Recommendations

Both are mature dramas, handling the relationships, emotions and conflicts in a very credible way.
You will have a very intelligent main female leader dealing with several defying challenges to the ethic and the normal way of seeing things.
In both series there are not the typical black and white characters. Here everyone is grey, meaning that every person has their virtudes and weaknesses.

Same source material, but here's it's actually not sanitized. Watch if you were disappointed by the drama and still want a Korean adaptation.

I'm sure many people would disagree with this recommendation because the dramas are actually quite different, however, I watched Hit the Top directly after I had finished Sassy Go Go and I have to say that the dramas do compliment each other in various ways. I will try not to spoil the plots too much to either of the dramas.

SIMILARITIES:

• A general light-hearted tone that is easy to follow
• Still some conflict but not to an excessive amount
• The main couples are adorable and have good chemistry
• There isn't too much relationship drama between main couples to where you're slamming your head against a desk
• Lovely side characters with interesting stories too

I'd say that Hit the Top is slightly better than Sassy Go Go even though I greatly enjoyed both, simply because I absolutely adored the chemistry and development of the main couple much more in Hit the Top, as well as the plot and time travel theme.

Both dramas are absolutely fabulous, and I recommend them if you are looking for an easy watch, interesting characters and an absolutely beautiful cast :) x

Both are about teacher-student romance, and while both of them are very cute, My Rainy Days is a bit more serious movie.

They're similar because both of these stories are about younger girl (high-school student) and older guy (teacher/temporary teacher). Both stories are very cute <3 In My Little Bride they're a married couple.

Both are feel-good workplace dramas featuring a rookie who not only learns the ropes but brings change to their team as they find their way and develop relationships. They also give insight into the business ( as only J-dramas can do!) in a fascinating way, and have memorable characters who have meaningful arcs.

Both films show two strangers whose awkward initial encounters bloom into a curative kind of love, with different stories representing the emotional struggle most young adults and grown-ups undergo, 'Love You to the Stars and Back' and 'That Thing Called Tadhana' exhibits that love does cure all.

Both shows are set within the telecommunications industry and explore ethical questions around news delivery. Both have spunky female leads who are passionate about reporting.

Both dramas are about a group of friends and their shenanigans. Both shows are comedy but they also have some serious moments!

Both main girl’s take on different identities. The main girl in both struggle with their new identities.

Both hilarious historical romance dramas with strong lead female characters. If you like one give the other a try.

Both main girls hide secrets from main guy. In Nice witch her identity, and in Secret the fact that she didn’t kill main guy’s girlfriend. Both main guy’s in beginning don’t like main girl.

Both dramas have main girl hiding identity from main guy. In both second lead characters try to get to top. The main girl in both are thought as weak in beginning.

- time travel (modern to historical)
- female lead who is mischievous
- male lead has a high status and falls in love with the female lead

Female leads are spoiled, spend a lot of money on fashion and clubbing in the beginning but their character starts to grow slowly through the dramas. They both deal with difficulties at work and at home.
The male leads are quite rich, and handsome and have been through hard times. They are supportive of female leads.
