Begin Again

Female CEO chasing after a handsome man who doesn't show interest at first. They both have a domineering FL and a "hero" type ML.

both dramas have:
- boss lady FL (FL has more money and a higher career position)
- divorce involved (and hidden **spoiler** involved)
- families oppose the marriage at first
- ML and FL are "fated" (met as children, and had a whirlwind romance)
- FL has a job scandal where she is implicated and needs to restart as a boutique design company
- two side CPs
- well-casted/great acting

differences:
- MLA: ML is very immature/childlike
- MLA: consistent arguing leads to miscommunication; BA: lack of arguing leads to miscommunication

Begin Again definitely is the higher/better production drama. But Meet Love Again could be a filler drama if you're not in the mood for a rewatch. As of now, no eng subs on MLA though...

This is also a contract relationship drama and is just as fun and exciting as Begin again. There is even you popular male CEO.

They both have 3 couples and is very amazing to watch ??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????

- contract marriage
- business related
- psychological, trauma issues of FL/ML
-> Begin Again: FL seems cold at first, ML's a warmer person
-> Hello Mr. Gu: bubbly FL, cold ML

Chinese drama with cute and smart kid actor

Both these dramas focusbon a strong female lead who is the CEO of a corporation.

Also, another similarity that can be noted is that in the two dramas, the leads enter a marriage of convenience which eventually leads to their falling in love.

Both of these dramas feature a couple who starts off in a marriage not born of love that quickly turns dysfunctional (or abusive in the case of MMLY) due to misunderstandings/assumptions. The Female lead falls first in both of these shows. Both dramas feature a dysfunctional family on the FL's side.

MAJOR SPOILERS:
Both dramas feature the leads having a child that the ML does not know about due to circumstances that led to divorce. As well as a male best friend that is presumed by the ML to be the father.

And despite all, the both end in complete happy ever afters for the leads.

Female lead is more powerful than male lead
But this is a modern drama not historical.
Married couple love triangles. Family issues.

It tells the story of a domineering female CEO and a warm doctor who turn a fake relationship into reality due to practical reasons. Having exchanged their 'I do's', they start on a new chapter of their lives as they learn to fall in love.
Lu Fangning is the general manager of Luning Group, a large corporation in the business of home furniture. Lu Fangning is a woman who has it all - talented, beautiful and rich. Nearing her thirties, Lu Fangning succumbs to family pressures and decides that she urgently needs a husband with whom she will have a child.
Coincidentally, surgeon Ling Rui appears in front of her. Ling Rui is not only blessed with good looks but also has an angelic heart, which makes him the perfect candidate in the eyes of Lu Fangning. She schemes her way to his life and they finally become husband and wife. Lu Fangning eventually realizes the error in her ways and strives to be better. However, keeping a marriage is not as easy as it seems.

- CEO FL
- Rich FL x Poor ML
- FL takes ML in as her man (contract husband in BA, sugar mama/sugar baby in Fake Love)
- ML cooks for FL
- Cool, protective, assertive, proactive and dominant FL x mellow, sweet, submissive and cute ML (in LSfMS2 he's more of a tsundere)
- Dominant FL x Submissive ML
- Both leads are protective of each other
- Gender role reversal themes
- Hella stylish FLs & both MLs wear mostly white
- Arcs related pregnancy

In Begin Again main couple doesn’t have arrange marriage but its marriage of convenience so similar in a way. Also, female leaves and has secret child and they get back together again. Very similar plot. If you like one, you will definitely like another.

So its complicated, first of all China is much modern than Thai dramas which I have watched but the similar storyline there since , PCKNMCPW is based off the same drama/book that Begin Again is made off of. There will definitely be changes as the second couple storyline is definitely going to be more developed both secondary couples are already cute anyways.

Spoilers:
The FL does not want a child.( Thai)
There is an annoying third party.( Thai )
Thai Both hate each other at start. ( ML in begin again both in Thai)
Mutual developing love.( Both)
They met on an island as opposed to normal meeting in Begin Again.( Thai)
Strong but Spoiled FL In Thai Strong not spoiled FL in Begin Again.
Both get married for same reasons though/forced marriage/pressures.(Both)
Both obviously have multiple couples.(Both)
Both SML will find love.(Both)
Both already have chemistry. ( Begin Again has more in my opinion but its not finished yet).(Both)
Both are cute and serious in there ways.(Both)
Great start(Both)

RECOMMEND: If you know how Lakorns are and if your waiting in between episodes.


Will update again after Begin Again is finished!!!

Childhood love story that bring the couple together and both drama the ML profession is doctor. There also friendship and family members support the couple relationship

- In both shows, the dominant female leads elects the male lead to be her child's father.
They just firmly say "give me a child" and that's it, while the male leads disagree at first because they believe love should be involved to constitute a family.
- Female leads are in an urge to marry/have a child due to someone else advice whom already passed away.
