the main leads are both bodyguards. There is a fun romance. Now the difference is in bodyguard SAO it;s the female lead who is the bodyguard. Where in the Charming Stepmom its the male lead. I liked both of them, Hint: don't analyze for credibility just enjoy it.

both series tackle the topics of finding your true home, being lonely and try to overcome trauma + lovely cinematography, teenagers being stubborn and kind and stubborn, unrequited crush on your long time friend, little towns by the sea, puppy love

Idol Producer is a chinese survival show from Iqiyi.
It's the first chinese of produce 101 and was a big hit at the time.

This one has a lot of trainees that became extremely famous in China due to it.

Produce Camp (also called Chuang) is the chinese version of Mnet's Produce 101 series. More precisely, the 2019 version is the 1st season with boys.

Very similar to BP, same flows, tasks, evaluation, etc.

Also, it's very high budget so the sets are stunning.

A must watch for all survival shows fan.

Produce Camp (also called Chuang) is the chinese version of Mnet's Produce 101 series. More precisely, the 2021 version is the 2nd season with boys.

Very similar to BP but emphasises more on friendship between trainees than competition. Has tons of very interesting side content (english subbed!).

Also, it's very high budget so the sets are stunning.

A must watch for all survival shows fan.

4th Season of Mnet's Produce 101.

Can be considered the previous season of BP.

Boys Planet is way more similar to this one than to Girl Planet 999 (male trainees, no cell system, typical A, B, C, D,F ranking but with stars instead, same tasks).

So if you like Boys Planet, you'll like this one too.

They just changed the logo from a triangle to a circle, the name and the "center" role in "killing part".

Both are historical mini dramas with the same actor and actress as the leads.
