BOTH drama is about TWO best friends transmigrated in a novel they read
BOTH FL have same amount screen time
Both drama have spicy romance

Both Top Form and Between Us really rely on the chemistry between the main couple to carry the story, and it works so well. A lot of the emotion comes through small looks and quiet moments rather than big dramatic scenes, which makes the relationship feel more real. The progression between the characters feels natural and earned, with trust and vulnerability building over time instead of being rushed. There’s also not much filler, so most scenes actually matter and push the relationship forward. In the end, both shows leave you with that same warm, healing feeling because you’ve really gone through the emotional journey with them.

Both series are female-centered series and feature friendship between a group of women. Each of the characters has their own issues, mostly related to their partners, relationships and family.

popular male lead with clingy boyfriendss and it gives the same vibes since it is from dmd with teetrrpor being in your sky too

The Gifted and Hell university have the whole "mysterious school with a dark secret" concept, but they take different paths to get there. Both series focus on a core group of friends navigating a high-stakes, hierarchical and environment where the school administration is definitely not your friend. The Gifted is more of a sci-fi + superpowers version of Hell University. Defo give it a try.

Quite similar vibe: a main lead with a secret and a weird classmate in the glasses that know about it

Both emotional, melodramatic toned dramas prominently feature European locations (Italy for Dolce Amore, Prague for A Secret in Prague). The setting isn’t just aesthetic, it plays into the narrative, giving a sense of distance, discovery, and sometimes escape from their origins. Romantic relationships in both series bridge different worlds, adding tension and depth to the romance.

If you liked Extraordinary, which is a youth, fantasy and teen romance You will find love 'unexpected' as well. Both have a world revolving around the female character scripted by an artist who strives to make her role live.

Both Male Leads were picked up from the snow.
Both Female Leads require the ML to marry into their family.
Both Male Leads had a hidden identity and temporarily lived with the FL.
Both Female Leads are Strong in Character and take charge of the well-being of their Family.

Difference is:
Pursuit of Jade: The premise of the FL being the head of the family was somehow overshadowed by the upbringing and his rank in the military and court; even if at the end he chose to still stay married into her family. It is more romantic in a traditional sense.

Glory: Format is similiarly-paced like a vertical drama (director used to work on vertical drama). Many hints and details can be missed in the first viewing. Great rewatch value. The FL is a matriarch of a business family (tea industry). She, being a domineering CEO, him being a green tea cat; results in a great push-and-pull dynamic during their courting period. The drama asks the viewer to see a world that is flipped (it makes more sense in the first half if we imagine a reversed harem) while challenging the notion of blindly following tradition over following values. The last arc contrasts their world that serves as a comparison to glimpse at how people are shaped by different types of families. If you want to see a true strong FL that is more similarly-mirrored to modern strong women, then this would be your cup of tea!

Both share the same storyline of a group exploring and filming a supposedly haunted real-life location, but the settings differ. 'Salmokji' is set near the water, while 'Gonjiam' takes place in an abandoned building.

- Religion as a Business Venture: Both titles explore the intersection of faith and capitalism. If you find the "religion as a scam" angle fascinating, both will scratch that itch.

- Opportunistic Protagonists: Both features follow grifters or outsiders attempting to navigate and exploit an established, rigid belief system for personal gain.

- The Cautionary Tale: Both function as dark cautionary tales about the destructive power of greed. They don't just rely on "good vs. evil," but rather "desperate vs. cynical."

- High-Stakes Tension: While both are thrilling and fast-paced, they excel at building tension through "heist-like" planning. The protagonists are constantly in over their heads.

- Atmospheric Thai Cinema/TV: If you are enjoying the surge of high-quality, morally gray Thai content, both are masterclasses in tone. They offer a grounded, sometimes gritty, look at modern society while maintaining the mystery inherent in traditional spiritual practices.
