The highschool era dynamics between the main leads reminds me of each other but the present is not so similar but both have great actors that will make you want to watch more.
Both have pretend-to-be-a-parent trope and so they have to deal with a lot of happenings while hiding that secret. Both are equally precious slice-of-life dramas that talks about parenthood. For Chosen home we got a gay guy pretending to be a father for the homeroom teacher while in Fake Mommy, she was hired to be the mother in the school setting. No one was forced to do so, thus it's not toxic that way, but they have to deal with the consequence of the lie.
Love Wins All is basically season 2 of Live and Love. Almost the same structure and games. LWA is still airing so I'm not sure if the endgame couples will be satisfactory but it has good couples already. If you want something like this, it's Live and Love, good endgame couple but I am a little disappointed what happened IRL in one of the couples that I shipped.
Since Karma is a collection of stories, one of them reminds me of The Deal of a crime gone wrong, snowballing into a catastrophe of events.
Both depicts the life of LGBTQ individuals but in different generations and period of life. I genuinely like both and I can't pick which one is better but dang 2024 had good representation in Jdrama and Kdrama and I think these two are strong candidates.
Both are airing drama which have 2 MLs living together with a domestic vibe. I am not sure yet about ORT's child in the whole drama but in PTONUG, the children are 'their' own.
Both are homey dramas with adorable kids and fathers/father figure of the family solely tending to children.
If you like the aspect of cooking/preparing food with tan explanation of them of the meaning of dish, you'll like the other. The dynamic between the 2 leads of the two dramas are kinda similar too, harsh ML but getting softer as he spends time and eat food prepared by FL.
Recommending the whole AIB trilogy if you enjoyed the movie, both have these games of survival that remind me that you do not have to fight your battles alone, but I truly like AIB 3 which explored more on what life gives it meaning while for OR, it is not that highlighted why they were in those game itself.
Both are time-rewind trope dramas that examines life if it was done differently. Makes you curious how different or similar you can be when you have chosen a different path in life.
If you want another dating show with glimpses of "single-since-birth" members but with an addition of chaos that is the parents being the panel to comment and react on the participants,' activities, WOKFIL is another dating show to cleanse your palate in a world of Single's Inferno. TBH, I am not confident of having real endgame couples in this one but the commentary alone from the dads makes this viewing a pleasure.
This program have the same youth feeling into it. The cast of 19to20 are of the same age literally 19 going 20 while WOKFIL has the same age group (about 18-26). The most fun in 19to20 is that there is a transition period of becoming 'adults' and most are really sincere in this. In WOKFIL, the most fun is the panel which are the parents (mostly dads) of the cast who are also known in Korean media. It is fun when they tease the fathers about their daughter or son, like, "Is she really single since birth?" and see them reacting, "what is wrong with my daughter?". It's that fun, whether this produce end game couples or not, I'm satisfied.
