역도요정 김복주 ‧ Drama ‧ 2016 - 2017
Although completely different shows with different age ranges (college vs adult romance), both kdramas are relatively uncommon for showing healthy relationships; neither relies on push-and-pull tropes in the second half to keep the main couple apart. Both couples lean on each other in order to get through their individual issues without any major communication issues. Both are very heartwarming shows.

fun, friendship based. WLF has slightly more romance but both are light-hearted shows and bingeworthy.

They're both sweet, light-hearted dramas. The girl is very tomboyish and likes to fight. The guy slowly falls in love with her while spending time together.

Both are super sweet, cute, and simply adorable shows. Lots of couple time instead of draggy stories for side characters.
Both are simply uplifting shows. You can't help but smile with both shows!

In this drama based on basketball (and somewhat on the anime Slam Dunk), a Taiwanese national team basketballer.
Duan Chen Feng, whose world consists of his 2 greatest loves: basketball and his girlfriend, Xiao Xi. They find their perfect world shattered, however, when on the day of his most important match, Duan Chen Feng has an accident on his way to the competition, and paralyses Angel, who just happens to be the sister of Iceman, his biggest opponent since they were young.

To shoulder his responsibilty, Chen Feng leaves school and his basketball so that he can take care of Angel. Xiao Xi, who does not know the reason behind Chen Feng's leaving school and giving up his beloved basketball, is heartbroken and bewildered. At about the same time, Tai Zi, falls in love with Xiao Xi's plucky and determined character.

Bullied at school because of her plain and dull appearance, Reina stops attending classes. However, a fateful encounter with makeup dramatically changes her life—after starting from zero, learning techniques, and putting in hard work, she undergoes a complete transformation into a goddess who turns heads wherever she goes! She planns to start a perfect new life at her new school! …Or so she thought. By sheer coincidence, her "top secret" is discovered by Kanda Shun—a cool, mysterious classmate with the top grades in their year. In exchange for keeping her secret, he forces her into an unexpected master-servant relationship!? As Reina grows closer to Shun, another classmate, Haruka Igarashi—who shares a certain "past" with Shun—also starts to take an interest in her.

They are both sports dramas with one theme being growing up and maturing from child to young adult/adult.

Both are lighthearted dramas about friendships and relationships. In both, the female lead is strong and into more "manlier" sports.

In WFKBJ (K-Drama) Leads have a childhood connection and meet again in university. The drama is centered around their university lives and navigating through that. Definitely one of those lighthearted friendship tropes with lots of fun and laughter, and heartfelt friendship moments.
In GSOT (Filipino Drama), the leads are childhood best friends and our ml is crushing hard on our fl with our fl first being clueless and later rejecting his confession by saying he's confused, they too have very sweet wholesome interactions as best friends.

the relationship between the 2 main leads had similar vibes, the girl was "strong" and the guy was "cute"
