I usually dislike war/action themed dramas, but Battle of Changsha is way more than just that. The drama revolves around the Hu family and their struggles. Like 1988, I came to care deeply for each of the characters. Both are more realistic/character-driven drama, though Battle of Changsha has a more serious tone to it. This was one of the first Cdramas I started to watch (bc I'm running out of Kdrama lol), but it was AMAZINGGG.

the same kind of environment ~

"Five women live on the 22 floor of the same apartment. Different in personalities they each have their own struggles in their career, family and love life. As they get to know each other and journey through the struggles of living in Shanghai, they each undergo a transformation."

In I Remember You, the main character is given series of clues and problems to solve through each case to find the serial murderer. With these cases, the murderer wants to let people know the real meaning of his acts. The main character works hand in hand with the police to uncover the truth.

In Wanted, it's a similar concept with the addition of a reality TV show and kidnapping. Both are very interesting dramas and will keep you at the edge of your seat.

Both dramas psychological and deal with the deep issues of human nature. We see that both male characters are a mystery at first, and each character has their own battles they must fight. I loved Cheese in the Trap for the most part, but I found that Beautiful Mind far surpasses where CITT fell short, in character development.

Both movies have this "body switch" theme ... and they're both rom-coms

Essentially they are both big friendship drama/movie. If you love seeing friendships, these are the ones to watch.

This drama has sort of same characters. The only difference is that LIT has more romance and its more a high school drama and HNH has more office romance with more mature characters.

These dramas are very similar because they are about high school students and their love lives, friendship and sexuality. They also depict gay couples.

Both of the stories have an unique plot. One with a mixed media of romance and comedy. And the other romance and affair. There is another recommended drama back in 2009, called "Buzzer Beat". Keiko Kitawaga, my other favourite actress stared in it with
Tomohisa Yamashita. Japanese drama never disappointed or discouraged viewer of their romance and love stories.

Excellent romantic and love story. Japanese have indeed have the best plot for summer love stories. Tremendous!

Shows how things are behind the scenes making and producing dramas and tv shows. They're also both made with interesting story lines not boring at all.

These two dramas are very similar. Both have the themes of school times, friendships, and romance. only difference is the relationship dynamics and the stories behind them.

Love @ Seventeen features a guy who spent time things about the girl and Fifteen Years features a girl who spent time thinking about the guy.

Both dramas have swindler(s) helping honest civil servants vs corrupt ones

Most asian dramas are feel good series made for escapism. These two dramas doesn't put an instagram filter on their characters lives. All of them are going throu real life.

Just watch the whole series from 1 to 3. The fourth Doctor X season 4 is also coming out. They are both overpowered surgeons who cares about the patient more than anything
