A famous, talented, and well-loved writer enrolls in the academy in his own right and without taking the entrance exam. Unexpectedly, this good-looking, gifted young man turns out to be a girl, and many men eventually fall for her.
Both shows are about a girl cross-dressing and ending up going to an all male school. She also has several males around her who become friends with her.
SAME: FL is disguised as male to earn money for her family,
setting = prestigious government school for men where FL stays for stipend given and desire to learn
FL is initially hazed/picked on
FL is exceptional achiever among peers with a strong voice for equality across socioeconomic and gender divides
power struggles within school reflect power struggles occurring within country at large
DIFFER:
country of origin: SS = Korean, CAA = Chinese
overall plot development: SS - fairly unified and coherent
CAA - weaker reflection of plot with numerous inconsistencies: particularly FL life depends on disguise as male yet
FL shrieks whenever she sees shirtless men
FL keeps flowered coin purse even after being told it reveals that she is a woman

similarities
- Both take place in an institute setting
- A girl is interacting with a boy group of 4
- Falls in love with the one she hates the most
- In the beginning hate the group except one guy (that one guy in both dramas are sensible and reserved)
- The ML starts mentally acting mature ones they fall in love with the FL
Differences
- MG is modern while CAA is historical
- In CAA the FL is disguised as a boy
- In MG the group of 4 bully everyone but in CAA the group only bullies the FL
- In MG one of them is a play boy but in CAA one of them is love sick
- In MG one of them is a sportsman while in CAA one them is good in martial arts
They both give off the same vibe overall but I think CAA had a bit more to its story than MG.
Basically all the dramas about BOYS OVER FLOWERS give off a similar vibe to CAA.
