Although I would like to say season 1 and 2 are different in story line but the concept is still there. I recommend both seasons because it entails life lessons and different medical cases. It portrays realistic situations and good research.
-Both have 3 main cast which does not contain triangle relationship
- Both have mentor-mentee dynamic, as one of the main cast is a more senior doctor and also their superior
- The stories focus on patients
- The cases in this show are critical. The hospital in Dr. Romantic is located in an accident prone area, the hospital in The Heart is a specialised that deal with patients that have heart issues which are often time sensitive and critical.
- The romance part is slight in both stories.
- The scene setup looks real in both stories. Like I can believe they are hospitals that have been around for ages with how “old” they look.
- Both stories showcase nurses too.

Academic rivals in school to lovers.
Dr. Romantic 2 is a medical show but the leads have a similar push pull and full of chemistry relationship as do the younger leads in LYE.
There is also a time jump in both shows from when they were in school to adult life except on Dr. a romantic 2 the actors remain the same throughout which makes it much better.

Han Seok Kyu's characters are really similar.
