Both dramas show the business career development of young people, how creativity and prioritizing people in business is what creates real economic success. Much of the drama is also focused on the loyal friendships of the main characters. Whereas Akira to Akira doesn't have any comedic elements, and is specifically set in the banking world, if you enjoy it you'll likely enjoy HOPE, which has a similar progressive storyline.

Both are about banking, and black sheep protagonists whose philosophy is that banking is about people rather than just money. Both show the drama of what is behind a loan, and how it ultimately impacts lives and the overall economy, although Hanzawa Naoki is far more suspenseful.

Another Korean erotic film that is very explicit but also beautifully shot. There's also a gay couple in it.

Similar genre as fantasy, wuxia, but with a much better storyline and much better casts. Comparing to this Fighter Of The Destiny, the casts seems a little lack of acting experience, childish, worst, the male lead Lu Han doesn't even match with the female lead Bextiyar G. Where else Noble Aspirations' male lead - Li Yi Feng thou he's quite a "baby face" but not sissy or softy like Lu Han. He played his role as Zhang Xiao Fan and he draws out the the role as it should be, with the popular female lead - Zanilia Zhao, they both are good match with the vibes. And about the storyline's comparisons, Noble Aspirations is... (how should I put it) ... Emm, more to straight to the point & easy to understand without confusions...

Half of the story line is based on true facts from The King's Women's story. Gong Shun Li or known as Li Ji / Li Er, had a son ( Tian Ming ) with her second disciple brother - Jing Ke before she was enforced into Qin Palace and later became the Qin Emperor Ying Zheng's women. This story is part of the continuous events happened after Qin Emperor Ying Zheng killed Jing Ke and lady Gong Shun Li, about how Jing Tian Ming and few other tribes how they rebelled & survived under the ruthless Qin enforcement. Other half of the story is just a legend and a journey of discovery of the legendary "Mo Zi" inventions.

Well it has the same bromance vibe and melodrama family the difference is that focus at sports but overall i enjoyed this drama you will not regret it if you watch it in my opinion!

You can find there the same kind of sweet chinese humor. Both dramas have a lot of magic and romance.

- Yoon Hyun Min is a main lead in both dramas
- both dramas deal with crimes against women
- both deal with law and law enforcement

in both dramas the main charas are some kind of villain and the love story is pretty dark and both are masterpieces, Aishite tatte is full of twists I'd never expected and it comes with handsome male lead, Byakuyako is a lot darker overall and a lot more twisted, both are worth watching

There is an episode of Bad Guys dealing with serial murders in the rain that reminded me of the movie Memories of Murder where the female victims where all killed when it rains.

The series Tunnel was inspired by the unsolved Hwaseong serial murders just like the movie Memories of Murder.

The atmosphere these two dramas give off is too alike. Mystery. It keeps you guessing. Addictive, wanna watch next episode ASAP, and painfully bearable at times. They both have the same actor Kento Kaku. If there's a Japanese word for Makjang (Korean), let me know what it is called. I don't think this genre of dramas is an equivalence to the Makjang genre in Korean dramas. This is in some ways alike Makjang but is added another ingredient on top. This is a type of J-dramas that I haven't known its term yet. It is more realistic than makjang and is added a Japanese society into it. It has a Japanese flavour, duh!
I find Makjang cheap, but the J-drama ones are made better.

In Behind Your Smile Zhao Yiting only sees his revenge, but ends up falling for Lei Xinyu in the process. However, Another Miss Oh Park Do-kyung gets his revenge on his runaway bride, but finds out he is mistaken and has spoiled another woman's wedding. He gets entangled in her life and ends up falling for her.

The premise sounds pretty similar. The rich guy moving to a poor neighborhood to start from the bottom and the poor girl that helps him out.

Scarlet Heart is set during the reign of Kangxi ( 1661 – 1722) while Rule the World is set at beginning of Qing Dynasty. The male lead is Huang Taiji (the first actual Emperor of Qing Dynasty ) while his father is Nurhaci, is the founder of Qing Dynasty.

Scarlet Heart and Rule the World have a similar plot: a woman who goes back in times and gets entangled with the princes of the reigning dynasty.
So if you like the first drama, you could like also the second.
