Itaewon Class

29-year-old Hyuga Toru is a wealthy man. He first started to run an internet website from his small room and his hobby began to make a lot of money. Nowadays, he doesn't like to socialize and if somebody comes to him he suspects that they may want his money. Sawaki Chihiro attends a job fair and by an unexpected occurrence begins to work for Toru. Chihiro soon realizes that Toru isn't so bad. There's pureness in him and also a good deal of loneliness. She then begins to have feelings for him.

Both have one of the leads wanting revenge because of a tragic event of a relative in the past.
In Doctors is the FL, in Itaewon Class is the ML

Both dramas are heartwarming in a way because the main characters father dies and leaves them alone. The main character then has to live life without any family, that is until "family" shows up. Both characters work in a business with this new family. There is also LGBTQ+ representation in both of them.

Itaewon Class
The main character gets out of prison and decides to take revenge on a man who is half responsible for his fathers death. He wants to take revenge by outdoing the mans business. While planning revenge, he meets some people that make him feel he still has a family.
-Business, life, food


Move To Heaven
The main character is a young boy with autism, the boys father dies and he can't be left alone. So the boy's uncle gets called in to look after him. The uncle just got out of jail for beating someone up in a fight. The boy continues to work for the business that he and his father used to run, but instead of working with his father, he has to work with his uncle.
-A type of business to help the deceased and their loved ones
-Life, drama, family
-Very heartwarming and very sad
-Digs into multiple people's issues

Okay I know this is a stretch here but the dynamic between the female and male leads are similar... FLs are super smart while the male leads are full of passion, but not exactly the brightest... It's also the FLs that paves the way for the MLs' successes...

- The main character faces numerous hardships and obstacles, in order to reach his dreams. Through his struggles he faces his most hated enemy, but goes through healing with the help of his new found friendships.
- The male character has a childhood first love and a potential new love. Who will he end up with?
- Both dramas have a food theme, where the ML is an underdog. In Itaewon, the ML wants to open up a successful restaurant and in Baker King the ML wants to be the best baker.

Similar David & Goliath story were an unassuming character tries to take down one of the biggest conglomerates in Korea for the purpose of revenge. Interestingly both dramas mention the autobiography of the conglomerate chairman which is a key plot device.

Ki Sun Gyeom is a sprinter on the national team who was forced to quit due to legal issues. Oh Mi Joo writes translated subtitles for movies. She was thrilled to see her name listed among the credits when she first started. Ki Sun Gyeom had just quit sprinting when he encountered Oh Mi Joo, who felt that destiny most certainly brought them together. Seo Dan Ah is the CEO of a sports agency and rightful successor to the Seomyung Group. Despite this, she is held back from advancing in the company due to her gender. She fiercely wishes to reclaim what is rightfully hers and lives her life accordingly. Lee Young Hwa, a university art major who enjoys movies and drawing soon enters her life. Could romance be in the cards for these two couples?

They also try to fight hardships with their restaurant or pub, and the vibe was similar.
I know the cast in this is more young, inexperienced and this one seemed less mature, it could be great for those who are searching for something similar.

The relationship is from hate to love and the friendship is great as well. Although it can't beat Itaewon class for me, it is similar in many ways, has a nice ost as well and I think the actors did a good job. This one is more relaxing :)

Two boys and one girl from the same class. One boy goes through something traumatic leading to the revenge plot. Both boys also like the same girl.

Both have a main lead who suffered from someone who is in a high position. Both male leads are very similar to their character. Both wish to get revenge and both make it by planing a very long time.
Generally both drama have a pretty similar story, however the biggest difference is the morales the main leads have.

Both have tough and assertive female leads whose actions you don't always approve of. If you liked the morally gray Jo Yi Seo from Itaewon Class, you'll love the focus on the FL in Here's My Plan.
