :)

Los dos dramas tratan de una protagonista que padece de algo que socialmente es estigmatizado: Woo tiene TEA y Yukiko tiene ambliopía.
Los dos dramas tocan las dificultades, el estigma y el surgir de las protagonistas.
Ambos dramas desarrollan una pareja principal memorable, sana y con gran química.
En lo personal disfrute de ambos dramas, aunque la trama no es igual, creo que el que te enseñen sobre realidades muy estigmatizadas y estereotipadas es realmente necesario, tanto como para tomar conciencia, como para empatizar e informarse.
