Phoenix (2004)

Phoenix includes love scenarios moments that both main leads & second leads are included in (eg : FL loves ML but have conflicts & nearly create & fall for second leads.) The second leads also have something they hide about their occupation eg & background. & the second male lead is willing to get the female lead even in their bad condition

No wonder they have many similarities in the story
they have the same screenwriter
Both are very enjoyable
Bad Love is on the light side, while Phoenix is on the heavier side

Phoenix is the original story that Phoenix 2020 is based on. A lot of the characters have been kept from the original story, and its main themes are the same, therefore you can watch and compare the similarities and differences of these two dramas.

Both series have somehow sad stories,about four people in love.Both have a lead girl that is in a bad situation and two powerful men love her.

While I was watching these is felt that it was pretty similar both ml and leads love each other but life plus the second leads push them further apart

These are pretty similar because of the second female lead tieing down the male and the ml kinda give the same gloomy vibe

Some similarities basely involved "theres always a time for everything" , background difficulties, some toxic and obsessive second leads syndrome, and mainly meeting at the wrong time but making up for it later on (character development).

The female in Phoenix does outrageous things, another good romance/ revenge story.
