Investigation jdramas.
Set in departments that are looked down upon/essentially forgotten by the rest of the police.
— Aren't taken seriously, but are productive nonetheless.
Both focus on a new character joining this environment (FL in K, ML in BSS).
Quirky chaotic and comedic in setting and character.

The story of a father living with his children is reminiscent of the series "What Happens to My Family?" It has different scenarios, such as having two boys and two girls instead of two boys and one girl, and having a girl play the doctor character.

Similar bl undertones b/w male leads
one demon like ml, with burden of his past
one angel like ml who is attached to the demon always
demons holding 'stuff' on their backs, a major plot reveal based on it

completely different setups though

The FL is older, both of them were part of an online gaming group, and their first meeting felt awkward.
The different is My Dearest Nemesis was on office setting

Two dramas about solving mysteries. The important case is the death of a prince. This drama also features a female coroner - and, yes, she also starred in the drama Coroner's Diary.

both have rebirth, both have ML and FL fall in love, both have betrayal as a kickstarter/catalyst.
both done really well.

- Both are historical time travelling K-dramas
- Kang Hana is in both this dramas playing the hated/villain sister/consort character
- Both have tyrant kings tamed by the FL
- Both have happy or sad endings? Watch to know the answer!

Quirky chaotic female leads who annoy cold/rude male leads.
Both feature Ryu Raita in a supporting role.

Keizoku is apparently a parent story to SPEC though I see no direct correlation in story. SPEC leaned into supernatural abilities while Keizoku aimed to disprove and rationalize.

The same permise, if you like My sibling romance you would also like Dearest Dear. Heart-warming chaos!!

The same permise but a korean version!

Feels light at first, but unfolds with surprising depth. Clean story, fun chaos with the siblings!

Both legal dramas.
Both feature a mentor/mentee dynamic between female lead and an older female boss.
Both feature strong and interesting female characters, all different in personality.
Subtle/slight romance.

Both of these Thai GL indie productions center around a wealthier woman/boss lady who decides to rent a friend/girlfriend from a customizable service app. Feelings ultimately evolve from these events, and the conclusion wraps up with a little scheme to ensure a happy ending off the app.

theyre both dramatic thriller makjangs. dear x is the closest drama of 2025 to penthouse.

Both are epic jidaigeki demon movies. Both are very similar..................................................... .

Extraordinary (2025) and Be Yourself (2025) both ride the ‘modern-or-outsider in a historical/fantasy world’ wave — but they give it very different flavors. Extraordinary leans more into politics, strategy and slow-burn power play: the MC pretends to be a wastrel but uses modern knowledge/wits to amass wealth and influence, quietly rising to real power behind the scenes. Meanwhile, Be Yourself opts for fantasy + romance + cultivation tropes: a powerful ancient monster merges into a weak body and suddenly gets romance, power and attention (plus multiple marriage proposals), so it’s more flashy, dramatic and romance-driven.
In short — Extraordinary feels like a cunning, slow-paced palace-drama with secrets and strategy; Be Yourself is more of a wild, supernatural ride full of cultivation-energy, romance, and transformation.
