Doona and To My Star are two series I could never get tired of rewatching. Both feature the grumpy x sunshine trope with an idol who's on hiatus due to a controversy. In one, the lead ends up living with him as roommates, and in the other, she lives just one floor below. And the angst with "stop using me because you're bored" trope hits hard in both??

Both include a teacher different from the others, a complex line of students and a hierarchy in the classroom is heavily implied

School 2013 is more student-focused in the main characters are two students with a complicated past friendship.

Both dramas have pretty much the same motive: to grow and nurture students into becoming adults. School 2013 is more heavy in terms of circumstances and conditions, but it's a must watch.
