Adaption: Meaning both dramas/movies come from the same written material; novel, manga, or webtoon.
Compilation: Used to refer to dramas/movies that are part of the same series but the plot is not related at all, or in the case of behind the scene specials, talk specials, or recap. The main dramas/movies should use "Original Story".

Sequel: A work that continues the story or develops the theme of an earlier one (The next season of a drama or part 2 of a movie).
Side Story: A self-contained story featuring the main characters that run parallel to the main narrative but is never completely separate from it.
Spin-off: Taking the supporting characters from one drama/movie and make them the main characters in a new drama/movie.
