Both of these have similar themes of a woman in her 30s presented with three men, struggles involving dating a younger man, and anxiety over marriage and getting older.

Very similar stories, both feature smart plots to enact revenge. Greed, corruption, powerful family, manipulation, hidden identity.

Although the stories are completely unrelated both dramas star Lee Seung Gi and Suzy as leads, if you like the pairing you will want to watch both dramas.

Mystic Nine isn't set in a military academy and has some fantasy elements but appearance wise the male leads give off the same vibe except Fo Ye in the Mystic Nine is super smart

- The main couples has a similar dynamic (funny and cute) when they are on screen together
- they are both set in the same time period with the Japanese taking over China
- there are a lot of good looking actors in both shows

Similarities:
Action, friendship, romance and military based training (takes place in a military academy) where the only female in the base is the female protagonist

-Both can have a light rom-com vibe but has those intense serious action moments too
Destined to love you isn't a crossdressing drama but the female lead also takes on a fake identity to become a military school instructor

-just like Arsenal Military Academy it take 2-3 eps to really start liking the cast and getting to know the military crew
-Destined to Love You has a high budget for costume designs so if you love military outfits this drama is for you!

I love both dramas and recommend them both

The Ghosts from both dramas cannot remember their pasts and why they died. They get to know later on in the story and why they could not go to heaven, reincarnate, etc.

Both are rather standard Chinese romantic costume dramas with beautiful costumes, fighting kingdomes, mad love, Mary Sue female lead and male lead called 'great warlord' (though it is not clear why he is great). If you are a shipper you'd like both

Secrets of Three Kingdoms (as the story of the sibling substitution) is actually an alternate history version of the famous classic plot of the Romance of Three Kingdoms . They have many same characters but Secrets consider how history would be different.

It is quite similar to a lawless lawyer because of 2 reasons.
1. it both deals with law, and how powerful people could easily take advantage of it
2. The loved one of the main characters is somehow wrongly accused of a crime they didn't do, which further affects the characters lives.

Min Gue is also inside here.
The only difference is it is not a reality show. As it is virtually dating. His smile is really every thing. So if you miss him, go see his charms there. Although it may not be the same as love me actually.

The storylines seem very similar. Idol star and his assistant form a relationship except in this one the girlfriend is a manger.

School love, separated for years, meet again as grown ups. Loveable side characters and side romances.

Very similar in concept. Both about celebrities caring for young children in an environment meant to enrich the children in order for them to learn and grow.

- Love that spans over the course of years
- Parted ways/broke up to only meet years later
- The two male leads play the role of the CEO of their company

Both stories are about bestfriends staying as bestfriends because they are afraid to lose each other if they were to tell the truth that what they feel for each other is actually love.
