Two BEST thriller kdrama, The smile has the left your eyes focuses more on that Romance aspect but still has that has thriller, detective aspect to it

the main story is similar, about the FL enter the fiction story and can change the plot. While in W (korean drama) the ML is a character inside the story, and in To Ship Someone both FL and ML can come into the fiction story.

While this is a series...it's similar because just like Daonuea x Nine, Mark and Vee deal with a messy start to their relationship.

Mark and Vee both attend the same college and their friend groups orbit each other like the Moon and Sun.

Mark is in love with Vee's friend, but is rejected by him because he is in a relationship with a fellow college friend. Heartbroken Mark gets really drunk one night while at a club/pub and Vee happens upon him in a super intoxicated state. Vee, takes Mark back to his place with the intentions of letting him sleep it off but ends up having sex with a drunk Mark who has mistaken Vee for the person he has feelings for.

Vee is in a relationship, which is a mess as well. While he believes that his girlfriend is faithful to him...he will soon learn that she is seeing a rich college guy, who's been able to shower her with all of the things a poor Vee cannot. Vee thinking he has a solid relationship and just made a one time mistake with Mark, works to ensure that his girlfriend does not find out about what happened between him and Mark, but his feelings for Mark continue to grow, he can't seem to stop himself form interfering in Mark's like or finding reasons to interact with Mark.

Just like Nine was in a messy relationship with his girlfriend when he met Daonuea at the resort..Nine knew he wasn't free to engage in a relationship but he let his budding feelings get the best of him, and had full intentions of continuing with Daonuea, but returning home he was met with reality again...dealing with a girlfriend who was not mentally stable.

Mark like Daonuea longs to be in love with someone that loves him and want hurt him. He is unsure how to handle the situation with Vee but he also can't deny that since he and Vee had sex with each other, that he has no interest in him.

The series is acted out very well...the chemistry from the two actors portraying Vee (War) and Mark (Yin) is beautiful. I ship these two together, that is how good and beautiful their acting was. It's really worth watching.

The 2nd movie of The battle at lake changjin/Chosing reservoir battle. It is a fictionalized retelling of the fighting at Funchilin Pass during the Battle of Chosin Reservoir against American forces in the Korean War

Tells the story after the Incheon landing, known as the battle at lake changjin/Chosin reservoir battle but from Chinese army pov

Both FLs are resourceful and use their wits to get out of tricky situations. Mainly due to their unfortunate childhood, they have had to learn to be like that and rely on themselves.

Both MLs are generals and have an intriguing dark character.

Both are republican era love stories with mean/badass MLs and lots of steamy scenes.

CR is a full length drama while CoL is a mini-series.
ML in CR is from the mafia, ML from CoL is governer of the city.
Both are revenge based where the FL believes the ML killed her fam (comes later in CR).

Both dramas have similar topics: revenge, politics, corruption, conglomerates, powerful families, but Money Flower is somehow darker.

same role reversal and gentle fdom content, and general Female lead!!!! similar vibes. if u like one will deffo like other

- relationship between beasts/demons and humans;
- fights;
- weak ML with hidden power;
- FL with hidden identity

Similarities:

- Both stories have a very similar feel to them, involving family, friendship and revenge.

- Both MLs fathers left a big impression and set an example to ML, and they were both wronged by the people in power. But in Rebel ML's father is more present during the story.

- Both dramas have a theme of brotherhood, brothers in arms who fight for ML and are ride or die for him.

- Both MLs have very strong loving relationships with their biological siblings.

- Both dramas include a person the ML deeply cares about that sides with the opposing team. But in My Country this is more of a main issue with the 2ML while in Rebel this is more a side thing with 2FL.

- Both include an evil parental figure that despises the ML and his family and are responsible for a lot of MLs' horrible situation.

- Both stories include a conflicted gray character that has inner struggle whether to join ML's cause or not. But in My Country this character is the 2ML, Sun Ho and in Rebel this character is a side character, Mori. In some ways Sun Ho is a what if Mori was a lead instead of a side character? Also Sun Ho has a deep complicated loving friendship with ML whereas Mori's relationship with ML revolves around mututal respect and understanding of their respective situations.

Main Differences:

- Plot.

- Struggling bromance. In My Country the main driving force of the story is the broken bromance between Hwi and Sun Ho. The main driving bromance in Rebel almost never wavers.

-My Country is more tragic, The Rebel still has its fair share of tragic elements but it's way lighter.

- My Country's characters live more in the gray area. You can see they're more complicated and suffer through their decisions to take the less terrible option. In Rebel things are more straightforward (black and white). While characters are flawed and well written, you can always tell who is on the right side and who is on the wrong side.

Both gives similar mystery vibes with misty environment, great actors and suspenseful story line. One must find the truth about death of loved ones.

The synopsis is literally same as the kdrama "A Gentleman's Dignity". Where there are 4 friends. FL likes ML leads friend. Another friend falls in love with friend's sister in that too and not to forget ML helps FL in crisis situations.

Both stories focus around women seeking revenge for crimes committed against them in the past. Also, Yoo Sun is in both of them, though her role is more major in Eve. Eve has more romance and the main character is keeping more secrets, while Queen of Masks is a more a story about a tangled friend group where everyone has their own lies and love stories going on but is not exactly romantic.

Both dramas have a woman out to get her daughter back from her shady ex, and teaming up with women that were originally her enemy in order to do so. Additionally, they both just have a lot of morally gray/complicated female characters. Queen of Masks is darker than Mine, while Mine has a more polished veneer and perhaps a more optimistic outlook overall.
