Both are dramas which have the ML centered on revenge. Both MLs become rebels against the King. Both constantly get separated from their love interests, but make their way back together in the end.

The female and male lead from Weightlifting Fairy both appear as supporting roles in Cheese in the Trap so if you love this actor and actress make sure to watch. I think that Lee Sung Kyung does a great job acting in both roles and it after having seen her in Cheese in the Trap and then seeing her in Weightlifting Fairy I think she is a top rate actress and I really loved her roles. She was over the top crazy in Cheese in the Trap as In Ha and she is a spunky strong girl as a female lead. Both have great story lines with strong female leads for some girl power and attractive hot male leads.

If you loved Strong Woman Do Bong Soon I would recommend Weightlifting Fairy Kim Bok Joo as they both feature spunky and actually physically strong girls who both get into a lot of troublesome situations with great comedy ensuing from that. Both girls are also strong female leads in that they are take charge kind of gals and both want to be seen as girls and not just for their physical strength . The romances in both shows develop slowly and they are great rom coms and very fun to watch.

Both are back to School dramas!They take you back in their past lives when they were in school and tells you stories about love and life.

As I was watching MG2018, the strong friendship of the 4 guys (F4) strongly reminded me of the similarities it had with the men of AGD. I felt like, the young versions of the men in AGD are the F4. Like, when they grow old (the F4), they will still be cool, handsome and hilarious as the 4 men in AGD.
Like with F4, they will still be the strong, solid 4 guys. Who will do anything and everything to support each other. Will still have adventures with women and protect each other through good and naughty times (I am referring to you, the married man in AGD, hahaha).
I also feel that the F4 guys will look like the men of AGD when they "grow up". Still cool, handsome, gentlemen and perfect in every way.

Although they have different plots and stories, both dramas give the same dark vibes and deal with dark secrets.

Both dramas are school/youth based setting with the male lead being rather stern/rude at times. The female leads are both strong (physically and mentally). And they both have some pretty outlandish events that occur with an overall lighthearted feeling mixed with some serious and heartwarming realities.
