havent watched love for you yet (gonna start it after the 2 dramas i am currently watching) but from reading the description, this really reminds me about the kdrama tree of heaven (2006).
literally the entire first paragraph of love for you's description is the EXACT SAME PLOT.

in both, the mls are grieving the death of their mums. in both, the fl and ml start living together because of their parents getting together and being in a relationship. in both, the ml really hates the fl and is cold at first but the fl is kind. in both, the parents die/disappear so its just the ml and fl lead depending on one another. im honestly so surprised how similar the 2 are?? surely they got some inspo from tree of heaven? or its just a crazy coincidence and im losing my mind hahahha.

?nsan olmayan varl?klarla aksiyon dolu sava? k?s?mlar?, ritüeller çok benzer. Ortak sava? k?s?mlar? da öyle

Her iki dizide benzer büyü, geçmi?ten gelen bir korku dolu, gerginlik yaratan hikaye var, intikam pe?inde ko?an ölüler ve ya?ayanlar var

Chok benziyor, iki bash rol oyuncu aras?nda olan sevgi shekli de benzer bence, korku, aksiyon k?sm? da benzer

Both are historical drama with the following commonality:
- Strong ML who is a prince/royalty
- Great chemistry with supportive ML and well written/smart FL
- Scheming & Court politics
- Hidden identity
- Satisfying ending

Both are about the growth of the characters and have a sport theme. I would say the feelings I felt watching Road to Success reminded me of when I was watching Twenty Five Twenty One—sad, happy, mad, honestly an emotional roller coaster. I lovee the character development for each of the characters especially my girl Na Heedo.

“And so we put goldfish in the pool” is an extremely artistic short film that is also about high school girls who want to leave their small home town for better lives.

Both have an overbearing rich CEO who crave the attention of their partner & would do everything for them as a hopeless romantic & showcasing lots of puppy eyes when sth doesnt go their way.

The MLs have no sense of reality at first & think everything can be bought with money but start to be humbled by the ordinary living standards of their partner.

Partners can stand up for themselves, are independent and hold ML on a tight leash.

Overall, both series are enjoyable in their own way - always in for a good laugh.

If you enjoy morally dubious love interests, unreliable narrators, Faustian deals, and romances with body counts, might I suggest that fans of one will enjoy the other? 7 Days Before Valentine is about a struggling actor while Don't Be Too Emotional is about a university student preparing to take over his family's Traditional Chinese Medicine pharmacy, but the implications of supernatural elements is played in much the same way across both series and to similar effect.

- step/adopted sibling romance
- bad boy male lead
