With themes of class, furious jealousy and bitter envy twisted into revenge, both of these are perfect for a nail biting night in.
With same actor playing the male lead in both, you can expect the same gritty action and powerful emotional drive in both of these shows. Both main characters are on the hunt for people who may have harmed his loved ones and won't hesitate to cut down those in his way.
With shamanism, humour, horror and romance disguising a core of palace politics, human flaws and our fear of the unknown, both these shows bring the feel of other worlds close enough to touch.
Both of these are realistic slice of life romance in the workplace with heartwarming colleague relationships and great character growth.
With both of these shows being hilarious, with superbly written quirky characters, time travel, and an FL that you can't help but fall in love with, they are both a must watch.
Both of these are rom coms involving employee-boss relationship, and set in the workplace with workplace cases interspersed throughout the drama. They both take a look at social dynamics in the workplace, especially in romance between colleagues.
Both of these shows are about a power couple, with themes of marriage, divorce, conglomerates, relationships with your in-laws, and differences in social status in romantic relationships. The FLs in both are quirky and misunderstood. I feel like the romance, comedy and melodrama balance is similar in both of these.
In both of these beautiful melo dramas, the leads went through something traumatic together, and then years later, without realising, begin to help each other out of the darkness. With themes of healing, friendship, self-discovery and trauma, both of these shows pack an emotional gut punch. Both romances start with the leads becoming close friends first which is the cherry on top for me.
Figuring out the identity of one of the main leads is the core concept of both shows, set in the police and detective environment, where the answer to the central mystery keeps the viewers guessing all the way through. Both the ML in Awaken and the FL in The Art of Sarah are characters shrouded in secrecy and darkness and it feels like peeling back the layers of an onion while watching (including the tears!). Very entertaining and worth watching.
The office romcom vibes are very similar and the cinematography is very similar. Both are really enjoyable to watch to relax.
Although not obviously similar, the ML in both of these is a doctor and a criminal, and both shows have you debating the morality of his character. With a partial prison setting, and a partial medical setting, both shows hold a high suspense, psychological tension and interesting premise. I highly recommend both of these.
Both dramas feature an FL who is good with children and enjoys educating, and an ML with a tough reputation that precedes him. The humour is fantastic in both shows. Highly recommend both of these.
