Dating show with similar concept where single men and women meet and stay in the same house for a month.

They're similar in the way that a large portion of the audience will absolutely hate the drama and the characters, because they don't exactly adhere to the usual romance kdrama tropes and make questionable decisions. Like The Interest of Love, even when the characters make decisions that are "bad" or that viewers dislike, there is no indictment of their actions, nothing that indicates directly to the audience, "this character made a bad decision, and is therefore bad." The characters actually feel sorta real, or sympathetic at the very least.

Unlike The Interest of Love, To My Beloved does not have as much commentary on classism or work culture.

The original “Running Man” were “Running Man Philippines” was based from. The Philippines adaptation is co-produced by GMA Network and SBS, the latter the owner of the “Running Man” franchise.

I find this 2 drama VERYY similar:
-Both are married and doesn't know each identity
-Both FL gets messed though kite or whistles about there next mission
-Both FL act weak and innocent Infront of everyone but in reality she is VERY strong especially when it come assassin
-Same for ML they act weak and scared but he is VERY strong
-Both are working form same organisation but they don't know that
-Both are mini drama
-Both romance is TOP Tier
If you like KIAR I 100% recommend

Both shows are primarily youth dramas about a group of close friends that live nearby and grow up together, and both have storylines that focus on family, other adults, and other side characters.

Shows both present and 90s era
High school love
Friendship bonds
Love triangle
Bittersweet story
Top notch cinematography

Both dramas are about a character of a story who dies and come back to a certain time to change the tragic fate. They have both a pretty main couple and beautiful images with a light hearted romance. A very good program for a saturday afternoon with popcorns or noodles.

The second male leads in each give off very similar vibes. They are both seemingly cold and distant, but in reality, are very much interested in the first male lead. There are a lot of comedic moments in each as well (Oh! My Assistant - mainly in the beginning).

If you wish to see another masterpiece, The Ming Dynasty 2019 is considered as one as the male actors playing Emperors Yongle, Hongxi and Xuande are brilliant in portraying the characters.

Yongle in this drama is dark and ruthless by just casting his deadly glance and gaze. His sons and grandson are terrified of him.

I love watching his scenes with his sons and grandson. Although Yongle was a tyrant, he clearly loved his flesh and blood.

The concept is slight similar
- Police working in Traffic Division (Crash - TCI, H&R Squad - Hit & Run also catching a villian)
- Team trying their best to nab the criminals
- Nowadays its trending of remaking dramas from movies I believe this drama might be loosely inspired or adapted from this movie

Mature themed but very different dramas
call it love has angst and is more melo
but the directing is similar and very slow paced with slow conversations

both are noona romance. they are slow , mature themed and fun to watch :)
both have work related aspects in them, in a way realistic

Huang Ying Zi, Jiang Yi, Fang Ming Yu, Zhuang Yuan, Lan Yi Fei, and Guan Chao all grew up together in Hangtian City, and they became known as the "Hangtian City F6". The good friends had promised to be together for the rest of their lives but were forced to abandon their promise because of an incident in the year of their Gaokao college entrance examination. Twelve years later, at the age of 30, they each walked alone on their respective paths of life, working hard and growing up in the adult world. Suddenly, one day, they received the news that their good friend Guan Chao was about to get married. With the help of Huang Ying Zi, the old friends reunited during the wedding, and their memories of youth slowly unfolded. Only then did they realize that the feelings that had sprouted when they were seventeen had never dissipated, and there were many misunderstandings behind the accident... in fact, the friendship that stayed in the past had never ended.

Thai x Korean leads and storyline

This drama is as good as the Ming Dynasty but it has a smaller budget. The Dowager Empress aimed to protect her son's throne from the Prince Regent.
