There’s a soul swap and tidbits of time travel in Mr. Queen; a modern male’s soul wakes up in a female body where he has to get used to her life as a soon to be queen while uncovering secrets from her past. Whereas in My Girlfriend Is the Man the girl turns into a guy while still having to live her normal life, with a boyfriend and all. Regardless, I’d say that both both dramas dabble in similar theme ; would you still like your lover if they one day turned into someone/something else and does gender really matter over their personality/soul? I wouldn’t say either of these tackle the questions they pose in any grandiose way, so don’t expect anything thought provoking, but it’s still a fun exploration of the theme with quite a few comical moments.
- Both dramas explore the concept of identity, where both FLs undergo physical transformations and get to experience "different" lives through their changing appearances.
Specifically, in My Girlfriend Is the Man: The lead character's girlfriend transforms into a man for part of the story. And the romance evolves through this unusual situation.
The Beauty Inside: The FL wakes up every month with a different body. The drama focuses on how she navigates her relationships and love life while dealing with this constant transformation.
Both shows combine humor with more serious, heartfelt moments. They play with the absurdity of their premises while also exploring deeper themes like love and acceptance.

I found MGISTM to be very aesthetically pleasing to the eye and it reminded me of Yumi's cells. There aren't much similarities apart from the general 'slice of life feel good romcom' vibe (which is really perfect if you need some giggles, butterflies in your stomach, and spring vibes c: )
Both dramas are so sweet <3
Also, although MGISTM is literally bisexual representation, in Yumi's cells there's one gay character who appears once or twice and from what i remember, there is no more focus on any queer character after that.
Don't forget to check the season 2 of Yumi's cells if you've liked the first season!
Happy watching :D

"My Girlfriend Is the Man!" is bisexual representation but not too explicit, so if you've liked it I highly recommend "Love in the Big City" which is about a gay man and his straight bestie.
"Love in the Big City" is a novel that was adapted into a drama AND a movie. Both are about the same story but have different cast, I recommend watching both as they both explore a little differently the story (obviously since a movie is way shorter than a drama)
So if you've liked MGISTM, go binge Love in the Big City for non-censored gayness!
And if you've liked LITBC, you can check MGISTM if you're in for butterflies in the stomach and giggling at the characters' uniqueness and sweetness <3
