Both drama has the same men leader Joe Cheng. Female lead are very funny and unlucky but at the end they can get their love.

Both of them include supernatural elements. The main lead has some sort of power like how Naoya has a power. He is recruited as an assistant to a mysterious guy and they work together to solve problems.

Both ML's are kind of special. In YSMD the ML doesn't have senses, doesn't know emotions and he's kind of innocent to love because of that. In MDB the ML has the same innocence, he doesn't know how to differentiate emotions especially love. Both FL's arrive in unfamiliar surroundings and want to escape as soon as possible but end up slowly falling in love with the clueless ML.

Both films are based on Japanese novels and feature journalists trying to re-investigate an old case; both movies have a hidden layer beneath the surface

same theme of illegal s3x videos. female leads, and a school setting. a bullying concept. overall pretty similar

Like the others, it has the same vibes. Both have the slight "romantic" theme, less gore, but same betrayal AND badass women.

Romantic Comedy Drama
-Both drama settings revolve around the art gallery.
- Female Leads are both knowledgeable to paintings
- Rich and Arrogant Male leads

A little more action but also a spy drama set in the Japanese occupation and the fight between KMT and Communist

- both protagonists are high school students
- both protagonists have very toxic family relationships
- both stories revolve around teenagers who try all sorts of illegal things to get money
- both stories touch on societal issues and mental health (tw: violence, bullying, self harm)

but, extracurricular is a show while young adult matters is a movie. and, their motives for illegally getting money are different from each other.

Both dramas are historical dramas with fantastical elements that stars Lee Joon Gi as the lead male actor. In Scholar, Lee Joon Gi is the more mystical character while in Arang, the love interest is the more mystical character. Actor Han Jung Soo appears as a “hunter of sorts” in both dramas.
Qualitywise, I find Arang and the Magistrate so much better, people should try Arang even if they find Scholar boring.

It's a whodunnit just the same though romance does take a backseat. Also about a woman entering a profession as the first of her gender in a male dominated industry. Has a lot to do with betrayal of close friends but of the male leads. It's quite interesting how similar the two are. Both female leads are intelligent and strong, charismatic characters that never give in or up on their mission to find the truth.

- both are online friends
- both male lead caused some problems for female lead in real life but helped solve the problem they caused in online
- both are sweet

its pretty similar to me because of the cold bad boy and a nice girl, and the vibes are pretty similar
i personally like both so you can totally check it out

Both dramas are heartwarming in a way because the main characters father dies and leaves them alone. The main character then has to live life without any family, that is until "family" shows up. Both characters work in a business with this new family. There is also LGBTQ+ representation in both of them.

-A type of business to help the deceased and their loved ones
-Life, drama, family
-Very heartwarming and very sad
-Digs into multiple people's issues
