2.Both dramas center around revenge
3.Both deal with corrupt rich people
4.The antagonists in both dramas were layered and interesting

differences
1.In LL the FL was wayyyyyy more badass and capable. In k2 Anna felt more like a side character tbh
2. There are way more (and better) romance scenes in LL than in The K2. They also had more chemistery
3.LL made more sense

Despite all the differences, both dramas are rlly good.
LL bc of just about everything and The k2 bc of Ji Chang Wook ;)

first of all, I gave both of these dramas a 10! which doesn't happen often.
similar in:

1. Both ML's are incredibly smart, capable, and badass (Healer more tho ofc)

2. Male leads have a cold side but also a very sweet awkward side.

3.Both FLs are innocent, kinda victims, never give up and prove that they are capable in their jobs at some points.

4. Both drama's center around media, corruption, rich people, revenge, and reporters.

5.I loved all the side characters in both dramas. Some were interesting, mysterious, and intriguing, while others were sweet, supportive, and funny.

Both are school dramas , made by the same director and share the romantic ,drama ,school genre ; teenagers characters who will deal with love , find themselves.

Crazy rich families? CHECK!
Family businesses, and fights for the inheritance? CHECK!
A large cast of incredible actors? CHECK!
DRAMA DRAMA DRAMA!

Both take a bit of patience to really get into the juicy parts, but this makes sense since there are so many family members, and people involved. Like Game of Thrones, it all comes together with the different parties, schemes, manipulation etc. Super addictive, and entertaining. It's worth the time and patience!

The first drama of Ju Jing Yi and Zhang Zehan as leads. It’s also about a general that is forced to marry a noble woman. A lot of misunderstanding but they just show how much they can sacrifice for each other.

The original source drama with Zhang Ze Han and Ju Jing Yi. Same male and female leads and explains the “past” lives of the two characters.

These two shows have different atmospheres but they are similar in a way that in "Come and Hug Me" main hero's father killed parents of main heroine :(

90's nostalgia (taiwan and thailand)
protagonist carries a walkman around
searching for the truth regarding their deaths

It's the same drama just one was made in 2001 and the other is a remake in 2015. Andrew in the 2001 version is so AMAZING highly recommend!

Slow burn mysteries in which the character our mc is attracted to disappears. The endings are both open and leave room for own interpretation.

Both are crime, detective, and undercover police work.
In both of them ,both lives are somewhat destroyed by a specific drug task force. They both lose someone dear to them. Like in this one he loses his fiancee, so he wouldn't put her in danger. But she's still intended to look for him and make him turn over a leaf, not realizing he's an undercover cop.

Look forward to this drama.
Both are in the gaming world, and in this one she catches the elite game leaders attention, but she's made a vow not to have any romantic feelings for someone in the same field as her. After much effort what will become of her vow? Can she avoid romantic entanglement?

Both have the concept of the frugal FL teaching her way of life to the ML after the ML lands in trouble for his way of spending money

-Both of them have a groups of friends and rivals that help to learn and motivate from each other.
- Both ML is strong and lovable

I'm connecting it to the story in general. there was a scene in Honey and Clover where the male lead leaves everything behind and gets on his bike with no destination, and in Nagi no Oitoma the female lead also does that. both also had that same drive, they wanted to get away from their lives and start fresh even for a little while
