The Female Lead of IOTNBO has such a "female empowerment" and "psychotic" vibe with cranky, antisocial like exterior and yet deep inside has a softer interior of wanting warmth and answers to her life. Just like how Jang Man Wol were in HDL. If I were to quote I saw from an article, "Ko Moon Young is like the mature version of Jang Man Wol, much more crazier and overbearing"

If you like the cameo that Kim Soo Hyun did for Hotel Blue Moon, then I can almost feel as if his character in IOTNBO is like the prequel of Hotel Blue Moon before he actually became a hotel owner. It is as if the reason for him to own this hotel of ghost was so that he could looked for his FL. In this drama, he still has that cool exterior but is much more warmer inside.

The story writing has similar theme of trying to resolves worries/regrets of people, such as in HDL, they resolve the ghost's regrets for them to ascend to the afterlife whilst in IOTNBO, they give treatment to the patients so that they can heal back to normal and our Male Leads for both drama wants to embrace and heal the scars of our Female Leads.

They are both about sports. Although thumping spike is about volleyball while love summer of night is about basketball. Also they both have the female lead as a coach

In both drama, the main Male Lead is Akkaphan Namart. And the Main Female Leads in the Both drama are very capably intelligent and beautiful.

Very similar in cuteness and more centered on the youth side of romance, friendships and growing up! However, TLE is a bit more mature in the sense that it's based in college, and so the characters are meant to be a bit older, however the main themes of first loves and first experiences can be seen in both shows! both super cute and high rewatch value

Super similar in the activities and games that they participate in! All feature great casts, full of funny ass people and really enjoyable moments. Each episode also has a theme that relates to some life lessons that is important or can be applicable to life. LOVE IT!

Really similar in that famous idols or celebrities managed a certain type of shop or restaurant over a period of time! They learn how to manage the finances, do all of the required tasks that it takes to manage their shop. Any fans of the cast (from Idol Producer!!) will also really enjoy this show! But super similar to FOURTRY!

Honestly super similar in terms of going back to an old fashioned age, where you must learn to farm and gather your own ingredients! This show is a bit different to BTF in that they often have more missions and goals given to them by the directing group, and they switch places every couple of episodes! But just as good, with good long term MCS but less celebrity guests.

And it continues!! If you loved the previous two seasons, there's a 3 season!! Unfortunately, Henry Lau was not able to make it back to be a long term MC on the 3rd season but he does guest star in one of the few last episodes! Additionally, a new MC is added (Zhang Zi Feng). Also tons of really awesome guest stars in this season, you don't want to miss out (Joe Chen, Kris Wu, Victoria Song, Dylan Wang, Wei DaXun, etc.)

A continuation of this season but with an extra MC as well as much better celebrity guest stars! The more this variety show develops, the better it us. You get better content, beautiful scenery and get to experience the humor and loveliness of all the stars on the show.

Both focus on a young group of kids growing up and experiencing their youth, these kids fall in love, develop great friendships, grow up and learn so much altogether! The main cps as well as the side ones are equally cute in both dramas! It's super cute and fluffy if that's what you're looking for!

Very similar in that they both have a young, school time setting where all of the main characters meet when they're younger. They find first loves and you get to some them grow older (not as much in BTWY) but the cute, fluffy and innocent romance connotations are all there! The main male leads are both super smart and have the cold, cool looking personality but both show jealousy traits when it comes to the female lead!

Season 2 of Idol Producer, but similar in helping idol trainees showcase their talent and helping them debut at the end!

A new variety show also about showcasing chinese Idol talents and bringing trainees, new and old, into the limelight! The goal is also to help these trainees debut.

Both drama is a family related drama. If you are into family drama then this is a MUST.
Plot is really good with amazing actors. The drama is bewitching and addicting that I couldn't stop my self for recommending it
Though it is not entirely comedy but has it's moments.It has everything u can ask for and the best part is ending is happy and won't disappoint you.

Both have the theme of robots, although in I'm Not a Robot the leading lady is only pretending to be one, while in Absolute Boyfriend the male lead is an actual android. Even if the similarities between these two dramas start to dwindle as they progress, I think specially if you liked the first third of I'm Not a Robot and romance centered around AI, you'll probably enjoy Absolute Boyfriend.
