The Detective 2 is a continuation of The Detective 1. All the unsolved crimes continue in The Detective 2, and the romance of the leads also blossoms in the second part.

Okay, so I just finished Reply 1988.

And I'm currently watching Hospital Playlist with my mom.

The similarities are DEAFENING!

Don't get me wrong, the plot and storylines are completely different. The similarities are within the relationship dynamic of a strong friendship among a group of people that interact in the same environment every day. There are serious moments, but the comedy is *chef's kiss*. Both casts are golden.

While I haven't finished Hospital Playlist yet, I'm so excited to keep watching! (I have to wait until my mom has time to watch the next ep. Grrrr)

Reply 1988 was so amazing. I wrote a review on it right before this, so click on my page to see how I enjoyed it.

Bottom line is that if you enjoyed one, you'll enjoy the other.

Both dramas have witches
both are running food establishments
But they kinda drama have opposite feels, one has a light romantic comedic feel while the other has a dark fantasy feel.

-Both female lead has a exellent embroidery skills
-Both female lead are intellegent
-Both female lead start as a commoner and raise in ranking
-Both female lead is cherished by their Queen
-Xue kai as a Male lead

Can we just say that every crime drama watchers must go straight right into the Light On Series because that's how it should be? In terms of how frustrating it is, I can say The Long Night is at this level.

Same police drama setting that goes against an organized crime group. It gives almost the same feel/vibe as well. Really great drama to watch if you're not over The Thunder, yet.

Both dramas look at class difference. Both have working class FL and rich ML. In both the ML is anti social and rude. Both have the FL going through bullying but not as excessive as Boys Over Flowers. I loved the vibe of School 2017, the friendship is shown really well and seems more relatable.

They have the same type of right from the whole show. Although FOE is more romantic and lighter than SM.

Hidden/Double Identity
Boss/Employee Lord/Maid relationship
Multiple couples
Both sweet as sugar (Xia Ge)
Fangirl /Idol

SIMILARITIES:
- ML and FL have a mature relationship
- ML and FL are career-focused and driven
- ML and FL are in different careers/fields (one is doctor)
- drama contains some sort of disaster-response scene/mini plot
- head-of-department in the hospital has some previous history with a side character that had misunderstandings which were amended later

DIFFERENCES:
- TCoL has hella toxic characters and focuses on character development while YAMH doesn't really
- YAMH second CP is consistent comedic relief

This drama is also a romance where video games takes a huge part. Love 020 is kind of a classic, I think that if you enjoy Chinese drama, you have to watch it at least one time.
In Love 020, the female lead is university student so if you like drama wich takes place in university, you will like it.

Another male gumiho but with a little more darker backdrop and more fantasy elements in the tale of the nine-tailed.

Same vibes on the first day of college there is like a celebration.
"most handsome in school" ML
University vibes
The FRIENDSSSS

An eccentric group purchasing villains and respectful justice with doubtful methods, almost illegal, with a lot of ironies.

The main characters in both fall for each other pretty early on and support each other. The male leads are both completely devoted to their female leads in a way that is very endearing.
