The master-student relationship storyline in Pearl Eclipse reminds me of Si Yin and Mo Yuan in Eternal Love. But EL was tragic....I really hope this isn't.

Shared similarities in the premise that focuses on the clan-dominated textile industry during the Qing Dynasty.

A female-centric narrative about intelligent and capable women overcoming adversity in a world dominated by men.

Similar premise based on common folk (non-royals) and business setting with a strong FL helping the family business to thrive.

Both are beautiful black and while films by director Lee Joon Ik focused on the lives of writers that paint an insightful picture of some aspect of the period they are set in. They are slow-paced, poetic, and create a sort of intellectual or emotional portrait of the historical figure on whose life they are based. They also focus on these writers' important relationships with the other leads, who function as foils and as major characters in their own right.

Both stories revolve around female friendships and relationships. Age of Youth is more comedic and ROTP has a more mature tone but I think if you enjoyed AOY you'll enjoy ROTP

Miss Back is a variety show but it showed alot about the behind the scenes of "forgotten" idols. they suffer so much mistreatment, they're belittled and ignored, then after years stuck in the feild "training" they're released into the wild outside world confused and lost

Both are crime-solving and investigation drama
both FLs and MLs have cute chemistry but no romance in both dramas
both leads are cohabitating

The FL in both dramas are both in unhappy marriages but eventually find comfort outside their marriages.

Similarities:
?? Same main lead,
?? Who is also a playboy,
?? Love triangle
?? Around school/uni

Enjoy!

If you are looking for 'sexual tension' type of vibe, with great looking actors, where facial expressions relay more than words, then Tempted and Nevertheless are perfect. I would say that the music in 'Nevertheless' gives of a more 'sweet love' feeling. Enjoy!

The longer version of the movie and the original, this one has more longer episodes and you get to see more povs and extra scenes apparently.

Goodbye my princess is the drama version of Eastern Palace so you'll see the same plots, endings and characters.

Bothe
Are about swindlers. The main swindler went against his master. Intense. Revenge. Skillful. Friendship. Good music

Plot is not similar but it's a one time watch
- Family drama/comedy
- rich family issues
- both having happy endings.
