-Not a fantasy drama however it deals with new characters in every episode and you get to see their bad sides. It focuses on juvenile kids and underaged criminals and their wrongdoings.
FL is extremely strict and badass while she follows the law.
These type of dramas are extremely interesting imo.

Both are 1-episode drama specials.

In both specials the main lead comes into possession of banned book that causes them issues and changes their life drastically.

Modern Girl focuses on a friendship between lady from a noble family and her handmaiden. The story is set during japanese colonial rule.

The Red Teacher focuses on friendship between teacher and his student. The story is set in 1980's

- Mothers whose children go to the same school.
- Prestigious school drama.
- Mothers have secret past drama with each other (e.g. Friend having an affair)
- Focuses on the friendships and betrayals of the mothers.
- A murder/suicide.

Both movies has short stories within. They are heart warming, touching movies. Worth rewatch value. Some part doesn’t make sense but good intention

FLs are both feisty
MLs don't know how to handle the FLs and get flustered
MLs gets jealous easily

Both are a light easy watch

Both shows are comedy shows. That are done terribly. But maybe it's just not my type of humour, idk.
However, if you DID find SCOY funny (are you okay? (i'm just joking lol)), you'll most likely enjoy YYY too. And vice versa.

YYY has slightly more realistic and more developed characters. But it has one major downside. Its terrible way of portraying trans women. I guess it was supposed to be comedic and funny but to me it felt more like whoever wrote these characters was transphobic and was making fun of transgender women. In this aspect SCOY did way better job. There's a really great transgender character in the show and in my opinion she's the best character in this series.

Despite being awful for most of the time, both shows do give us some rather nice scenes showing true, beautiful friendship. There are a few lessons about love too.

Woo Tae Kyung joins the Saebit Boys High School Council with the intentions to make friends, inadvertently meeting his first love.

I finished Legend of the Blue Sea. I watched a bit of Goblin & felt like it was very similar to each other.

Basically it's a person from the modern world, somehow bumps into a person from the past and they are not fully human which they fall in love with the human. Both contains historical backgrounds that affects present characters.

Note: I dropped Goblin though.

Both dramas deal with serious themes, difficult relationships and hard life situations.

Relationships in Left Right are quite dysfunctional and they are more about family.
Relationships in More Than Blue are mostly romantic but still have to deal with a lot of hardship.

Both dramas will completely destroy you and leave you crying with each episode.

They are similar in themes but More Than Blue is more gentle/poetic/almost lyrical while Left Right is very harsh/realistic/dark.

both female leads have only a certain amount of time to live and they are told that by a celestial being. they end up falling in love and it saves them in more ways than one.

they‘re both off-beat fantasy/magical short school dramas based on popular webtoons.

Although they’re very different in terms of plot, they remind me of each other in the way the story is told and the school setting.
