Itaewon Class (2020)

I mean beside the plot, the actors got the same haircut lol. I find it similar to each other as rival is same in age and more powerful than the protagonist.

I believe it's similar because in both the dramas, people from different backgrounds come together to find happiness.

Never giving up.
You will see in this both dramas. That the characters do they best to learn and get motivated and reach they dream.
Navillera and Itaewon Class will say to believe in yourself

Similar in these aspects:

- Businesswomen/men in the modern world
- Characters once bound by family or past relationships
- Fulfilling dreams
- Motivational lessons and stories
- Individuals making it big in business
- Well written characters
- Hint of romance

This made me remember a lot of "Itaewon Class" , although it´s not a BL the stories are kinda similar and they want to show us a lot of things that still happen in our world...
-Rich vs Poor
-Social Classes
-Bullying
-The desire to be above everyone
-People who are obcessed with the power
The main thing here is the money and power, if you like this kind of stories you will like this one too :)

Both dramas show the struggles of a start up company relating to food. Both dramas are from the perspective of the male lead. The drama contrast in that kkondae intern has a second older ml who is something of a father figure to the primary male lead.

both male leads were really similar in characteristics and their drive to success. both worked hard from the bottom trying to achieve their dreams, and in some ways both did want revenge xD

Itaewon class shares a few similarities with Cheer Up. Both have…
-love story
-love triangle
-social class difference
-passionate leads
-friend group
-inspiring story
-character development
-hardworking young adults

MAYBE CONTAINS SPOILER

in both of them, there is a bad chairman who ruins others life by bribing police, prosecuter or teacher
also the main character suffers from injustice
and the main character tries to destroy bad chairman.
romatism is less than itaewon class but good.

The similarity between these two drama are both of them very inspiring and warm hearted! Both of drama also have taught me about reality of life, did not easily give up and motivate me to move forward even though our life is hard.

The main character interaction also kinda gave a similar vibe where the male and female lead try to understand and heal each other. And the main character also has a huge age gap but it doesn't matter as their relationship will naturally develop :)

If u guys love Itaewon Class, u will definitely love My mister :)

they are both based on the same webtoon. Roppongi class is just the Japanese version of it. A similar story just adapted for the culture of each country.

--both dramas have the main character seeking revenge on an injustice that they faced.
--at the end of the dramas, they both realized that there's more to it than just revenge and that it wasn't as satisfying as they thought that it would be.
--both main characters faced several hardships and adversities before they could become successful and establish themselves

MAYBE CONTAINS SPILER

main lead has a tragic past
in both of them, there is a bad chairman who ruins others life by bribing police, prosecutor or teacher
also the main character suffers from injustice
there are a lot of romantic scene

Both male leads are going for revenge, because of betrayal. They have this kinda mean personality but a soft spot for the people they hold dear. By their side is this one hard working and smart female lead who will do anything for the male lead out of love no matter how deep the trouble gets. Female lead is the only one who sees male lead for who he really is which is actually a person with a very serious trauma and a feelings that has been hidden deep inside male leads heart. They both creates a connection which leads to success.
