10 dramas/movies with ____? #4

10. The Master's Sun [FL from The Legend of the Blue Sea]

Someone else can pick the next topic

 AthenaTheStorierX:

4) Gameboys 2/Gameboys The Movie - the leads are watching “Die Beautiful”

5) Girlfriend Project - the leads are watching Love Tech

6) GAP - various characters are seen watching Secret Crush On You throughout the drama

All good but I think you need to swap dramas, I was looking for those dramas and movies they are watching :) 

2. The Forbidden Flower - makes many subtle references to Meteor Garden 2001 such as ML's bandana (he looks like a carbon copy of himself from 20+ years ago!) and the lights hung up in his greenhouse (similar to how he hung up lights for the FL, Shan Cai in her new home in MG).

4. One Spring Night - I watched it after Something in the Rain and it felt like remade version of this drama. Both are noona romances, same ML, same FL's mother, also some of support characters. Both FLs face pressure from family about marriage and have secret relationship with ML. Similar OST with recurring performers. 

6. Law School- I'm not sure but it feels like the spirit of the story is closely linked to How to get away with murder. Law school obviously takes liberties with the original story but i would not be surprised if it was inspired by the American TV show. 

8. Romance Is a Bonus Book - In many ways it felt very similar to Younger

9. Island (2023) has a strong resemblance to two dramas:

- Bulgasal: Immortal Souls

FL is mortal woman who was killed by ML in her past life. ML is dangerous supernatural creature who lives as a recluse. ML and FL were star crossed lovers. ML was looking for reincarnated FL, she can be recognized by significant scar. Villain is worse version of ML, they are same species but ML is closer to human, hence he's a weaker than a villain

- A Korean Odyssey

FL is chased by demons and ML always shows up when she's in danger to rescue her. Due to prophecy only FL can save the world

Thanks, i have one!

10 that use actor/actresses real names (doesn’t have to be the main leads and doesn’t have to be used for the actual actor /actress)

1. A Romance of the Little Forest - Yu Mei Ren (FL‘s name) is Yu Shu Xin’s nickname in real life and her delivery alias is Mrs. Zhang, which I think is a nod to Zhang Bin Bin’s real name

2. Miss Ye in Wonderland - their pet llamas are called Run Ze and Mei Han, after the leads’ real names
