It gives me The K2 vibes wherein the bodyguard fells inlove with the woman she is protecting. It has different twist but it has the same concept that the bodyguard fell inlove with her boss. Hope that as the episodes progress we will witness more romance on them. Rain is freaking hot in this series that gives more flavor in the series it also has amazing cast and I have to commend its cinematography it was beautifully shot. More action scenes to see.

Both are short (10 eps) D+ dramas where the ML is a bodyguard with a past. The FL is a public person of some importance. There might be some cold-hearted romantic development with the lead characters pretending nothing is happening while it is happening.

Hopefully, Red Swan does get a definitive ending.

There are good fighting scenes, lots of SFX and a very interesting soundtrack for both dramas. In terms of plot, they might not have all that much similar, but in terms of cool effects and explosive scenes... they might. IRIS might be more action-oriented, Red Swan seems to have some side-plots too.

ML has a hidden revenge agenda against people responsible for the death of someone he cherishes. In order to get that revenge, he has to join an organisation with its own problems.

Some good action scenes again, for both dramas - hopefully Red Swan doesn't have an open ending.

A woman of mystery and a bodyguard with a secret agenda in both dramas. Some good action scenes in both dramas. The ML acts and looks cool while the FL has the cold-blooded reasoning. There is a streak of romance in both dramas.

It remains to be seen how Red Swan gets to its ending and if it's satisfactory for the story it tries to tell.

- In both shows, the dominant female leads elects the male lead to be her child's father.
They just firmly say "give me a child" and that's it, while the male leads disagree at first because they believe love should be involved to constitute a family.
- Female leads are in an urge to marry/have a child due to someone else advice whom already passed away.

Despite a bittersweet twist, "20th Century Girl" is a captivating journey of first love in 1999, where a high school girl embarks on a mission to help her friend discover everything about her crush, only to find her own heart entangled in the process. Filmed with stunning visuals and masterful direction, this movie is a nostalgic treat. Prepare for a rollercoaster of emotions! You'll laugh, you'll cry, and you'll be left cherishing the memory of Bo-ra and Woon-ho's beautiful, yet bittersweet, love story.

Rental Nan mo Shinai Hito is the male lead doing all sorts of random things for the clients while Rental no Koi is the female lead accompanying the client as a temporary girlfriend.

Similar tale of someone who is in a rental service meeting different types of people every episode while struggling with the realities of life.

First, they are both unhinged. Sometimes their humor is so over the top, but I love that. It's the best medicine to make you laugh. Both have romance but waikiki has more focus on friendship rather than romance, while freaking fairytale focus on the romance between two leads.

They're both so funny and have the same type of humor. Also, they both have romcom as a focus and don't steer to another genre (ex. sudden thriller). I consider them healing drama, where I can just laugh and not think deeply about anything.
