The 1st story of YitB is similar to MtSB as they both revolve around a main character that is a cat who is able to transform into a very handsome, cute human male.

In Youths in the Breeze, the cat-dude has a cute relationship with his female owner, but she never sees him in his human form, leaving their relationship at just a pet-owner level. He instead shows his human and cat form to her younger brother, with whom he develops a close friendship/bromance with.

In Meow, the Secret Boy, the cat-dude develops a romantic relationship with his owner, who doesn't know that the dude is also her cat. He also develops a friendship with the 2nd lead, who is suspicious of his identity.

The 3rd story of YitB is very similar to Mr Heart since they both:
- Revolve around the sport of running/marathoning
- Have a serious character and a more mischievous character
- Are short, light watches with no serious complications
- Have a similar dynamic between the main characters, with the exception that Youths in the Breeze is a bromance while Mr Heart is a BL

It has the same plot about the harem fighting of the main lead’s concubine like in 5he story of the yanxi’s palace. It also includes the slow burn romance between the leads. The female character also has guts and playful the like in the yanxi.

Both movie has the silence. Kind of an art. Acting without sound or words. Purely base on body languages and facial expression. Movie is an art

It's also BL-turned-bromance... it's two male leads, set in the ancient period too. It is also one of the most popular BL dramas, meanwhile Heaven Official Blessings is by Mo Xiang Tong Xiu, Word of Honor or Tian Ya Ke is written by Priest. Both are the top 2 famous authors of BL work.

Wukong movie. Sacrifice in the end. Acquiring Powers to defeat Evil.
Sun Wukong, (The Monkey King) is a monkey born from a heavenly stone who acquires supernatural powers

Wukong movie. FL ML falls in love. Sacrifice in the end. Acquiring Powers to defeat Evil.
The ending is reasonable according to Wukong lore.

Class of lies and extracurricular both involve students having trouble with the law, although class of lies is more about hierarchy among students, extracurricular is about money troubles .

In the same series. Shows how r1se was formed! Zhou Zennan who came first in the show is a mentor on chuang 2021! He is also the leader of r1se.

Both are fish out of water love stories. Both are about opposites attracting and having to overcome insurmountable odds in a dangerous world to be together. Both are fictionalizations of real worlds. Both are top 5 highest rated TVN shows & top 10 highest rated cable shows of all time at the time this recommendation was written.

Both shows have Shin Hye Sun though LOTBS was before SHS became a lead actress. Both shows are time travel fantasy romances where good eventually triumph over evil.
