Both are about libraries/librarians.

Both are about a book girl. Both are based on famous manga......................................................

In a way Im just using it as an excuse to shove Hit the Top down peoples throats.
But I also think whilst them both being very different they have a similiar feel to them, both are in their own way, dealing with being in your early 20s and I could very easily relate to both dramas.

Also obviously Cha Eun Woo as Do Kyung Suk is in it, playing as MJ.

The lone wolves that cry out in silence. Both shows that being a prince has got to be the loneliest position in the world with them being back and forth stabbed. Until the female lead comes along to brighten up their days of misery.

However, rather just damsel-in-distress tales where all things seem to turn right, the characters actually have to overcome plenty of hardships and all events happen for a good reason too.

It's the same story being retold over and over again and yet we're still interested.

Although both focus on the classic trope of star-crossed love, they explore it in slightly different perspectives. Iljimae is a journey of developing one's identity whereas 100 Days My Prince is about finding the identity and happiness that have been lost.

Ultimately, it is still the settings of the historical periods and grace of the plot that really draw the 2 dramas close.

Both have bittersweet love that starts off during childhood. They would heart-wrenchingly be forced to part and then reunited by fate.

The child actors are extremely good at starting off the drama and really draw you in right from the beginning.

They also have the charm that old historical dramas seem to have in terms of visuals and not being overly 'modern' and 'crisp'.

There seems to be a good balance between romance and politics as well.

Both are competition survival programs intended on debuting a KPOP group after eliminating contestants through various challenges.

Both star Ayase Haruka as a female Warrior. Both are very similar...............................................................

Both are epic Ninja movies about Kunoichi.............................................................

Both are Kung fu modern kickass movies.............................................................................

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

Both movies are about gang of con artists trying to pull off a heist................................................

Both movies are about opera plays. Both movies star Ziyi Zhang...........................................

Both are dramas which have the ML centered on revenge. Both MLs become rebels against the King. Both constantly get separated from their love interests, but make their way back together in the end.

The female and male lead from Weightlifting Fairy both appear as supporting roles in Cheese in the Trap so if you love this actor and actress make sure to watch. I think that Lee Sung Kyung does a great job acting in both roles and it after having seen her in Cheese in the Trap and then seeing her in Weightlifting Fairy I think she is a top rate actress and I really loved her roles. She was over the top crazy in Cheese in the Trap as In Ha and she is a spunky strong girl as a female lead. Both have great story lines with strong female leads for some girl power and attractive hot male leads.
