ALSB is a sweet and wonderful "variation" of Itazura Na Kiss and its many adaptations. This Chinese variation dedicates about 60% of the show to life in high school and 40% to life as college students and as young professionals, up until they decide to marry. What's special about this C-version is that the male lead shows interest in and cares about the main girl from the onset. At the beginning, he cares in his own quiet ways; then he slowly comes to terms with his feelings and to expressing them. The Thai adaptation "Kiss Me" was excellent. Both variations, the Taiwanese "Attention Love!" and the Japanese seasons 1 and 2 of "Good Morning Call" were good too, but ALSB does a better job in explaining the male lead's personality and decisions. Seriously, ALSB is a sweet show...

Kiss Me is the Thai adaptation of Itazura Na Kiss and all its different Japanese, Taiwanese, and Korean remakes.
A Love So Beautiful is the Chinese "version" of the high IQ lead boy and bottom-of-the-class lead girl's love story as high schoolers, college students, and young professionals. The lead boy in ALSB is nicer, helpful (unbeknownst to the lead girl most of the time), and sweeter from the beginning than in Kiss Me. While KM is the best remake of the original story, ALSB is a fluffier and funnier variation inspired by the original INK and its remakes.

Main story is about the male lead character (boss) and lead girl (employee) falling in love, helped by a ghost (girl's ex-boyfriend).
Halfway through Love Cheque, once main lead accepts that he's in love, he is pretty steadfast, working out problems with girl (except the last 5-6 chapters). Both have happy endings. Fox's Summer is funnier and girl is sassy and feisty.

In LC, main story is about the male lead (boss) and lead girl (employee) falling in love, helped by a spirit (girl's ex-boyfriend).
Halfway through LC, once main lead accepts being in love, he is steadfast and works out problems with girl (except the last 5-6 chapters). Boss & Me is sweeter, fluffier, and funnier.

In both series, quirky bosses fall in love with their employees. In LC, the main male lead befriends the spirit of main girl's ex-boyfriend.
SPOILER>>> In LC, the the girl's ex (in spirit while in comma and healthy after recovered) helps the lead couple.
In MS, because the lead girl was in comma and her spirit wondered, after recovering, she gained paranormal senses which lead/ help develop the relationship with the lead actor.

In Love Cheque, the main story is about a male ghost involved in matching the lead couple who are boss/employee falling in love. Oh My Ghostess involves more paranormal/fantasy in its storyline, while LC includes 3 love stories.

A love so beautiful (ALSB) is simply an uplifting show! You can't help but smile.
It's a show with lots of couple time.
ALSB is funny, super sweet, cute, and simply adorable. The genius boy is still cold but supportive in his own way. A common characteristic amongst high IQ individuals is lower empathy... but in ALSB the main male lead has family reasons for not having a higher EQ.
There are so many remakes, adaptations, and versions of the original Itazura Na Kiss-- and I thought the Thai version was the best-- until I I saw ALSB now in Feb 2018. The Thai version is sweeter than the original (2/3 Japanese, 1 Korean, and 2 Taiwanese versions) but it still pretty much follows the original storyline.

Both have quirky bosses falling in love with their subordinates. Fox's Summer is a fluffier and funny series, with a sassy and feisty lead girl. No paranormal or fantasy storyline in FS.

Both are super sweet, cute, and simply adorable shows. Lots of couple time instead of draggy stories for side characters.
Both are simply uplifting shows. You can't help but smile with both shows!

Both series are funny with lead actresses playing sassy and feisty roles. Coincidentally, both lead male roles are germaphobes.
