One is the original drama and the other is a special mini-series drama spin-off with the same characters. The mini drama is very cute and funny.

In both we have the typical cold dude that treats the FL as trash and she is dumb as trash too. But he still develops feelings towards the FL.
Also, Itazura Na kiss at some point involves a doctor-nurse relationship.

Similar in a way that they are both in a "hospital" setting, but the other is in a ship, the other in a real hospital.

Similar in a way that, the leading doctors are tsundere to their soon to be partners and then being lovey dovey after they see that the other has something good to offer...

Difference is, the couple in Hospital Ship are both doctors, but on the other drama, it is between a doctor and a nurse.

But you will get the similar feels and the pressures of working in a medical setting, same excitement, etc.

Even though the themes are extremely different (cooking and hospital), there are way more similarities between these dramas than I thought

- FL harbors a seemingly unrequited love for the ML
- FL is headstrong, stubborn, optismistic, perservering inexperienced newcomer at her workplace
- ML is seemingly cold at first and often yells/scolds at FL and gradually begin to soften with her over time as he develops a mentor/mentee relationship with FL
- ML and FL first meeting was cute and FL had a good impression of ML until FL met him again at the workplace where he is a seemingly cold and ruthless workaholic
- There's a scene where ML professes his love for FL saying he loves her more than she loves him despite being the colder/less affectionate between the two of them
- ML starts to show his affection for FL after getting injured for saving ML from a dangerous situation
- Near the end of the series, both FL is given a chance to go study abroad and ML supports her in going although the FLs make different decisions in their respective dramas

1. Cold aloof male lead and cute female lead
2. Male lead had a previous relationship.
3. The female lead likes the male lead first.
4. Male lead is 7-8 years older than female lead.

Girl approaches first.. the boy doesn't give a damn at first.
Plays hard to get game.
Then he gets jealous if he sees the girl talking with someone else alone :'D
