Meteor Garden

Same story, different version. Both are based upon the manga with the same characters and general plot but have different interpretations of the story.

Both are set in school with a rich ML/poor FL. The ML's mother disapproves of their relationship, and there is a rich SFL who is engaged/planned to be engaged to the ML. Both dramas deal with school bullying.

Zhang Jing Yi is the FL in both. The chemistry is natural. The relationship had depth. However, BEITD does not have a satisfactory ending.

Both have bad boy MLs who bully the FL at first. The MLs have at least one close male friend they're always with who develops a crush on the FL, and both are set in a school with the FL a poorer more fish out of water character.

Both have "reverse harem" genre with handsome male leads ................................................................................................................................................................

In both plots the FL enters a cooking contest as the underdog contestant. The MLs are hot-tempered and controlling personalities.

The storylines are similar just like in the first season of DDYD. If your a fan of Meteor Garden you're going to love this show just be sure to watch the first season.

The similarities are
rich famous male lead
Hate to love relationship
Tsundere personality of male lead
A Scene where leads are lost in a snowy place

similarities
- Both take place in an institute setting
- A girl is interacting with a boy group of 4
- Falls in love with the one she hates the most
- In the beginning hate the group except one guy (that one guy in both dramas are sensible and reserved)
- The ML starts mentally acting mature ones they fall in love with the FL

Differences
- MG is modern while CAA is historical
- In CAA the FL is disguised as a boy
- In MG the group of 4 bully everyone but in CAA the group only bullies the FL
- In MG one of them is a play boy but in CAA one of them is love sick
- In MG one of them is a sportsman while in CAA one them is good in martial arts

They both give off the same vibe overall but I think CAA had a bit more to its story than MG.
Basically all the dramas about BOYS OVER FLOWERS give off a similar vibe to CAA.

Similarities:
- Their relation changes through story: from enemies to lovers
- Guy is spoiled but he changes and becomes a better person because of the girl
- Girl is kind, helpful and tough, she doesn't give up easly
- School / romance / comedy

Four handsome boys in both of the dramas
F4 and G4 :'D
A bold girl enters into their lives.
I felt Love crossed had the vibe of MG.

Cold male lead
K&K reminded me of a cooler group of F4 (and they were a group of like 8 or 9)
Mom didn’t want them together (FL mom doesn’t like ML)
FL is bubbly and fun and has to teach ML how to love Both are new to relationship.

ML is a bully who undergoes character growth and change after meeting FL who he initially plays games with and bullies, but then slowly falls in love with her. ML is a student in both, but the FL is older in Promise Cinderella. Similar style of humor in the lighter scenes.

as they both are high school dramas. Also, it has a similar plot of a handsome guy and an ordinary girl.

- same vibes
- school setting
- unpopular girl x popular guy
- FL befriend a group of boys
- FL is new at school and gets bullied by the ML
- despite all they both fall in love
