Related

These two dramas are written by the same team so there are quite a few similarities: Slice of life rom-coms with a similar feel Characters - two male love interests older lone tsundere who has had a career change for some reason and a younger kind love interest with a team of friends,weird/lazy boss, a funny co-worker, and an outspoken best friend Comedic elements - running jokes assorted forms of humor Differences: setting/careers and interests are different - in Drinking Solo they are Teachers interested in Drinking and in A Poem a Day they are medical therapists interested in Poetry.
How has no one recommended A Poem A Day yet?? When I started More Than Friends it instantly reminded me of A Poem A Day. Not only because of the love triangles but because the FL's in both are incredibly similar personality-wise. They both love to write, they both experience a painful unrequited love and they both have a new love interest introduced.
This is a very slow paced drama similar to Piece of Your Mind. The characters are engaging and I absolutely fell in love with the prose presented throughout the series. The female leads of the two dramas have similar personalities in their quirkiness and tendency to support and love the male lead even though they are distant. Unlike "A Piece of Your Mind", the love triangle is between the female leads first crush and her work infatuation.
Myung Soo Hyun is the Screenwriter of both! which explains why both are very similar in one aspect which is comedy! the best thing about both shows is the unique traits of each characters which makes the interactions between them hilarious. both got that repetitive gags going on throughout the drama
It's a medical drama where the focus is not on the medicine, and has a lot of romance in it. The main characters know each other before they start working in the hospital, and there is a misunderstanding between them that made them hate each other.
This two may have a different genre, but if you're a fan of poetry. I think you'll like this. The way how the ML describes a certain happening in the story is like reading a poem.
- The love/hate, push pull kind of relationship - almost childlike male lead who gets jealous when the FL is dating someone - Really good secondary characters that also get sufficient screen time - You can watch both over and over again - Little romantic tidbits and lots of comedy
they are both tell something realistic and heartwarming. if you are struggling with your job/career, then this drama will be perfect for you
The characters in both dramas have love and compassion for their jobs, and a nice balance between being professional and having fun as colleagues and friends.
It has that Bubbly Female lead and Serious Male Lead trope. Takes place in hospital. Supportive and not-bitchy co workers. Light hearted. Female lead takes the first initiative. Personally one of my all time favorites. Its not dark has good morales. And a bonus of really good poems.

- Both of the Korean Dramas have comedy - Both of them have bromance - Both of them has a love triangle - Good male leads -Innocent female leads Differences -Hwarang is historical -A poem a day is present and the workers are really funny
- Both are very poetic - Feel-good and refreshing dramas - Boss/Employee Relationship + Poor Female Lead - Might potentially give you second lead syndrome!
the romance between the leads from WSL is quite similar to that of APAD. its slow and calming with a hint of comedy and tragedy here and there. I kept getting a similar vibe from both dramas. i like both of them. you should definetly try the other drama if you liked one of them. you should also try these drama if your ina mood for a calming romance with a bit of laughter and a bit of crying. (dont worry its not a tragic story!)
Genres: Romance, Life, Drama, Medical It tells the story of lives of people who work at the hospital like physical therapists, rehabilitation therapists, radiologists, nurses, medical trainees etc. It is a slice of life story.
