Sm:)e (2018)
Similars
I haven't seen Sm:)e but the description sounds similar to I'm Not a Robot which is about a cynical man who has a condition where he is severely allergic to other people.
the female leads both end up working with the male main lead if i remember right.
and overall they are both really good dramas so i recommend you and everyone else to watch it :) .
Both are light-hearted romcoms with a similar premise and tone.
+ the ML has a weakness to which the FL is his only cure/exception
+ rich/popular ML with a poor/hardworking FL
+ ML falls first and chases first
+ ML is sweet and a bit awkward, not as cold/arrogant as the usual rich MLs
Sm:)e is longer and has more depth. It focuses on the entertainment industry and both leads are actors, while in LMiTD only the SML is an actor while the ML is a CEO businessman.
both are about a guy who can’t touch people and come close to human contact except a certain girl. i cannot hug you has supernatural elements to it though whereas sm:)pe doesn’t
- FL has strong family background but choses to abandon it
-FL starts working for ML
-both are comedies, although I found Royal Sister Returns to be more comedic (maybe partially bc of good chemistry)
- There is a past connecting the ML and FL and their families
-Sm:)e has a more light hearted ending
They both same because :-
-the ML is an idol
-the FL is ML 's assistant
-they fall in love with each other
- Both male leads have a phobia (one aspect of it is that they can't touch other people)
- Male lead can only touch the female lead
- Female lead help male lead overcome their fear
