Both lead couples have a fated and magical past connection, in which the ML was saved, magically tethered to in some way, and dependent upon the FL in some way he's lacking since then (hearing vs. existing/people remembering him.

Gender swapped but very similar story for the most part- rich main character loses memory in an accident and starts to live with other main character while they recuperate (creating messes and causing trouble while doing so). Male leads are both harbouring secrets from the female leads, romcom atmosphere, etc..
If you're into stories where ex-lovers meet again after years apart, both *What Comes After Love* and *Our Beloved Summer* will be right up your alley. *What Comes After Love* leans more into the romantic and mellow side, with deep emotional flashbacks and a sense of longing and regret. On the other hand, *Our Beloved Summer* brings in similar vibes but adds a fresh layer of humor, making it a bit more lighthearted. It perfectly balances the nostalgia of past love with moments that’ll make you smile. If you’re in the mood for something emotional yet fun, give *Our Beloved Summer* a try!
Both gripping psychological thrillers that delve into the darker aspects of human nature, focusing on protagonists struggling with accusations of serious crimes. In *Black Out*, Go Jung-Woo is a high school student wrongly accused of murder, while in *Flower of Evil*, Baek Hee-sung hides a chilling past that links him to brutal crimes. Both shows center on the themes of false accusation, societal judgment, and the internal conflict of characters who wrestle with their perceived guilt or innocence.
The protagonists in both dramas are complex and morally ambiguous. Jung-Woo's descent into a darker side after society turns on him mirrors Baek Hee-sung's internal battle to maintain his facade and protect his family from his hidden past. Additionally, the suspenseful pacing and frequent plot twists in both series keep viewers on edge, constantly questioning the characters' true motives and the mysteries surrounding the crimes. These shows create a similar emotional tension, blurring the line between victim and villain while exploring redemption and truth.
In short, both *Black Out* and *Flower of Evil* use their protagonists' internal struggles and mystery-filled narratives to keep audiences deeply engaged, offering a captivating mix of psychological drama and moral ambiguity.

Overall there are 4 similar dramas (with the concept of “wild dog” ML and smart FL). I’ve listed all 4 below.
It’s definitely worth watching at least 3 out of 4. Only 2 of them have the exact same plot, the other 3 are different enough to make them all interesting.
My personal ranking of the 4 similar dramas:
1. Xing Gan Chong (Very well done plot, actors are excellent! It’s a bit less dark and violent as the others)
2. Lost in the Midnight (great ML!!! He embodied the “wild dog” very well imo. The storyline was also nice to watch)
3. You you lu ming (my 3rd place because the ending was a hilarious mess that wasn't very well thought out)
4. Cuo Liao (Feels like the rough version. It's exactly the same plot as Lost in Midnight, but the acting is flat and lacks emotional depth. The production style also seems to be the most basic)

It has the same "coming of age" context with a sprinkle or romance. If you're more focused on good storytelling, this might be a good recommendation for you!
Telling a story about found family. About brothers and sister that not related by blood.
Both are melodrama, will make you emotional. But healing at the end.
Youth story reminds me to early part of Go Ahead. It's also has slight romance.

A series where
- someone gives them (bad people) the same suffering they did from their victims
- they die after they receive the punishment
- the soul of the bad people receiving the punishment are going to hell
the differences are:
- In "Judge From Hell", a judge will convict you if you're good to go to hell.
while
- In "Jigoku Shoujo" there's a hotline/website called 'Hell Link' that you need to reach out to at 12mn, you need to type the name of the person who did you wrong and Ai will let you know if she accepts or rejects the human's revenge. The human will form a covenant with Ai (Hell Girl) by untying the scarlet thread from the straw doll's neck. There's also a consequence for humans who form a covenant with Hell Girl.
