I'm calling Lets Eat 3 Reply 2004.

Female teacher and younger and male student dynamic. They are reeeally cute and funny together! Suuper cute watch the puppy love the male leads have fot their teachers, and how they fall in love.

Very similar storyline... but child is older...Korean drama has more comedy & really sweet romance.

The premise for both titles is the same: a human woman finds herself falling in love with a male humanoid robot, a machine.

Kimi wa Petto is about a woman letting a man live in her apartment on the condition that he behaves like a dog at home.
My Woofy Poofy Love is about a woman co-habiting with a man who can actually transform into a dog.

Right after starting Guardian, it reminded me of this drama (fantasy-wise)

A Korean Odyssey is a lot more romantically based between male lead and female lead but both have a pretty solid fantasy background story and some good and some crappy CGI effects to show supernatural stuff.

Same actress stars in both.

Make lead had anger issues and a deeply traumatising past that makes them lash out. Everyone around them fears (Raeng Tawan) or mistrusts (KLKF) them.

Both take place on a farm/ estate and the female lead works for and lives with the male lead.

Because of his anger issues towards her, he tries to change himself for her.

Raeng Tawan is a richer and better version of a similar story. The male lead, though more abusive, is more willing to change, more wiling to apologise, and cry about his pain. He also had greater character growth. He wasn't angry all the time so it lead us to a better family story and better interactions between the leads.

KLKF shows how two people can work hard to build a marriage, support each other and grow towards eachother.

The actress is the same in both - as in no growth between dramas because both stories are required the same from her. She's just a little 'meh'.

It has the whole university drama feels. Kim bok joo falls in love with a guy and she feels bad about how she looks and what she does (weightlifting), so she tries to change everything about herself. At the end of the day she fell in love with someone else, and learned to love who she is.

They have a similar Vibe. If you're looking for something with the same kind of premise, this probably isn't it, but if you felt touched by how the story was told and what feeling it left you with, I'd say these two feel similar to me, to be watched side by side or one after another.

Both are about a gang of strong thieves trying to pull off a heist.......... ..........................
