A comfort drama for me that is filled with lovable and memorable characters and a well written story.

As a young girl, Hye Jin was impossibly cute and lived a comfortable life with her wealthy parents. Since entering her teens, both her looks and fortunes have drastically changed. She currently lives rent-free with a friend and is a part-time clerk at a convenience store. Out-of-the-blue, Sung Joon, her childhood friend, contacts her and suggests they meet. He is unaware that Hye Jin recently spotted him and knows how fit and handsome he had become. Not wanting to disappoint him, she insists her pretty best friend go in her place. What could go wrong?
After landing a full-time job, Hye Jin is surprised to find out that Sung Joon is her boss. To add insult to injury, he is treating her with nothing but disdain and contempt. This is not the friend she fondly remembers, so she goes about hiding her true identity from him.

Although the theme and setting contrasts between the two dramas, they have similarities in terms of rivalries in the industry.

I watched My Love Eun Dong after I watched She was pretty. It gave me the same goosebumps as She Was Pretty gave me... My Love Eun Dong is really great, but soooo underrated! You should give both a go and you will fall in love with it instantly!

Similar story plot. The ML try to help her to build self confident for the FL until she was success. It is a cute & light love story. A must watch drama.

Both female leads go through appearance changes - although in a little thing called first love the female lead started quiet and not so pretty over time she got prettier and more outspoken and determined because her crush is handsome and smart she felt she had to improve to stand with him. It's a great story of growing up and going after your dreams while becoming a better person in the process :)

Both of them have a funny Sequence and they are both comedy a ugly girl and a pretty one fall in love with the same person. and the main couple in the first are in the contention.

They are both office romance dramas.

Leads do have some kind of a connection from the past in both dramas (even tho it's a different type of connection... hm... no spoilers~)

Both are light hearted and cute~

Female lead is that kind of cheerful, cute, a little annoying girl (I didn't like the female lead in Introverted boss but i liked the one in She was pretty)

The male leads... Well, they aren't really similar in any way i think but they still remind me of each other idk why XD

Although completely different shows with different age ranges (college vs adult romance), both kdramas are relatively uncommon for showing healthy relationships; neither relies on push-and-pull tropes in the second half to keep the main couple apart. Both couples lean on each other in order to get through their individual issues without any major communication issues. Both are very heartwarming shows.

Both are romantic kdramas in which the main couple work together. Both are relatively uncommon for showing healthy relationships; neither relies on push-and-pull tropes in the second half to keep the main couple apart once they get together. Both couples lean on each other in order to get through their individual issues without any major communication issues. Both are very heartwarming shows.

Both of the female lead characters do look good and beautiful but at the same time, they are similarly looking like that. If you both watch cdrama and kdramas, you will be reminded by the two dramas by watching one.

>> mistake identity
>> FL is also quite extraordinary and pays no attention to appearance
>> cosy vibes
>> workspace

Both are written by the same writer with similar genre of romantic comedy. Both have Shin Hye Sun in it which show how amazingly far she's come from being a support character in one show and the main lead in the other. Also it shows her range as both characters could not be more different. Both male leads have PTSD that often interfere with their lives and the love of someone from their childhood who they didn't recognize initially brings them both out of their hard shells to help them return to who they were when they were younger. Both shows have great moments of Womance though in 30b17 the women are not love rivals. Both have a lot of humor and heart.
