Quantcast

10 dramas/movies where a lead character has a biological sibling that they did not know about and find out about later. Whether it be from being separated when really young, or one of the parents had a secret second family, or whatever other reason may be. (Full sibling or half-siblings only).

Please mark as a spoiler if it is one.

2. Arthdal Chronicles  not sure if counts but they still don't know about each other being twins but will find out in 2nd season most likely.

3.Chimera  - one of the leads finds out their sister did not die as a baby.

4. Extraordinary Attorney Woo

6. Flower Boy Ramen Shop

7. The King's Affection

8. Drama Special Season 5: Curry

9.  Fairytale (Taiwan) - identical twin

10.  Tale of Nokdu - they don't really make a scene about this being the case as it was unimportant to the main story, but it does happen with nokdu

10 dramas/movies in which two characters switch places or pretend to be the other person . Switching bodies/souls doesn't count. ex- characters were switched at birth and try to 'return' things, swapping families, etc. if the topic is too narrow i can edit it 

1. Autumn Tale

2. The Golden Spoon- They swapped lives/families via magic.

3.Are You Human Too- Not sure if counts because an android replaced him or was a stand in.


To clarify: Do you need both to switch? There are a number of dramas where one identical twin is incapacitated and the other takes her place.

4.  I Am A King (Korea 2012) - essentially The Prince and the Pauper with a prince and a look-alike slave trading places (apparently both well nourished)

These are all the same story (original and remake). Am posting as one entry

6.  Endgame (China 2021) - an unsuccessful actor and an assassin exchange identities. Played by two different actors who do not look alike.

they both need to switch. if only one takes on the identity of the other person, whether that person is dead or alive, it doesn't count. if a twin, for example, dies, but their sibling had switched/been switching with them prior to their death, it counts.
