Dreaming of a Freaking Fairytale (2024)

The push pull between the leads reminds me of this drama. Similar work set up where the leads fall in love.
Sense of humor is too good!

It’s similar that it had the same style of humor. Like they are people, they enjoy the same style of humor. Both are funny dramas but DFF is more romance-centered while Gaus is more centered on each office worker and their life in the office.
Gaus also has romance too btw.

Some of the cast is similar
Cold male lead
Wants to work for the male lead
She has a dream that she wants to have
The story line is kinda the same too

- Similar hilarious effects
- Campy, old school, wacky vibe
- Love at first sight for ML
- Rich ML, Poor FL + office romance
- Clearly targeted towards a teenage / young audience

Jae-rim, who dreams of becoming Cinderella, faces a challenging relationship after meeting and falling for Cha-min, the son of a wealthy family who does not believe in love.

- started of hating each other but ended up
lovey-dovey
- head strong female lead that work hard to achieve their dreams
- both have great comedy aspects
- both overall fun to watch

Lovely Runner will be my all time favorite because of the cast and the entire happy haze it created for me.

This drama has just begun and it is already making me laugh like crazy. So, these both rom-com share similar vibes.

Apart from that, one is a fairytale-based romance (Dreaming of a Freaking Fairytale) while the other is time travel based (Lovely Runner).

The leads from "Dreaming of Freaking Fairytale" remind me of the leads from "Wedding Impossible" They are both so awkward yet adorable. However, the leads in Cinderella have better chemistry.

1. Rich Male Leads: The male leads in both are wealthy, successful, pretty self-absorbed individuals. Their wealth, high social status play role here

2. Strong Female Leads: The female leads are portrayed as capable, independent, and strong-willed women. They have their own careers and are not merely defined by their relationships with the male leads.

3. Office Romance: Both revolve around an office romance. The settings often involve the workplace, where much of the interaction between the leads occurs.

4. Humorous Situations

They're by the same creator so overall they have the same humor. Their chemistry is also crazy good. Definitely a drama that will brought laugh and joy!

Both have this magical cinderella fairy tale feel. The guy falks first. There is a dead dad pulling all the strings. The guys in both of these can't stop thinking about the girl after one meeting too.

Both are cute dramas with a third-person narrator who explains what the characters are thinking in a quirky, almost cartoonish way.
Dreaming of a Freaking Fairytale: miniseries, fluffy, romantic, focuses on the main couple with little to no information about side characters
Salon de Nabi: focuses on the main character overcoming social anxiety, romance is a side plot, side characters have their own storylines, tackles serious issues

The dramas are very different, but I'd recommend Salon de Nabi if you liked the narrator concept in Dreaming of a Freaking Fairytale.

Fresh, mature, and honest, romantic comedy genre!


_______________________________ ____________________________ ____________________________

Both are fairytales in which the female lead wants to become a Cinderella by approaching a guy for money and automatically becoming successful.

While Cheongdamdong Alice also has elements of Alice in Wonderland, Dreaming of a Freaking Fairytale mainly focuses on the fairytale of Cinderella.

Cheongdamdong Alice is more serious drama, but has some comedy scenes, while Dreaming of a Freaking Fairytale is more on the comedy side and is a light drama with some serious scenes.

Overall, both of these dramas are enjoyable, especially as they give different twists in the dramas.

The comedy aspect of these two make them stand out.
The male leads are equally sweet and totally wrapped around the fl's fingers

First, they are both unhinged. Sometimes their humor is so over the top, but I love that. It's the best medicine to make you laugh. Both have romance but waikiki has more focus on friendship rather than romance, while freaking fairytale focus on the romance between two leads.
