The FIRST thing was the showing of the Joseon Dynasty.
The main characters has punishments, and the female leads are related to the relief of the punishment.

I love the fiery priest so much and no wonder taxi driver was so interesting too! Both are crime thrillers with a squad who takes down bad people ^^!! + they are both sbs shows.

In both shows, the Male Lead is a Grim Reaper tasked with fetching souls. One of these souls they are supposed to fetch is the Female Leads'. But, in trying to accomplish their goal, they end up falling in love with her instead.

DAYS feels way more lighthearted than Black, though. While the former starts with some hilarious comedy at first, halfway through the series the crime element of the show turns the series dark (pun intended).

So the ML suffers with insomnia in both and ask the FL for company.

Main similarities:
- Both Boss & Me (2014) and 1% of Something (2016) feature a kind-hearted FL who selflessly saves a life of the ML's family member which subsequently entangles her with the ML. Both MLs are CEOs of large companies, while both FLs come from economically average backgrounds. In both dramas, the ML's rich family is surprisingly mostly supportive of his relationship with the FL. Both MLs have a younger sister.
- Both dramas feel a bit "old school" because they both use many cliché tropes and themes.
- Despite that, both are very feel-good dramas with minimal conflicts, low angst level, amazing chemistry between the leads and many fluffy moments.

Main differences:
- Boss & Me (2014) is more than twice as long drama as 1% of Something (2016) and it can feel a little draggy.
- Boss & Me (2014) is very centered on the character and development of the FL who begins as an inexperienced and insecure girl; meanwhile the FL in 1% of Something (2016) is confident and outspoken from the start.
- The ML in the Boss & Me (2014) stays mostly the same throughout the show. On the other hand, 1% of Something (2016) shows more development for the ML.

These pieces both have unique, whimsical, and artistically experimental styles that make them stand out from the typical mainstream movie. Each is visually beautiful in some scenes or visually disturbing in others, but they always end up being interesting and charming in their own way. Also, they both metaphorically depict rarely-talked-about, ugly sides of society that bring a deeper meaning to their playful stories. Both are artistic movies that you need to give a try!

In both dramas the main leads start off on the wrong foot, with the male lead getting the wrong impression about the girl and then slowly falling for her despite himself. Also in both dramas, the male leads are newscasters.

The plots to both these dramas is very similar - the little guy sticking it to the corrupt big guys. Plus they're both over-the-top, feel good comedies.

[Recommendation for episode 9, 10 of Y-Destiny]

Both of these dramas are Thai bl romances which show two imperfect characters involved in a friends with benefits relationship, who slowly begin to fall in love with each other.

Both ITSAY (I Told Sunset About You) and MGYG (My Gear and Your Gown) are stories centered around a gay romance which involve the friends to enemies to friends to lovers trope with the characters developing a stronger bond during tutoring sessions.

While ITSAY has a very unconventional and beautiful storyline which deals with the fears of coming out and coming of age, MGYG is not far behind. It deals with topics like HIV, parental problems, dealing with hurdles like the death of a parent and coming of age. Both these dramas also involve a transition from school life to university, in which the characters undergo significant changes. In ITSAY the university life is dealt with in the sequel while MGYG does so in twelve episodes.

This is the Chinese adaptation of the same storyline. I really love this version. Others might argue with me about the merits and downfalls of this version verses others, but isn’t that the beauty of opinions?

They both have a very successful businessman who gets off to a rocky start with a girl. But he likes her work and ends up getting closer to her with their shared love for the talent. They end up falling in love

They are both survival shows from the same company (iQiyi), with similar styles of editing and content. However, there are different trainees and mentors in each season.

For those who liked Lin Yanjun, I found most people also liked Luo Yizhou ;)

In both shows one of the leads gets close to the other for an ulterior motive.

In the case of Undercover, the ML is a secret agent tasked with infiltrated a student movement. So the ML gets close to the FL to get to the leader of the movement.

In Catch the Ghost, the FL joins the ML's team in order to conduct an unofficial investigation involving the disappearance of her twin sister.

In both shows the Male Lead pretends to be someone they are not in order to use the Female Lead. However, they end up falling in love with her and, in so doing, they betray their original mission in favor of keeping her safe.
