Another drama focusing on good food and sharing it with someone you like / love. OFC has an older ML/ younger ML dynamic, while SDL has them a bit more closer in age.

Also has a live-in/personal cook type of story. Good fit between the leads, too.

PP has a professional (IT) ML, SDL has another professional (police officer) ML.

Both are mini dramas in which the ML is undercover in a gang and the FL inadvertently becomes caught up with the gang, under the ML's protection. There is a SFL who is part of the gang and tries to seduce the ML.

Both MLs are undercover in a gang and the FLs are kidnapped by the gang. The ML protects them.

- both are built around a terrorist attack
- political, action-packed thriller
- overall, i got pretty similar feelings and vibes while watching this. both are 10/10 in my books, especially if you enjoy genres like these
- one of the actors (lee moosaeng) also played a major part in both series. if you like him, that's a plus

FBF is slow paced, healing, and comforting

Both MPS and ATCY are Korean dramas with romance, time travel, and mystery. Both attempt to alter the past. Both use a “device” to travel to the past. In ATCY, it’s a mixtape and in MPS, it’s a car. However, in MPS, the characters travel as their current selves, and in ATCY, the characters travel into an alternative version of themselves in the past. Overall, ACY is much more convoluted.

Both have unexplainable phenomenon/plot mystery. Both have a sort of time travel. Both are trying to prevent a catastrophe. However, Alice is more future based than in the past. Alice has a ML and FL, but the main character is the ML. Lastly, ATCY is much more romance heavy whereas Alice has sense of romance but overall is not a romance between the ML and FL.

Both have similar themes of parallel character shown as “trapped” inside the body when the other character takes over. Both explore an alternative world/time travel. However HOG, the female lead goes to multiple timelines and versions of herself whereas ATCY, the female lead goes back to the same timeline. Also, in HOG, the female lead travels with a male lead and they experience it together. Both also attempt to change the course of events and both have romance although HOG it’s more secondary. HOG it’s also a Chinese drama whereas ATCY is a Korean drama.

Derailment and ATCY have heavy tones with romance, thriller, mystery, and fantasy elements. Both explore time travel and alternate worlds. However, Derailment is a Chinese drama and explores memory loss and altering more than ATCY.

If you want a really great revenge story for a second chance life, check out Rise from the Ashes!!! It has a clever plot much better than The Double, and while a miniseries of 10-minute episodes it is done in a superb way with brilliant script, really good characters as written and acted and the heroine there is a thorough kick ass!

DON'T ASK JUST TRUST ME

SYNOPSIS: It started off peculiarly; first, his domestic cat refused to let him cuddle it. Lin Qiushi soon found that a sense of disharmony and incongruity began to pervade everything around him. Then, one odd day, he pushed open a door, and he discovered that the hallway he was familiar with turned into a boundless corridor. At both ends of this corridor were twelve, identical iron gates. Thus, the story began.

Both the dramas showcase romance between senpai and kohai (senior and junior) in a college setting. The kohai are from country-side who initially have insecurities about living in a metropolitan city during college. They join the club of the senpai they admire. The senpai are kind guys with a painful past.
