recommendations are not just about similarities, so I'll just say (beside be melodramatic) TTON is the drama that got me out of my HDL slump~

Just Dance and The Tale of Nokdu both have Jang Dong Yoon which is nice for people who are getting interested to see more of him ;)

also, even though it happened for a short while, he cross dressed in JD too xD

When it comes to story and genre, they are nothing alike. But if you consider the nature of pain the characters go through; the pain they had to endure for years, the nature of relationships they have; the distance and the closure, they are similar. Both pained and hurt. Both dramas have a sad vibe and tone to them. Also, both leads had a noona figure beside them and coincidently they both did similar work, so they reminded me of each other. Female leads are also similar, the smiling, innocent, but hurt type.

Plus, both dramas are amazing!!

Both a Best friends for a long time, not knowing how to break the best friend code.
Both Female Lead are strong independent women, but when it comes to love they tend to not in themselves.

I personally liked Love and Destiny more, and the two dramas are similar but Love and Destiny is still worth watching because it is very very well done too and the story is great.

It’s also similar because it has a school setting, about bullying, and friends. I recommend you to try watching it..

Similar storytelling and development, as there are time gaps in the story. The relationship between the main characters is kinda similar as well. Also Kasumi and Kentaro appear on both films.
