They both start with the same basic premise: the girl uses a photo of a random guy who ends up being a fellow classmate at her school. The boy then finds out and gets upset (although in WGABP I wouldn't necessarily Kento's character got upset) and so the girl does errands for him. The rest of the story in Best Mistake isn't very similar to WGABP, however, they both begin with the same premise.
Both of these dramas revolve around a girl who lies about having a boyfriend. She takes a photo of a random boy and shows it to everyone, saying that he's her boyfriend. Unbeknownst to her, the boy in the picture goes to the same school as her and isn't the kind type.
I've not watched Best Mistake but having seen the trailer I can say that Be My Boyfriend is far superior - not only because CLC does one of the OST's for it (which is brilliant) but the cast is great and the 9 minute run time keeps you wanting more. In fact, that's it's negative too as I'd love it to be a full drama.
It's a guilty pleasure - I've rewatched the series each week waiting for the next episode. Lee Si Woo (Bingbing in Sisyphus) is the star of the show!

Both are short, fluffy rom-coms set in high school.
- FL is shy, not well-known in her class until she gets approached by the ML
- ML has a facade he's presenting to the world but is different inside
- love triangle where both ML and SML fall first for the FL
- pretend relationship (fake dating in BM, fake confession in SSC101)

Both are mini-series that take place in high school and follow a low-key FL who is more an avenue to explore the ML and SML's characters than a strong character in her own right.
+ love triangle, both ML and SML fall first
+ both ML and SML help/protect the FL in various situations
+ intense rivalry between MLs; one is known as a troublemaker while the other is more reserved and laid back
Orange Soda has a more serious tone while Best Mistake stays light and surface-level.

Both are sweet, low-angst high school rom-coms. Both feature a sweet, kind FL and an awkward but well-known handsome ML. In both cases ML falls first.
Meeting You is longer and has a more active FL with a stronger personality. Meanwhile the ML is more quiet and reserved. Smart ML and dumb but socially adept FL.
Best Mistake has a stronger ML who is known as a troublemaker but is actually just misunderstood. The FL is more passive and generic. Booksmart FL and street-smart ML.
