as soon as I read the jdrama synopsis it reminded me of extracurricular except the roles are flipped.
In the Kdrama the ML is poor and takes advantage of classmates to earn money (there is a lot of context behind this). I believe he doesn't have a mother and his father is up to no good either. And the FML is rich, she has everything she could think of apart from freedom. One day she finds out what the ML is up to and takes part in it for fun and to run away from her family.
According to the jdrama synopsis, the FML is poor and has a single mother. To earn money she takes advantage of classmates situation. ML on the other hand is rich but has no freedom. One day ML finds out about what FML is doing and takes part to make money and run away.

If you love the crime school type of genre or just want something REALLY SIMILAR to Extracurricular, I really recommend Bad Genius. Bad Genius is about a group of students who make money by cheating on test. It's also really good if you love suspense. Bad Genius also has a drama remake which was inspired by the movie.
