Summer's Desire (2010)

- Main leads were romantically together at the start (SD does not have a chronological time line but the flashbacks show the leads as a couple).
- ML comes from a rich family and is in a high position (in SD he is an orphan therefore there is no family drama about arranged marriage but in SaB there is).
- ML starts off as really toxic, his love for the FL seems more like an obsession, this is one of the reasons they break up at the start.
- SD focuses a lot on the ML's character development, but in SaB the ML stops being toxic almost out of nowhere.
- SML and FL are close in both dramas (in SD they were a couple in SaB they were only good friends in the past).
- The ML stops being toxic and tries everything to get back with the FL. Once they finally get back together, they stay together through thick and thin.

Yoon Joon Suh and Yoon Eun Suh grew up as siblings but Eun Suh was in fact from a different family as there was a mix up at the hospital where she was born. The switch came to light when Eun Suh was involved in a car accident and it was discovered that her blood type was different from her parents. Eun Suh's life took a complete turn when the 2 girls were returned to their respective families. Soon after, the Yoon family left for the States and Eun Suh was left living in sordid condition with her real family in Korea. Years after, Joon Suh returned to Korea and by chance the two former siblings were reunited.

An orphan girl and two successful men. She is willing to sacrifice love to get out of poverty. Her love interests both have their own sad pasts. All the leads are dysfunctional and in a very messed up love triangle despite the main girl's efforts to clear up the situation. It's not quite clear who is the one destined for her in these unpredictable shows.

Singer Hyeon Seok develops problems with his hearing (Menieres syndrome) and has to stop his recordings. He notices a picture of Hokkaido in a magazine and decides to travel there. He eventually arrives in a a small village in Hokkaido for rest. While there, he reminisces about the old days. The owner of the inn offers him a Japanese meal. There he meets a bright cheerful girl named Megumi.

- Rich ML and poor FL (technically rich in L&L but she was poor almost throughout the drama because she didn't remember her rich family)
- ML is obsessed with the FL and does everything he can to get her to be with him despite her being in a romantic relationship with the SML.
- In L&L the FL loses her memories and forgets the ML (and SML) and in SD the ML forgets the FL both due to accidents.
- The ML genuinely loves and cares for the FL and would sacrifice anything and everything for them and the FL is (on many instances) cold to the ML and disregards his feeling for her.
- Cast full of visuals and great acting.

- L&L is a lot more dragged (46 episodes) in comparison to SD (14 episodes) and the plot does get very repetitive and annoying.
- L&L is a historical drama, and like any historical Chinese drama, there is a lot of death.

SPOILER:
They both have a happy endings after all the characters go through a lot, in L&L the character go through a LOT more in comparison to SD.

The plot of both these dramas is almost the same, except that there is no scheming stepsister in the Chinese version and it is set in an entertainment world.
