Both of these dramas start from a similar point, a young rich heir who seems to have everything going in his favor is thrown into dark despair and pain due to a relative's destructive greed. The kids narrowly escape, but return years later harboring secrets to realize their revenge. While both of these kids, now turned men, are ultimately seeking revenge, they display countless acts of kindness to the people around them. They both also use a sense of humor and disarming smile to hide their grief and pain. The leading ladies are both strong, smart women who have lead troubled lives but love their mentally challenged, poor family more than their life. Monster and Can You Hear My Heart have addictive plots with emotional depth and character.

In both the male lead has supernatural abilities that a mysterious enemy is trying to capture them because of. The secondary characters in both share interesting relationships and behaviors and can carry a scene without the two leads present. My amazing boyfriend is more on the comedic side whereas a different kind of pretty man tends to be melodramatic. Both are fun with lots of eye candy.

There are many differences between the plots and characters, yet they share a number of enjoyable similarities. The action and plot are quick, entertaining sequences that are more prominently seen in Chinese/tawainese dramas, meaning they lack the typical refinement of Korean action. Side characters are largely used to overtly induce laughter with their exaggerated facial expressions and personalities. Both also feature a main male lead with mysterious ties to ancient times and unbelievable abilities. Watch these if you want something entertaining without being too heavy.

As fellow OCN dramas, these shows share a considerable amount of similarities: (1) the beloved dark, gritty OCN ambiance, (2) tortured male leads with cryptic pasts, (3) an overarching mystery that is slowly unraveled within the story line composed of numerous smaller cases, (4) quick, brutal violence that is generally mob vs 1, (5) growth of the camaraderie between unlikely partners, and (6) I'm sure many other similarities that will be revealed as the season continues!

Both of these dramas focus on a male vampire who is cold and withdrawn due to their past. These dramas are both incredibly overacted and a bit cheesy, but still enjoyable if you are looking for a vampire story with eye-candy.

Both of these Thai dramas have a stubborn, head strong female leads who show the troubled, supernatural male leads that life can be loved and people can be trusted. They also share a similar feeling as well as a cheesy acting and writing that come across more endearing than distasteful.

Both feature a male lead who due to a traumatic event in their past have been rendered disabled (one deaf and one blind). These leads can be a bit cold on the outside at times and can appear to be uninterested in what is going on around them, yet they both have a warm, fuzzy inside that leaks through especially when the female lead is present. Someone Like You is more melodrama, and has a dreamy pace while Can You Hear My Heart is more makjang and has a faster pace. Perfect shows to warm your heart on a Sunday afternoon.

While one is about hockey and one about opera, they hold many similarities. Both young men are working as thugs and through unexpected situations learn the joy of friendship and chasing your dream. They must overcome not only hardships and enemies, but their own pasts and doubt. Inspirational, heartwarming dramas.

Very similar vibe, with touches of romance, mysteries bringing people from various background together, and the cinematic and captivating action sequences!

Both of these short dramas share a very similar ambiance. The story and music create a deep, beautiful picture of friendship, life, and healing. The plots are completely different, but the richness and rawness are the same. These dramas really move you and enchant you.

Both deal with an unconventional teacher and their methods to motivate and stimulate their rambunctious, trouble-making students into becoming hard-working, self-respecting students and members of society.

Both are overtly comedic in their take on high school thugs and tough guys, and you can't help but love each and every unique character.
