-Very smart/confident FLs and wiley/powerful MLs. (FL/ML maybe more clever/cunning in Ming Lan)
-Both manipulate people/situations in their favour; in particular both FL/ML families. The FLs are underdogs.
-Both try to comically outsmart each other initially, but grow together and end up a power couple backing each other up.
-Both FLs like another man initially.
-Both are slow-burn Historicals (Ming Lan more slow-burn, and has more episodes)
-Both met when they were younger, when young MLs helped FLs out of a tough spot.
-Ming Lan is maybe a bit more authentic with a slower pace, lots of characterisation and character growth.
**I'll update again when Autumn Ballad is finished airing.

-Same actress FL with similar characters in both dramas
-Both dramas start with the characters together during childhood and then continue later as adults when they establish the relationship.
-Both MLs have to leave the FL suddenly for a few years, and later suddenly return, to start a romantic relationship. (Sounds melodramatic ik, give it a chance xD)
-Very similar premise and themes, but overall, With You is more of a fluffy romance, and Go Ahead focuses much more on family themes.
-Complex characters with more realistic issues and plot complications. (both slightly have slice of life themes.)

-Childhood friends who end up together romantically (But not clear who's going to end up with who)
-Same Dysfunctional Family/Community feeling in both series.
-Both nostalgic dramas about Childhood/Youth/Growing up. (Reply 1988 in particular is beautiful, Characters are shown reflecting on their childhood)
-Go Ahead has more of a nostalgic Family/ Healing theme, genetically different but a family nonetheless.
-All main characters in GA & R1988 are each others main source of support/happiness, the same support bubble/friendship groups.
- Go Ahead spends more time on the characters while they grow up and reconnect with each other and less on them younger.

Okay, hear me out.
-Both are romantic Kdramas.
-Charismatic, smooth MLs who fall in love first & pursue FLs.
-Strong FLs competent in career paths.
-Adorable second couples (with strong FLs as well)
-Both FLs struggle to commit to the relationship at first, but are eventually won over.
-Both dramas have the right amount of complication but also fluffiness (DOTS also has more action although side FL in WWW can fight hehe).
-Search: WWW is focused more on the FL, and other female characters than their love interests however.

Premise of both very similar to DOTS. For both of these two:
-Female Doctor, Male Special forces/Military Officer. Very much career dramas.
-Initially don't get on, grow together and support each other.
-Slow burn Romance
-Brought together (romantically and work-wise) though danger... natural disasters/bandits etc.
-FLs outspoken and strong in beliefs.

- The FLs are so similar in personality, kinda crazy/kind/innocent.
-But they're (FLs) both capable, one from being a doctor, the other for knowing the plot of the story.
-MLs are initially cold, but adorably sweet when they fall in love & MLs fall in love first
-Both are time travel dramas... sort of.
-Both have the main characters marry each other early on & fall in love with each other
I think Tiger & Rose has a lot more comedy than PAL, but both are super light watches.

*Strong, Kickass FLs
*FL characters growth, from naïve to a force to be reckoned with...
*Romance, duh
*Mid-length Historical C-drama.
*Innocent initial relationships which don't work.
*Isolated FLs drawn into a great power-struggle.
LOHM is like marmite, if you can ignore the unbelievable cross-dressing and can take the midway switch to action. A decent Mulan remake. SOTB, perfect for anyone with second lead syndrome... kind of. Just give them a go, and wait for (underrated) LOHM to warm up before you marmite it... :)

*Stronggg FLs; RAR more mental, AOTB more physically. Both can kick-butt though.
*Both couples fighting against Japanese control of China, same time period.
*MLs have the whole baddy-but-actually-am-a-spy-so will- help-FL-out persona
*Romance... uh, yeah.
*Bittersweet endings, but not tragedies.
I find both these dramas so underrated... I'm not sure everyone will like both as I think RAR mostly has a lighter tone. But give them a go, it's not the end of the world if you don't like them both. Official sites if you want: AOTB on youtube w/ subs, RAR on Viki.

*Strong Female Lead in that they take control of their loves without help from MLs.
*FLs hide their identities
*Fluffy, sweet relationship... with the MLs initially not liking the FL.
*Rich male Leads
*21-30 episode Cdramas... if you want a longer story.
Give them a go, The Fox's Summer to me was less fluffy but I loved the female lead here, the FL in accidentally in love has that cute, babyish feel which is also sweet to most though. Hope this helps someone another drama they like! xx

-Similar psychological twists. This is mostly where the similarities lie, and why I love these so much... they are what makes the dramas so GOOD!!
-The Light In Your Eyes is much darker, starts off happy.
-Its Okay, That's Love is fluffier, happier and overall much more of a crowd-pleaser, TLIYE is like marmite-you love it, or you hate it.
-Can't remember for TLIYE, but IOTL has a great strong female lead.

-Both have strong female leads who can throw a punch, and lets no one boss them around.
- Both have a love story where male falls in love first, and both leads are lawyers/judges with their SO working with them.
- In Lawless attorney, both leads are attempting to overthrow a corrupt legal system. In Miss Hammurabi, they challenge traditional ideas of punishment (and of women), and try to prevent people of power influencing law and justice.
-Both fight for the small people, in a seemingly impossible fight
- Lawless Attourney I feel is darker in tone, yet Miss Hammurabi captures how hard it is to work as a judge, sentencing only through law and seeing depressing stories on a daily basis.
-The female leads in both dramas have dark pasts. Both have happy endings
I’m sorry if I included too much about the dramas in here. Also I’m sorry if you don’t like both dramas...but that’s life and they're my favourite law dramas so have to recommend...
