Crazy Love = Drinking Solo 2.0 :

1. basic plot tell about : best instructor, private education, private educational system, management, instructors's life, South Korea's private education system & management, South Korea's education system even the motivation of MLs to be an instructor each are same, one mission, one goal

2. Both male leads are South Korea's best top-notch Instructors, Drinking Solo's male lead role is best Korean History Instructor, meanwhile, Crazy Love's male lead role is best Math Instructor
Their names mean, "Hard working person (people)" : Noh Gojin (Crazy Love) & Jin Jungsuk/Jinsang (Drinking Solo), both lead males are hardworking dilligent instructors. Because the "Jin" name in their both each names Even their ages are same. Jin Jungsuk was 35 in 2016 (this Drinking Solo drama made), Noh Gojin also was 35 in 2022 (this Crazy Love drama made). Also happen in FLs, Professor Park Hana, Korean Instructor was 29 (Drinking Solo), meanwhile Lee Shinah here was also 29, Shinah dreams to be Korean Instructor just like Kim Chabae Instructor & Professor Park Hana. Both FLs also are hardworking people as same goes with MLs

3. Both male leads have luxurious blue coloured same model cars

4. Both male leads have "trashy", "sexy trash/high-quality trash" "less manner" nicknames, these each writers create their character/role name vvvvvv reasonable & most suitable & realistic xD. because of their jerk, arrogant,cold, stingy behaviour, but Drinking Solo's male lead less jerk compared with Crazy Love's male lead. less jerk. Crazy Love's ML is the jerkest & most filthy -tempered amongst K-Drama land I have ever found, known, witness so far. Both male leads treat the FLs, everyone like insects, both male leads tend to fond of spending their time alone. Even their background, the reason why they become jerk people are resemble each other

5. Both male leads finally fall in love with FLs

the food section is same. it's about a man and a food with love spicy plus comedy and but the diffrent is the male lead is not arrogant but mystery and really funny

well ithink it's jut a drinking solo with no food. the lead arrogant too at first and starring become more soft and the female lead too have the same aura i think

Both dramas show stories about teaching and love between teachers ;)

Same plot. Popular but snobby teacher (male lead) at a special training center fall in love with female lead who is one of the newer teachers.

Beverage themed Kdramas, with a Romance between Older Leads

For people who like Food&Drink theme & More mature romances

Drinking Solo and Black Dog both centre on the educational system on South Korea.

While in Drinking Solo -which has a lighter feel- de follow teacher in an academy for aspiring civil servants, Black Dog -which has a darker ambiance- is about the daily life of teachers in a high school

Both dramas follow lives of people who, after their busy work, head to a bar for a bottle (or two!) of soju. Both dramas focus on drinkig culture, food, everyday life issues and crazy epic friendship dynamics (for WLDN it's 3 main female leads, for DS it is Noryangjin male trio)

Both dramas have similar kind of high and mighty, narcissistic MLs who look down on FL all the time, then later fall madly in love haha.And both MLs are considered as the best in their industry. FLs are not much great at their profession at first, but become better under ML's guidance.

Both don't have chaebols, both have mukbang and most importantly characters you can relate to.

- same office situation- a really good cram school teacher vs a not too good one
- drinking solo is more about their relationship, while lions pride involves mystery and some crime solving
- male ml in lion pride is not developed well- the transition to being nicer to the FL is pretty abrupt
- second lead syndrome ... yeah its here

if you want the same overall dynamic, id say this is the way to go

Both revolve around studying and education. Drinking solo focuses on the teachers romance whereas cheese in the trap revolves around students and student life issues

Focuses on students, both have romance and comedy elements. Student life.

There is a lot of drinking in both dramas. But aside from that, both dramas have same kind of mellow atmosphere. Main guys are both pretty arrogant and the main girls pretty nice.

The leads in both dramas are happy living solo until they fall in love. Also both of them have Gong myung.
