Recommendations

They have one thing in common: both dramas have a mother that, after losing her son (for different reasons), take care of another child raising him as her own.

Even though Pride is a bit darker and more serious, these two dramas both have a male lead dedicated to sports, who fall in love with a woman who is hard to reach. I would recommend Pride for those who were hoping for a more worked out love story. It is also aimed at an older audience.

(P.s Pride also has a Johnny's lead) :P

Not only does it have the lead, Odagiri Joe, but I found the comedy to be very similar, despite how different the story is and the subject discussed.

Another best-friends fall in love drama! This one has a very similar feeling Koinaka (Love Relationship)... the main characters are separated by complications and then later meet up again.

Another best-friends falling in love drama! But, this one has some sci-fi to it. You'll know when you watch it. ;D

If you enjoy romance stories of best-friends falling in love, then this is definitely for you.

p.s One of my favorite dramas! :D

The girl gets adopted into an abusive family, something like a Cinderella story, except that the Rose is a bit more freaky.

Cop accidentally kills someone and tries to cover it up! Also great acting by the leads.

These dramas are similar to the plot revenge for an accident in which she died fiancée main male roles

A similar theme of a rich family's son falling in love with a poor girl, and how they try to overcome the difficulties.

Other deal with overbearing and overprotective father's. Both are comedies, but Hanayome to Papa is a longer drama and has got more of a story to it.

Talk about emotion overload
Honestly, I teared up throughout the whole movie no joke. It was so sad yet so wonderful I would really recommend it.

I think these two dramas have some similarities.

First, their first female main roles almost have some similar characteristics, a messy woman with a messy hair and messy life who always got ridicules by others. They had a hard time building their careers. They both have crush with their superiors. And after so much hardship they made a change in their appearance.

Secondly, their first male main roles are fierce superiors, always being hard towards the first female main roles and eventually like them.

Thirdly, they have second male main roles who like the messy female main roles and always encourage them.

And lastly, they both contain plot stories that have connection with the past.

Both are horror dramas that take place in a haunted, cursed hospital.
