- the rivalry dynamic is pretty much the same, from childhood to university
- a similar amount of angst caused by one-sided secret pining
- a heartfelt, meaningful kissing scene

Both are about long distance walking, LOL. Both has some comedy and humor in it. It is about perseverance and determination. Good fun.

I recommend you to watch this if you like Young Jae x Yeo Bin ship. We didn't had enough scenes in Beauty Of Revenge and First Love And High School.

Both are sports dramas. PRIDE focuses more on the star players, HSL seems to focus on the management of the team.

Both involve a fair bit of play (PRIDE on ice hockey, HSL on baseball) - pretty engaging on both dramas' sides.

While Second Chance features relatively known actors and Friend Forever consists mainly of new faces, the production style of both series are very similar, making both simple and easy to watch. Likewise, the characters have to learn similar life lessons from their relationships.

Both film about single woman fell in love with a married man. The struggle of the single woman. How and what she get out of it. Adult film

Both film involve young beautiful woman in love with a married man. How the story goes, mature adult film. The inner struggle. The society, the family

Both film have the setting at the funeral. Detail unexpected story after story resurface. Some bittersweet. Story of the survive and story of the deceased.

Both main leads on both drama enrolled in military/ police academy young naive, fall in love, taking up mission together. Will their relationship grow and last?

Both main leads in both drama enrolled in a military like training, subsequently involved in secret mission. Both were in love but will it possible for them to be together forever?

Similar stories, with the male lead being non-human, both really great stories if you're a fantasy lover and haven't already seen this one!

trust the reviews! must watch both of them!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Both reality show showcase military training.
" The Soldier" is an elimination competition type of program, whereas Real Men Show celebrities experiencing military life and training.

in Both dramas:
**Mystery/romance and even crime dramas
**Very similar MLs (it's main similarity of these dramas). mysterious and very charismatic, dark lonely antihero type ML, whos past is secret/mystery and also trauma for him. He is quite playboy, playing with girls feelings while not feeling himself anything, lying them, not regretting causing pain for girls who love him. He doesn't care much about anything, about material or even not material things, it's very hard to know what happens in his head or heart. It's very hard to make him feel anything, especially love.
**Though he is so closed type guy, from first view some may think he is very flirty and even funny, he is that way with FL too.
**FL is interested, intrigued and attracted by ML, wants to know more about him, support him... he opens up with her more then anyone (but still not so much, especially in "Piece")
**While drama develops, opens secret past of ML, overall his secrets and mysterious personality - is he so dark/guilty or not? is he killer or not?

Overall "Smile has left your eyes" is much (!) better and another level drama, "Piece" has this vibe and good details but isn't executed (or story isn't written enough good) as well... but these similarities is there and ML's really are very similar.
#So after Pieces it will be great to watch this great Kdrama (which has original Japanese version);
#After SHLYE you may enjoy with some similar vibes (but not expect same level drama).

The drama is also based around 4 men and a woman who ends up living with them. The male lead is cold towards the female lead in both dramas. The overall feel of both the dramas is cute and cliche.
