- Supernatural elements

- Healthy mains relationship
- Both leads are soft and gentle with each other (similars attract)

Similar aspects:
- main character who is good at fighting but tries to hide it and study instead
- female teacher who is teaching at a new school and is learning how to deal with her difficult students
- school that is infamous for a bunch of troublemakers going to it
- horrible bullies who specifically target their homeroom teacher
- the teacher visiting one of the bullies homes because she’s concerned about him even though he’s only been a jerk to her
- no romance
School 2013 is more melodramatic while Study Group leans more into comedic and silly things, but I think they’re both great stories. As I was watching Study Group I was reminded of School 2013 nonstop. There’s probably more similarities that I can’t think of right now, but this is it for now.

-similar premise of hikikomori trying to re-enter back into society while inspiring others.
-Cat Street has a group of students who go to an alternative school because of the same issues presented in Hikikomori Sensei.

Both are historical political stories set in the palace with an ill king, an evil queen, a crown prince no one wants, and corrupt ministers.

Main differences are of course the POV being that of a doctor in TNO but that of the crown prince in Kingdom and of course Kingdom being focused around a zombie apocalypse

AIL leads are divorced, IAMB female lead wants a divorce.
IAMB leads try to conceive, but discover ML is infertile. AIL leads had a still born baby.
MLs in both get close to a secondary character who is a single mother.
There are potential new love interests for the leads with other characters but they ultimately end up with each other.

- In both dramas, the main characters first meet online while playing a game, and then meet in real life and at work (several years later in the case of My Dearest Nemesis tho).
- In both dramas, the FL resents the ML and has a strong character
- Both dramas are light romantic comedies

Foreign male lead & Japanese female lead. Intercountry romance drama/movie is 1 of my favorite genre. This time with Thailand I can't wait to watch it ASAP. Scent is Chinese movie with Chinese FL & Korean ML.

Both Female lead are trying to get revenge. Not the typical Chinese fl revenge stories. This ones actually make sense.

The female lead was the victim of high school bully. The male lead tried to protect her. There were romance. She grew up determine to protect the weak one and stop the bully. Bittersweet slice of life

Both female lead were victim of harsh bully in school. The male lead didn’t help. Grew up success, and now revenge started.

In both dramas female leads are stubborn, hardworking and persistent.
Gender dynamics and chemistry between leads is similar.
The comedic aspect also falls into the same category.

Badass spy teaming up with a police officer. In this case it's between North and South Korea rather than China and South Korea.

Settings, characters and plot all are very different, but the general tone of both shows, combining crazy humor, super fun stunts, and an engaging cast with great chemistry make both similar experiences. The FL is played by the same actress in both shows too. If you are looking for light hearted action thrillers that don't take themselves seriously and have an engaging plot with little to no romance, there's few dramas that are better than these two imo

mature romance
female lead with some health issues
both male leads play hard to get but they actually love the female lead more
first love

Both have same scenarios like school bullying, but someone like dokgo came to eliminate the bullies. The exceptional fighting skills also are notable, like a valiant or heroic characteristic of the lead.
