If you like dramas with a no-nonsense female lead, strong, brave and independent, you have found the right ones here! They both feature a classic rich man/poor woman story albeit with a twist: the FL is not a damsel in distress, a white lotus, a doormat! They are so fun to watch here! And of course, the ML melts and become human after meeting this strong woman!
Main similarities:
- Both Boss & Me (2014) and 1% of Something (2016) feature a kind-hearted FL who selflessly saves a life of the ML's family member which subsequently entangles her with the ML. Both MLs are CEOs of large companies, while both FLs come from economically average backgrounds. In both dramas, the ML's rich family is surprisingly mostly supportive of his relationship with the FL. Both MLs have a younger sister.
- Both dramas feel a bit "old school" because they both use many cliché tropes and themes.
- Despite that, both are very feel-good dramas with minimal conflicts, low angst level, amazing chemistry between the leads and many fluffy moments.
Main differences:
- Boss & Me (2014) is more than twice as long drama as 1% of Something (2016) and it can feel a little draggy.
- Boss & Me (2014) is very centered on the character and development of the FL who begins as an inexperienced and insecure girl; meanwhile the FL in 1% of Something (2016) is confident and outspoken from the start.
- The ML in the Boss & Me (2014) stays mostly the same throughout the show. On the other hand, 1% of Something (2016) shows more development for the ML.
