Smart and Strong FL and ML. Involves rebels, fighting, recovering cities, and returning peace to the world. Similar vibes except FL is a general in WOL and FL is a business owner in Destined. They all grow to become soulmates. All of them want the world to be at peace and they work towards that goal.

Both dramas are about "Start Ups"

Both dramas have this core employees that are part of the start up company.

I just found it out that they seem the same, so I checked it out if they are remakes of one another, it does not seem that way. I read somewhere that Unicorn ni Notte was a remake of the american film "The Intern" though.

But going back to these 2 dramas, they are similar. Unicorn is only a bit funnier I guess.

Both dramas feature smart, hardworking professionals with exceptional chemistry. Even while they are attracted to each other, they continue to pursue excellence in their respective careers.

hokkaido minatocho meguri is a spinoff of sakaba horoki, both hosted by Rui Yoshida, difference is one is in pubs in the Tokyo area, and the other is port towns in Hokkaido with various female costars

Similarities:
Old time family curse
ML and FL connected in past life
Shared workplace
FL initially interested in someone else

They are both set in high school and school fights are involved. The cover photo is also very similiar and it actor that acts in both dramas.

FNOS is lighter, more comedic in tone but mixes in thriller and spooky bits with a vengeful ghost and enemy from the leads' past lives that is after them, trying to kill them and murders several other people too. Past and present are stricter separated here but fate and reincarnation are huge themes here as well in regards of their past lives and "making things right" Vengeful ghost possesses people in order to reach its goal to take revenge on the leads. Is obsessed with FL as well. ML is a good if very tsundere guy there, unlike here tho lol. Slow burn romance, love/hate enemies to lovers tropes. Like here they have to solve issues of the past to be able to move forward.

Both dramas feature male leads involved in the investment industry. The female leads in both series are portrayed as independent, hardworking, and intelligent, making for inspiring and relatable characters. The cast in both dramas delivers powerful performances, bringing the characters and their stories to life.

Similarities: These two dramas are set in a place where justice seems to fail punishing criminals and both leads are taking action to punish these criminals, through unconventional way.

Difference: Vigilante is more like straight up action and hands on violence, and the lead is doing his job undercover, hidden from the society... there seems to be a mystery in public perspective of who is the real Vigilante.

The Devil Judge portrays this concept of "being bad to defeat the evil" through courtroom trials that are aired on TV, while giving the society agency to vote whether defendant is guilty or innocent. The head judge is like a celebrity and a distinguish figure in the drama. It has more a complex storyline of hate to love, past trauma and found family aspect.
