Though the genres are not the same, there are some similarities:
- both male leads initially come off as ridiculously cocky (one is a king who's handsome and he knows it, while the other is an uncultured nouveau riche) but they are very smart when things get serious and very professional when it comes to work.
- both female leads are strong and independent from start to finish in their own ways: in TKEM, she's a tough fighter (literary) while Dali is elegant and classy.
- both couples have amazing chemistry and a nice supportive relationship. They each accepted their partners as they are despite their polar-opposite personalities.
All-around, Dali is a better written story because it has less plotholes and product placement, and is more grounded in reality. However, TKEM has way better production and cinematography and much bigger stakes making everything feel epic.
I highly recommend both.

quite suprised no one thought of this comparison before!
Both dramas has the same environment- school for rich children.
the female lead is an outsider in some way - not rich and hold different perspective on school life.
there is a love realtionship developed between male lead and female lead .

"School 2021" is a serious type of drama with sorts of twists while "A Love So Beautiful" is a more free, upbeat, and bubbly school drama.

Both being Japanese school dramas, they both have a very similar atmospheres. And they both pursue an underlying narrative of understanding others. Some of the character types resemble each other (although in a more serious manner in Shujin-Ko). While there is a BL storyline in both, it’s a side story in shujin-ko, rather than the main relationship (like it is in Kieta Hatsukoi), but the concerns and conclusion of both resemble each other greatly.

Another simple, lighthearted school BL centered around finding and accepting your feelings. They both have similar pacing, and the relationship dynamic is also similar: one entertainingly honest and caring character - paired with a more cold and quiet athlete.

They are both on Netflix and have a similar vibe. Even the posters give me the same vibe. I personally think that if you really enjoyed OBS that Hometown is the one for you.

The story is not similar, but their chemistry is as intense as in Dali and the Cocky prince. Both couples were really cute and I felt like I was watching two people who really fell in love. Also in both dramas the guy fells first witch was really cute.

The mother is Second Chance is also played by Tanaka Misako, and similarly to Brother Beat, she plays a single widowed mother of three boys who works in a grocery store. Akai Hidekazu, who played the boys' father in Brother Beat, is also the main male lead in Second Chance! Both series have comic scenes, as well as heartfelt moments, although Second Chance is more about the mother than it is about the boys.
