Recommendations

I know one is a drama and the other is a reality dating show, but I'm mainly recommending because they both give that warm feeling of familial love.

Reply 1988 is a story of 4 families and their struggles/joys, with romance weaving in between. My Sibling's Romance is a dating show where 4 sets of siblings live together and go on dates with others without revealing who their sibling is.

Reply 1988 gave me a feeling of warmth that I have rarely felt while watching something. But My Sibling's Romance made me feel that same way, through the bond each sibling duo has. The dynamics differ but they are all equally precious. It's nice seeing the siblings root for each other and look out for each other in a setting where they don't know anyone else but each other. The backstories of each family will either leave you sobbing or with a massive grin.

Truly the best way I can describe it is that both are about family and love, and give you this big warm hug as you watch.

Both leads suffer from a debilitating disease that eventually causes paralysis. In Angels Fall Sometimes, the lead is male and is diagnosed with ALS. In 1 Litre no Namida, the lead is female and has spinocerebellar degeneration. Both however, try their best to remain optimistic despite their prognosis and knowing their lives will not be what they had anticipated.

AJTL has group of military brothers on a mission. They deal with a lot of dangerous situations, political intrigue and there is enough romantic plots to fill you up. This is slightly different as the brothers are not always together, but you see how they are guided by the common goal. Romantic stuff is in EB too, but I am on ep 19 so will have to see the end.
Liu Yu Ning plays in both, and the masculine is nicely balanced with the female subplots. 3 brothers, 3 women...

if you want to see more of the main lead actor, Yang Xu Wen , check out Love in Time . I know he played as guest in other dramas, but Eternal Brotherhood is the best I had seen him in and Love in Time is the second imo.

This follows the story of illustrator Okusawa Ritsu and salesman Ikegami Fumiya. They met at an old coffee shop and eventually fell in love and lived happily together. However, a misunderstanding gradually arises between Ritsu, who lives freely, and Fumiya, who is swayed by it. After a fight one winter day, Ritsu leaves the house and is involved in an accident, and loses consciousness. Upon awakening, Ritsu had lost only the memory of Fumiya. Wanting to start their relationship over from scratch, Fumiya hides the fact that he was dating Ritsu and resumes their joint life. However, Ritsu asks him to take him to a familiar place in order to regain his memory. Fumiya is reluctant, but the two of them start a "journey" to follow the trajectory of their relationship. The coffee shop where they met for the first time, the riverside road they always strolled, the places they both traveled to before dating... Sweet memories and bittersweet memories, the time they spend together haunts Fumiya's mind. Ritsu, on the other hand, finds himself gradually becomes attracted to Fumiya again while having amnesia.

"I-LAND 2" is the continuation of one of the most iconic and traumatizing K-Pop survival shows, "I-LAND", through which we got Enhypen.

The key difference is, however, that this new season will give us a new GIRL group! Let's look forward to it and wish success to all the participants!

Like Sea Of Hope, this show was recorded during the pandemic, the cast prepares food & various musical acts for the guests, giving them an opportunity to escape their daily lives for a moment.

Honeymoon Tavern's main focus is newlywed couples who got married amidst the difficulties of COVID-19. The purpose of the show is to create a night for the couples that they will never forget.

Similar yet different dramas but it does revolves# around the chaebol family and their lives. However in Queen of Tears, the lead are already married. When watching Queen of Tears' family dinner part in the show, it just reminds me of graceful family.

Story wise these series aren't that similar. But both these series have aspects of timetravel and supernatural elements. Also the soulmates/meant to be lovers trope is very prominent in both series. I absolute love both of these series dearly and I'd highly recommend them.
