In WFKBJ (K-Drama) Leads have a childhood connection and meet again in university. The drama is centered around their university lives and navigating through that. Definitely one of those lighthearted friendship tropes with lots of fun and laughter, and heartfelt friendship moments.
In GSOT (Filipino Drama), the leads are childhood best friends and our ml is crushing hard on our fl with our fl first being clueless and later rejecting his confession by saying he's confused, they too have very sweet wholesome interactions as best friends.

Same as in Friends to Lovers Trope. In FFMW (K-Drama), Ko Dong Man and Choi Ae Ra have been friends for the longest time with our fl crushing on our ml, who is clueless. The also have the goofy, sweet, fun dynamic that best friends have and their interactions are hilarious and wholesome.

Both MLs are princes who are under a curse/poison which makes them transform once a month. Both FLs's souls transfer to a different body at the beginning and live under that person's identity.

Both dramas have similar couple dynamics and sensuality. Both actors are very comfortable with each other and depict realistic scenes of romance and bonding. The series are high quality with lovely costumes and cinematography.

Both FLs are villains who would do anything to satisfy their ambition and their hunger for power. However, they're both extremely complex too, with tragic backstories explaining their motivations.

Same screenwriter, villainous FL, mostly morally grey characters and one of the main stories revolve around a big conglomerate/chaebol. Plot twists in nearly every episode.

The older brother steps up to take responsibility. Both are stories about siblings. In Brother Beat, the mother is still alive. Brother Beat has more comedic tone.

- Both have FLs who are morally grey, crazy, and manipulate various men for their advantage.
- Edge of the seat and unpredictable
