Recommandations

in no way similar to the main leads and story

…BUT if you liked the supporting grumpy doctor this drama has him as a main lead

- he is devoted to the fl
- gets angry when people get hurt
- easily gets jealous
- can’t express his feelings

If you like dramas which like to delve into the strange, weird and wonderful lives of humans, mixed with some murders, then both Under The Skin and The Journey Across the Night will be highly recommended. Both are headed with leads with good chemistry and side kicks. Journey Across the Night is under appreciated and is one of the best out there, it too possibly has a second season planned.

The drama tells the story of a fallen princess forced into a political marriage with a corrupt prime minister. She faces numerous dangers but strives to survive to protect herself amidst the conflicts of national loyalty, personal vengeance, and true love. Meanwhile, the prime minister, outwardly ambitious to become a treacherous official, secretly harbors a desire to serve his country, its people, and the world.

Points of similarity:
1. Both FL and ML knew each other since childhood
2. Both FL are short track speed skaters
3. Both tackles romance and youth genre
4. Detailed dramas about the challenges of chasing dream and facing difficulties when it comes to their dream of being an athlete.

As I watched Parole Examiner Lee I thought of One Dollar Lawyer. Both are crime, law dramas with some humor here and there. Both have smart male leads. Neither had a romance story line nor was one needed. So if you liked the one you may like the other.

Lee Na Yeon is made an orphan when chaebol heiress, Park Yu Gyeong, causes the death of her mother, Lee Yu Nae, in a traffic accident. Yu Nae and Yu Gyeong had been rivals in love for the same man, Jang Gyeong Wan, with Yu Gyeong ensnaring him into marriage by claiming the child she is carrying is his. Jang attempts to make amends for abandoning his college sweetheart by trying to give the orphaned Nayeon a home, to the anger of Yu Gyeong and the jealousy of his daughter, Se Jin. When Na Yeon discovers evidence that her mother's death may be more than an accident, she forgoes the chance of a life of wealth and privilege for an orphanage. Taken in by the widow of the man who ran down her mother, Na Yeon grows up alongside Tae Jun, an impoverished but driven and academically brilliant young man who becomes the love of her life. However, he cheats on her for his own success and goes with Se Jin.

History 3 trapped is less intense and more comedic, however, there are definitely similarities between the two. Both have one character that is quite firm with their beliefs and morals who falls in love with someone who challenges these morals. Also in both shows there is a heavy presence of crime and police officer main characters.

I think both of them are pretty similar because it talked about religion and queer people. They also both take place in the 90s in a (Christian) high school.

Very similar concept, both dramas have an experienced idol manger who gets betrayed by the company they helped build. In entertainer the ML makes a band whilst the FL in Namib has only one individual talent so far. The ML in entertainer also has a romantic interest (the manager of the new group he's making). Both the leads mentor a struggling young trainee into becoming a star, the entertainer also has a lot more bromance

Leads interact through messages (letters/emails) rather than meeting in person for the majority of these films. Female leads both navigate feelings for other in-person relationships while contacting male leads.
