This magnificent korean drama is the second parent story of this adaptation. You can really feel the emotion in the korean one so I recommend it

Both are romantic medical dramas dealing with comforting people in pain and during the end stages of their lives. In both dramas, the male and female leads have experienced life-altering tragic events, which they feel guilt-ridden about. Both male leads have a nemesis who is hell-bent on destroying them do to misplaced anger and beliefs.

Ka Badin, which takes place in the era of King Nang Klao, the third reign (after King Rama II). The story sets around the period when England (known as Wilat at the time) enters into a commercial partnership role with Thailand, and this historical fact plays as a backbone to the plot of this drama.
Because Haym is a good looking, well-mannered and bright boy, he is known as “Phor Haym Roop Thong” meaning “Phor Haym the Golden”. He has a knack for English and sneaks around to further his skills with an English teacher, however once his father finds out (he who doesn't trust foreigners) decides to send his son to study at the monastery. There, Haym picks up sword wielding skills. Unfortunately, accused of killing an Englishman, he is relegated to being an elephant keeper. He then masters the science of ailing elephants and becomes quite the vet and elephant keeper. Therein he meets Lamduan who is the leading actress of a dance play in Amphawa. He had already met her when they were younger, and this propels them to fall in love. However due to their status differences, as well as interference from another man who wants Lamduan for himself, Haym pursues the military forces so that he can improve his status. With his brilliance and capability, Haym climbs the military rung (so to speak) and also becomes the national pride and bravery of Badin

Both have a main lead who suffered from someone who is in a high position. Both male leads are very similar to their character. Both wish to get revenge and both make it by planing a very long time.
Generally both drama have a pretty similar story, however the biggest difference is the morales the main leads have.

While they handle lgbt issues differently (close knit adresses lgbt issues while in how to win at checkers nobody seems to have a problem with lgbt+) they include lgbt characters.
Both movies focus on an 11 year old kid (the child actors did an amazing job!) and both are incredibly heart breaking

To me they had a similar feel and atmosphere. The two movies are very different in terms of subject matter and story in general (also how to win at checkers doesnt include straight up homophobic characters). They crush you, both are dramatic bur have some nice moments sprinkled in between.

•both of them have kpop boy-bands
•both of them have supernatural side to them
•both have sweet and light-hearted vibe to them
•both are web dramas
•they are quite similar in different ways. Don't know how to explain it, but I promise you if you like one, you will like the other just as much!

Both have the same trope. The vibes of the dramas are different, but the background of the characters is similar in both stories.

While Angel's Last Mission: Love has less fantasy elements than A Korean Odyssey, it does have a very similar atmosphere. Both have many romantic elements and in some ways a similar romantic plot.

Both dramas have the same trope and a similar vibe. One feels a bit more 'adult' than the other, but I don't think that it's a noticeable difference. Overall, both are great dramas with great characters.

Similar directing style and message, although the main characters in Alive are more 3-dimensional. Both also contain great educational materials, which make them more relevant than many medical-themed doramas out there.

I rich dilusional jerk thinks no girl can reject him and he does what he wants with his money power. From extravagant parties to bullying the female lead.
Slowly the male lead while constently being rejected by female lead, falls for her and tries to get her.

in both, there is a nice man who cherish his friends. also they start a business by opening an office/pub and fight against a powerfull company.

Both dramas are kind of about time-travel, and changing the past in order for the future to change. Both male leads have extreme patience, love and dedication to the female lead for a long period of time.

In both series the female lead finds out that she is sick and ends up in a relationship with a total stranger.
