The ML saves our FL all the time. Its a merry chase on both parts.

My Forever Sunshine is more darker to the plot.

Both Lakhorns also has the romantic comedy vibes!

Both ML are ruthless and hot-tempered,especially when it comes to our mischivious Female leads.

Both dramas take in agriculture and the beauty of nature.

Both True Beauty and Namib explore how harsh Korean idol industry is. Idol industry in True Beauty is a side story but overall affects the characterization of both male leads. However, idol industry in Namib the center of the whole drama.

We need Han Seojun and Yoo Jinwoo (I mean Goo Jasung and Hong Siwoo, both are from 18 again kdrama) to have a collaboration please

5 characters who are near the end of their college lives form a friendship. Realizing that life has issues and sometimes the support you need can come from this group is a common factor between the shows. Side characters get plot and development. There is also romance. Main characters are well acted as well.

Tho it might have some similarities in the plot, those 2 dramas have generally different messages..
But I'm recommending WMLB solely because the melancholic ost reminds me of TTOR's

The King of Tears, Yi Bang-won sheds new light on leader Yi Bang-won, who took the initiative to establish the Empire of Joseon during the end of the Goryeo Dynasty and early Joseon Dynasty when the ancient order of Goryeo was destroyed and the new order of Joseon was created.

From Wikipedia

Idol Shikkaku and Dakara Watashi wa Oshimashita? are both focused on understanding human nature through the somewhat messed up setting of the Japanese idol industry. While IS is less polished than DWO, I think IS is still worth the watch. To me, one can tell that IS has thoughtfulness behind it, that a person knowledgeable about idols poured love into the characters of the story they had made. And if you haven't watched DWO, you really should.

The dramas follow some of the same historical events that surround the succession of the Tang Dynasty from Emperor Taizong (Li Shi Min), Wu Zetian's first husband, to Emperor Gaozong (Li Zhi), Wu Zetian's second husband.
