Mr Sunshine is often seen as the official prequel to Descendants of the Sun.
Part of Kim Eun Sook’s interconnected trilogy set in the same universe (Goblin, Mr Sunshine, Descendants of the Sun), though their releases were adjusted due to production and funding circumstances at the time. Within this continuity, the FL’s parents in Mr. Sunshine pass away and drink the reincarnation cup seen in Goblin, later reincarnating as the second lead couple in Descendants of the Sun.
This is also hinted with the connected title “Descendants from Mr. Sunshine.”

Lee Yeo Reum, a young woman with a promising career and a happy relationship, faces a sudden downfall when her mother dies in an accident and her boyfriend breaks up with her. Overwhelmed, she quits her job and retreats to the seaside village of Angok to recover. There, she meets An Dae Beom, a former physics prodigy now working as a librarian after a fall from grace. As they bond, they both seek healing in the quiet of the village, but can "doing nothing" truly help them move forward?

Peace was fleeting! The tension in the Shinwha unit is rising due to the bombing of the unpredictable 'two new soldiers' and the return of 'him'. Private Park Min Seok's military life, which is about to be promoted, becomes even more complicated.

TLKS is similar to the level of comedy it brings. Their brand of humor is different but they are both funny. Look out for the expressiveness of Park Jihoon’s face.

Similar concept but it's more sad in the beginning but with the more emotional intensity, complicated royal relationships, political tension, heartbreak and unforgettable chemistry, then Scarlet Heart: Ryeo is a must watch. It slowly turns into one of the most emotionally devastating historical dramas ever. The relationships between the princes, the betrayals, the longing, the sacrifices and the tragic romance hit really hard. Lee Joon Gi absolutely steals the show as Wang So, and the OST makes every scene feel even more painful in the best way possible. Just prepare yourself emotionally because this drama does not play with your feelings at all.

Though Flowers of War quite a lot heavier to watch than Battle of Changsha. They both take place during the Japanese invading China, with similar themes of war, love, sacrifice, sadness, and hope.

Time travel drama.
FL from Joseon-era has to deal with modern-day Korea in MRN while in BAYM the FL from modern-day Korea ends up in Joseon-era .

Behind your touch is one of the dramas that comes close to vincenzo for me,since they are both crime and comedy both drama blended that two genres perfectly together,which made the vibe incredibly similar,it was serious and funny at the same time .

Vincenzo is peak,everybody knows how good it is and behind your touch is an hidden gem every lover of vincenzo has to discover.

Highly recommend giving it a chance.

This is also a drama on a very heavy side but shows the reality and how life can change from all sugar to bitterness!!!!

Female leads in both are struggling to move on from an abusive relationship.
Both feature great LGBT storylines in the form of trans and drag characters.

Similaraties:
- Both Bl dramas
- Dominant/Submissive dynamic
- Imbalance in realtionship
- Neither series treats the characters as perfect
- The romance develops through small moments rather than huge dramatic declarations
- Both focus on emotional intensity, you will find more obsessive, complicated, quiet tension in both dramas

Differences:
- Thundercloud Rainstorm is a South Korean Bl
- My Beautiful Man is a Japanese Bl
- Thundercloud Rainstorm has a softer visual mood and slightly more cinematic
- My Beautiful Man leans more psychologically intense and awkward
- In Thundercloud Rainstorm, the characters feel more grounded and approachable
- My Beautiful Man has a very obsessive/admiring type of affection

Top form and Thamepo both have similar topics throughout both shows about mistreatment, how dating can affect a celebritys career and overall both of the series send important messages to us, fans. Personally i really liked both shows and found them very similar.

In both, the tops are very obsessive to the other ml and do almost about everything to get with them.

Our Dining Table is a masterpiece about being someone's support and someone's cheerleader as they go through grief and heartbreak and fear. Plot-wise it's very different from Love of Silom, but I am an avid lover of single-dad-figures in BL... so if you like this trope too watch both these series!
