Similarities:

-Both have leads going through struggles because of that and coming to terms with it.
-Both sets realize that only by being truly together with support can they live each day to the fullest, regardless how short that time is.
-Both are melodramas.

They are equally sexy. You will get butterflies in your stomach watching both. Both female leads to show interest towards the male lead before the actual relationship, instead of acting like they are being forced.

Jerry Yan is the male lead. He has passionate chemistry with the female lead. There are many, many misunderstandings however. It’s a sad drama, but has a happy ending. Jerry Yan is excellent. Very handsome and charismatic. His character is a cold CEO.

Although very different in the portrayal of romance I find these two dramas carry a similar vibe in terms of ML/FL connection as well as story telling.

The older ML that is somewhat a loner who isn’t an open book, brightens by the presence of the much younger FL that is filled with a youthful, optimistic desire for life.

In "My Treasure“ the relationship is that of close mentor/mentee and ultimately romance with many glances and little things to pick up on, whereas "The Forbidden Flower" is a sensual, sometimes steamy and almost poetic love story.

In both Dramas the mother/daughter relationship is also important, although it takes a more prominent place in My Treasure.

In both dramas, one of the main characters gets terminally ill. And they wish to be loved by someone before they die. and they chased that person.

Esta es sobre un profesor que le termina gustando su alumna diferencia de 12 años aproximadamente. Lo mismo sucederia con mi pequeña boda otra pelicula sobre una relacion profesor -alumno,

there's no age gap in IOTNBO but in both dramas:
- the FL is rich (and has a great wardrobe) + has been sheltered (personalities differ though)
- FL pursues ML first and relentlessly chases after him
- has a ML who has things holding him back from starting a relationship with FL (in TFF its age gap and his responsibility as an adult, in IOTNBO its his responsibilities and her personality).
- both have great chemistry between leads
other than that plot varies wildly, but I think it's a good rec to keep in mind if you run out of directly similar ones.

That undeniable natural chemistry can not be beaten in both of these dramas. I won't say that story is similar but rather, a good story, friendship, supportive character, and the main similar part is one lead leaving the other to not let the other suffer in longing. Go..just go watch it. Reading here will spoil the fun.
