Both Dramas have the same dark vibe and start with someone drowning under similar circumstances. In both cases the female lead has a connection with the deceased person and the male lead with the "killer".

I honestly i prefer the anime version of anohana but this works too.

The story between these 2 are quite similar from:

-dead friend (main character)
-a friend that could have been more misses said mc
-family and friends that drifted apart after death of mc
-supernatural in a way

Both are heartwarming and tragic at the same time.

I haven't finished watching all the episodes yet but its giving me similar vibes to a liar and a broken girl, only difference is that this movie has a somewhat happier delusion.

Both have kidnappings and somewhat abuse/trauma as well as the 2 main leads falling in love with each other.

Both have 2 main characters wanting to find their own version of happiness even if it means lying to themselves just to maintain it.

Both the female leads came from a dark/abused childhood in a way, sachi was abused by her parents while ma-chan was kid napped and traumatized at young age.

Both of the girls' live in a world where they think happiness doesn't exist for them until they meet the one person (male leads) that share or show that they deserve it even if it means lying.

Both the male leads (onii-chan and mii-kun ) are willing to go to such lengths to make the female lead happy. Whether it be lying or hiding from the police.

I just hope the ending to this is somewhat similar to a liar and a broken girl.

I really hope they find their happy end in a way.

Both are about adventures of Sun Wukong, are adaptations of Journey to the west, has stunning SFX.........................................

Both are based on classic Chinese mythology, has stunning SFX......................................... Both movies are about an Imperial exorcist (Jet Li), exercising a female demon.

- both shows share the similar plot element of being able to alter reality for the desired results the characters want + unexpected plot twists
- both have lee jongsuk as the main lead! both of his characters are also pure and want the best for everyone uwu

Both main lead females live completely without social ties than meets a man. Not for the same reasons, one is because of socialphobia and the other is because she "wants" to live alone.

Pinocchio and Healer were similar and I constantly found myself being reminded of how one made me feel similar emotions/made similar connections while watching them. Pinocchio is a heavier drama than Healer (and much more tragic), but both are up the same alley in plot.
-Something tragic happened in both MC's pasts/childhoods that has impacted their present adult lives.
-A mystery shrouds their pasts and through the drama we figure out the whole story
-The relationship between the MC's are similar
Happy watching! :)

I personally enjoyed To The Beautiful You more, buttttt the gender-bender is present in both dramas. Settings are different, but the atmospheres are very similar. Both dramas also have comedy and romance surrounding said gender-bender. Both main female MC's behave similarly.

The plots aren't incredibly similar aside from the "seeing ghosts" parts, but the tones were similar (as well as the creepiness factor haha).
I liked The Master's Sun better, but if you're in a real craving for "people who can see ghosts" kind of stories, I would recommend Oh My Ghostess.
Both dramas solve mysteries through the help of their ghost seeing abilities and they both have happy endings.

-They are both extremely funny, but not overly funny.
-The main female protagonists are both kindhearted and sweet individuals, but not over the top --- both are super likable and neither frustrate the viewer
-ALL the loose ends are wrapped up in satisfactory ways
-Neither drama is overly heavy in tone
While the plots *are* different, I find these dramas similar because of the overall atmosphere, tone, morals, and feelings both dramas elicit.

Both are about two dark doctor rivals, one healer, one killer. Both are based on famous manga......................

Both are about two dark characters with superpowers, battling, trying to kill each other.............
