The Golden Spoon (2022)

Two main leads: one is poor the other is rich, the poor one is smarter and able to conqueer the position the rich want to reach, but isn't that capable of.

Both have time travel elements with a chance of redemption

Both shows have Jung Chae Yeon in it ... for sure it will be good

Both deal with being poor and getting into a rich family while pretending to be someone else. While parasite has a more psychological approach, they both deal with the heavy tool of being poor in Korea and family life.

The Golden Spoona dn Mystic Pop-up Bar are both great dramas if you enjoy fantasy genre, and/or seeing Yook Sungjae and Choi Wonyeong's performances.

Both stories are based in fantasy and challenge society's taboo topics such as class differences (poverty vs. riches), depression, slumps, etc.

The Golden Spoon is a darker drama where you are able to follow the struggle of the main cast as they navigate their surroundings, and make life-altering decisions that affect themselves and those around them. If you were able to change your life, what price would you be willing to pay?

On the other hand, Mystic Pop-up Bar is still able to tackle heavy topics with a brighter, more hopeful spin. Sometimes there are things that can't be accomplished in real life, yet can be done in the realm of dreams. The cast and supporting casts bring us on a healing journey of tackling fears, overcoming traumas and self-discovery with magic that literally makes dreams come true.

Both Choi Wonyeong and Yook Sungjae are part of the main cast, giving stellar performances in vastly constrasting roles.

- ML tries to change his fate by using a supernatural opportunity that he has to keep secret from his social circle
- items that enable this opportunity have limited uses
- identity swap/time travel introduce new challenges and affect relations with ML's loved ones (family/partners)
- crime/murder mystery elements

Fan of one may likely enjoy the other.

the class difference and rich and poor is highlighted in both shows.....

Shows the disparity and human nature when it comes to having money ( rich ) or there lack of ( poor)
