Both dramas resolve around classical music and a music academy. They both also tackle a plotline depicting characters who are passionate to achieving their dreams.
Do You Like Brahms? (2020)
Similars
- “nice” lead characters
- reserved lead characters
- slow-paced romance
- creatives (leads are writers or musicians)
Both settings have a music university.
DYLB mains play piano and violin, SR main leads play piano and conductor.
Hardships of being talented and good romantic chemistry.
Both are piano-themed dramas released in 2020. In DDSSLLS, FL is a pianist. In DYLB, ML is a world-famous pianist. In both, it shows a sweet love story between young leads.
Both have a male protagonist who is a pianist (and was a child prodigy). The female protagonist is also a musician, but lacks the talent the male protagonist have.
- Amazing Soundtracks that complement the screenplay
- Slice of life with melodrama pacing
- Leads who are disappointed with their life but find comfort in each other
- Side characters with more than one-dimensional roles
What makes these two dramas similar is the non-conventional chemistry between the leads. In DYLB, the leads are both adorkably introverted which makes their flirting and interactions so awkwardly sweet. In RO, the leads march to the beats of their own drums caring little what others think about them. Consequently, this makes their back and forth banter and flirting so effortless and refreshing to watch.
- Both Dramas related to Music & Orchestra
- ML/FL plays Music with the other musicians perfectly
Both of dramas are about music, About Time tells the story of a woman who wants to become a musical actress, meanwhile Do You Like Brahms it's a story about a woman who wants to became a violinist.
Both ‘Wish you’ and ‘Do you like Brahms?’ is about music, both have introverted characters and the overall cinematography and feeling is similar. The difference is that ‘Wish you’ is a BL while ‘Do you like Brahms?’ is straight love.
they have the same vibe of performance ballet/ orchestra
orchestra them dramas
i personally didn't like IWHYS and i'm sure park eunbi won't disappoint me as always
this is a totally different story from each other.
but the vibes, atmospheres, and cinematography are very similar to each other, also, the main female lead in DYLB had the same shy personality of the main lead in black dog yet unique and refreshing, although they are shy but they stod for what they think it right.
if you like "do you like Bahamas?" I totally recommended you to watch "black dog" .
both are character dramas and somehow have similar vibes, with specific atmospher which catches you and makes feel you are there.
in both drama characters, their relationships and love triangles are raw realistic and deep, both drama has FL who loves art (music/sculpture) very much, wants to learn and success, and while going for that goal she gets in love triangle / falls in love (not only one time as it is usual for Kdrama FLs). But FL is not main similarity, the whole vibes, production, characters depth and storytalling style is similar.
P.S. in both drama there are great classic music soundtracks.
