Fake It Till You Make It has a very similar tone to Something in the Rain! Both are good slow burn, friends to lovers stories. Both depict a more real to life, mature relationship between adults and deal with some of the difficulties and obstacles in relationships, beyond just being in love. Definitely one of the most mature and better produced cdramas I’ve seen!
The chemistry between the leads in both is absolutely electric! Heart fluttering, butterflies. If you like one, give the other a try!

Both have a fantasy, other world element. ML is a fish out of water from another world and FL has to help him navigate and try to fit in. If you like the fantasy elements of one, give the other a try.
I'm really enjoying Fireworks of My Heart partly because it's similar to the parts I really loved in Descendants of the Sun! If you enjoyed the dangerous jobs and life or death background to an angsty romance where the leads are trying to stay apart because they don't want to get hurt but can't help pining for each other and being pulled back together than this is for you! That's not everyone's cup of tea, but if you liked that aspect of Fireworks than you'll probably like Descendants and vice versa!
Both shows follow our leads as they heal from breakups, partly through their relationship with each other. I think both stories are written incredibly well and really take you on that emotional arc with the leads in a way that feels very natural.
Both shows have a bit of a slower pace and are more introspective. Both shows also have episode titles/themes that are incorporated into the episode in clever ways. Both have certain subtleties and through lines that are really brilliantly written into the story.
If you enjoyed one definitely check the other out!

Both are sagueks that balance a comedic lighter tone with some darker more serious moments. Both have a cross dressing lead, although in ToN it’s the ML and in OBY it’s the FL. If you enjoyed one give the other a chance.
Both follow the staff behind the curtains working in a fun industry. Both were mostly lighthearted and comedic. Felt they had a similar vibe. If you liked one, give the other a try!
Both dramas have a dark fairytale, mystical vibe that felt very similar to me. Both have some fun, dark comedy, as well as a childhood mystery that is key to the plot. If you liked Link you’ll probably like It’s Okay to Not Be Okay!
Secretary Kim is an overall much lighter and more classically comedic drama than Link, but both have a childhood connection/mystery which is key to the storylines. Link is more of a dark comedy, but if you enjoyed one you might enjoy the other.
Set in a similar time period. Both are more comedic sageuks but also have a story with some emotional weight. MLs are both scrappy but powerful. Sweet romance in both that is well balanced with the other storylines. My Only Love Song is a bit sillier, but they have similar tones. If you enjoyed one give the other a try!
Both are fun lighthearted comedies paired with a darker mystery element. Both have kind of a comic book vibe.
Both shows have a dark fairytale vibe. It’s Okay is a bit more emotional and deals with mental health issues. The comedy is also a little darker and there’s no real magic in It’s Okay. The romance is pretty central in both surrounded by the slow reveal of the leads’ past.
I really liked the magical elements of Jinxed at First and was trying to think of other shows that had this level of magic. The only one that came to mind is Hotel del Luna. Both have good world building and the scale of the show and story feels really big and powerful, like any good fairytale. Hotel del Luna also has a romance, but it’s not as central to the story. The vibe of these shows is pretty similar.
