Family, friendship, politics. The plot is brilliant. You won't get tired of the storyline eventhou it mostly was about how to change & establish a new country. Every character have it's important role.
Kingdom is slightly different to Peninsula in that it is a historical drama with a zombie apocalypse pretense. For those who love zombie shows and movies, it will be quite different to see the circumstances with a zombie show taking place before modern times. Seeing how the characters deal with a zombie apocalypse before the invention of guns and other modern safeties is a wonder in of itself.
This one should be obvious. To understand the zombie outbreak that occurs in Train to Busan 2: Peninsula, watching Train to Busan (the prequel) may not only be helpful, but the first movie is entertaining, filled with amazing cinematography, script and acting on top of a star-studded cast with Gong Yoo and Ma Deong Seok. It is a highly acclaimed film with it being a 2017 official selection for Festival de Cannes. It is a brilliant film that will keep you on your toes as it is a very different type of zombie film.
Both are
- hilarious and
- involves switching body with people who have polar opposite personality
If you found one of them to be great, then the other is worthwhile

Reply 1988 is my most favorite of all the Reply series and that's because I love how all the characters had stories to tell and underwent growth throughout the drama. I laughed a lot and also cried a lot. I was inspired and nostalgic and bitter and hopeful... and that was how Prison Playbook also made me feel. It's one of my life drama along with R88 and Misaeng. Please give it a try and you won't regret it!
If you're looking for series showcasing the concept of time travel with great plot and superb acting, then these two tops my list
Both follow a group of high school best friends who are impacted by a tragedy. Through past (high school) and present (adult) timelines, a supernatural "time-slip" reunites them as they try to fix the past and prevent their biggest regrets.
Additionally, both are set in Nagano Prefecture: Orange in Matsumoto and Boku Dake ga 17-sai no Sekai de in and around Lake Suwa.
Plus, Yamazaki Kento appears in both (but just a guest role in 17-sai)!

The good wife is based off the American drama of the same name. Both dramas are law/lawyer centric and have lots of juicy court cases. Both the ML and FL are highly competent lawyers. Hyena is more about the ruthlessness of the characters who are in the messy position of being both enemies and lovers, whereas the good wife’s central theme is the affair and the fallout of the FL and her politician husband, and the college friend waiting in the wings.

there are a lot of similar themes in these two dramas - Politics, shady law officials, corruption, scandals, murders, violence and cover ups, not to mention wonder women FL’s. These dramas have similar vibes, if not vastly different story lines.
Both feature string, Career driven FL’s with darks pasts. These girls have both survived poverty and violence and pulled themselves up by their bootstraps to become hard hitting lawyers, although that’s less apparent in IHYV till later. They both meet badass (but still softies on the insides) ML’s who are completely smitten from the get go. Hyena doesn’t have the supernatural element that IHYV does, but it does have some kickass court cases that are much more plausible. If you like court dramas, both of these are good fits, though Hyena is more exhilarating and less tear your hair out, IMO.
Both dramas have strong FL’s that are intensely career driven and can drive their colleagues insane with their lack of sensitivity. In both dramas, the ML is a more romantic type who happens to be a colleague at work. Both are noona romances as well.
Both dramas center around career women who are in it to win, frequently to the detriment of their own reputation. Seen as too aggressive both FL brush up against colleagues. Where Hyena has the ML as a colleague/rival, BTD’s ML is the FL’s project (and product) as she launches him into show biz.
Both shows have kind and innocent female leads. The male leads in both take a while to appreciate the female leads.
Both Main Female Lead are Designer & Male Lead are CEO. Although Both are not Fantasy type but closely similar. ML helps FL to fulfil her dream in both drama. Both are such a lovely drama. So, If you like "My Lonely Planet" You'll like "Our Glamorous Time" too.
Both feature seriously badass career women who take challenges head on and aren’t afraid of getting dirty if it gets the job done. Both also feature noona romances with the FL and backstabbing bosses.
