similar bromance story with great chemistry between the two male leads
also both in republican era<<<<

In some way Fish Upon the Sky remembered me to 2moons.

In 2moons, a nerd male lead who has had a long time crush and, when he starts university, changes his looks (removing the glasses basically) trying that his crush loved him back. The point is the main lead always had someone who likes him without him knowing that.

In Fish Upon the Sky, the plot goes pretty similar. But I think it will be retracted differently. Also, Fish is superior in terms of production and cinematography.

Both horror stories that feature shamanistic rites and supernatural beliefs. One is to cast out a demon from a human body while the other is to prevent (the death of) an unmarried guy from becoming a vengeful ghost.

Both are two different stories..but they are both romantic comedies that explore different topics.

In both cases both couples face obstacles to their love.

Both lakhorns has a hilarious supporting cast and both male leads are handsome,charming and funny.

Both the drama's:
-FLs both are talented in embroidery
-both males love the FL to the bottom of their hear
-both males go against their family's wishes to marry the FL
-Hong Yao has acted in both of them

The dramas are similar in the following ways:
- both dramas emphasize on embroidery and military
-both MLs are smart and the FL helps the ML's career
-Stories both are beautiful and the directing was done perfectly
-both dramas have beautiful ost's

Both dramas contain a "fake siblings" storyline with the main leads that eventually turn into love.

Rugal and Taxi Driver are similar, and they have the same kind of atmosphere. Also, in both there are similar cases in the ML.

Kdrama. Friendship duo turn sour but full with ups & down. Character development, u won't guess who's good who's evil.

BL dramas. In both one of the leads (the one who comes from a lower social class than the other) makes a deal with the other lead's father to advance in his career, improve himself and make himself worthy of becoming a part of the family, in order for the father to accept their relationship. Both share complex Dad/Son/Son in law dynamics. The second couple is also similar with a cold guy/clingy guy dynamic.

Thai BL dramas. Both take place in both highschool/college with multiple couples and side characters. One of the leads has a special connection with a 'Frog prince' that is later revealed.

Thai BL dramas. In both, one of the leads has a mysterious chat friend (Guy from faculty nearby/Frog prince) who he confides his day to day life throughout the episodes and that is later revealed with a bit of a plot twist.

C-drama where FL works for the ML who is a CEO. They had a relationship in the past and they reconnect over the course of the episodes and fall back in love. Not as funny as What's Wrong with Secretary Kim.

Pan is met with a unlikely accident suddenly with one of her ship bl couples, Kim. She returns to earth, but not as herself. She returns as Kim.

- The genre is the same (romance);

- In both shows we see the concept of telepathy. In SJNJ, Sun is able to hear other people's thoughts indiscriminately, whilst in VITR Tanthai and Rarin can only hear each other's thoughts;

- Sun and Tanthai are two very similar characters. They consider their power to be more of a curse than something good and listen to music to isolate themselves. This is why people often think they are arrogant, impolite or simply bad people and, in turn, they try to avoid people as much as they can (besides their circle of close ones). In both cases it's love that will change them and make them a better person.
