Both dramas involve protagonists challenged by powerful conglomerates. So far, both have pretty dark villains and even some cast overlap. The found families in each drama especially seem similar. Vincenzo is more of an anti-hero drama while Itaewon Class involves a less morally grey protagonist. Both have minor LGBTQ+ storylines. I love the confident badass female characters and the cool and driven male leads in both dramas.

Both movies have the same screenwriter and director hence the similar comedy and overall vibe. They also seem to be generelly liked.

Both have a fashion design theme
Female lead have a passion for traditional Chinese embroidery / style and techniques.

It's has a very sweet underlining love story, that you really don't expect. It is as unassuming as YOU MAKE ME DANCE and it has characters that you can fall for and feel empathy for.

Ok so hear me out! How can a drama about a brown bear be similar to this rom-com? If you like to take a break and watch something that feels like drinking hot chocolate and forgetting about your own worries — both dramas are wonderful for this purpose. But the major reason I would recommend watching Higuma is if you really enjoyed the fluffy, puppy scenes with Jun! You will get even more with Higuma. Each episode is only 5 minutes long but believe me when I say that it feels like I'm watching a 90min long film. It's packed full of heartwarming, dramatic, happy and sad moments. You get basically everything with Higuma!
This drama is just so lovely and will brighten your day, every time you watch it. And both dramas have an idol actor. Shigeoka Daiki has such an expressive face and a lovely smile!

Both films talk about the moral dilemma of killing a cub bear. In Ainu Mosir is because it's needed for Ainu's ancestral rites.

Palace of Devotion is the predecessor of Serenade of Peaceful Joy. The first story tells how Liu E becomes the consort for Emperor Zhenzong, and later rules as the regent. She continues to rule as regent after the death of Emperor Zhenzong during the early reign of Emperor Renzong in Serenade of Peaceful Joy.

expresses the subtleties of human relationships well,
and you will be drawn in without a flashy sword fight. ..

Both carry a strong sense of the main characters caught in a story. And through the dual contexts, there is opportunity to mock and/or celebrate the typical tropes and cliches.

If you're into high fashion lead lady, with adorable rom com in the throw, this would be for you. Kono Etsuko is aspired to get hired into the fashion magazine she loves since she was young and was instead, being hired and assigned to the review team of the same company. But that doesn't stop her from showing her passion for fashion and for her work. It's truly a lovely and motivating series that i still love to this day

High fashion, working in a fashion magazine company. First class is more focused on the drama in the fashion magazine company rather than the love com though

Policeman, a remote village ,old mystery, budding friendships, -- although the backdrop and the story are not same, somehow the vibe is similar.

The plot and setting is not exactly the same . But A Policeman Solving an old mystery with his new partner, who turns slowly from a distrusting acquaintance into a close friend -- feels same as Beyond Evil.
