Touch (2020)

This show has similar theme i.e. achieving the goal, has same characters ie. Make-up artists, actor, idol etc and how to overcome their hurdles.

It released the same year.. and shows a group of youths fighting to take down a corporation and make it in the food industry. Similarities are that both are youth dramas, focussed on friendship and support and are about achieving dreams or goals.

Xia Le Di was an arrogant, self-absorbed socialite before her father's bankruptcy left her penniless. She believed that it happened because his competitor stole "Mona Lisa," a revolutionary makeup technology that his company developed. She vowed to get it back. She went undercover at JEALOUS, the rival company, working as an assistant to Chang Yu Jie, the heartless operation manager/lead makeup artist. While she focused her investigation on him, her romantic interest wandered to his charming half-brother Chang Shao Feng. But unbeknownst to her, the half-brother was the real culprit behind the theft.

Both dramas are having the same message: when you loose everything, don't give up, there will be a door that opens up. The only difference is that Bonus book finds that with publishing books and Touch is dealing about make-up. Also both have a couple that has an age gap, with Bonus book it is the female that is a bit older than the male, with Touch it is the male that is older than the female. Both pairings work with each other, in both dramas the male leads are the boss, the female leads are their employee. Generally both give off a very similarish feeling.

In both dramas the male lead is played by Joo Sang Wook. Both deal about a female lead that learned form a disappointment that changed her life and works now together with the male lead to either get revenge, as it is the case in Birth of a Beauty, or to help the male lead, like it is the case in Touch. Both dramas have a very similar feeling and a similar relationship between the leads.

Have a similar vibe and overall setting. With older ML and younger FL. Touch has Romance story tho. One is a hair salon, one is a make up salon

In terms of genre is different as one is school romance genre while the other is office romance genre. But when it comes to make up elements they are somewhat similar. In touch the female lead is interested in make up just like Ju Kyung she's trying discover her talent in make up.

Both are about idol singers who failed after they debuted. Only difference is one proceed on changing their interest towards make up and the other one keeps on trying to keep her goal as a an idol singer.

- age gap romance - female lead goes through a series of struggles with no one by her side to give her support - although one is more to sport while the other is more to idol + makeup; these drama gives off similar vibes - cute loveline between the leads - feel good drama + healing drama
