New Journey to the West is the parent show of 3 idiots in Kenya so if you enjoyed the show on Netflix try out the original show. They follow the same format of:
Travel + mission format.
Both series take the cast abroad and give them games, quests, and challenges that naturally spiral into chaos.
And you will see similar faces through the many seasons of New Journey to the West.
What is nice about both is that there is no heavy storyline — just food missions, sightseeing gone wrong, and hilarious punishments. This makes the shows super easy to binge and laugh along.

bcs the story about family, friendship, neighboor, 80-90 background era, character development tho, timeskip.

Both are set in a school setting
Both have many cute child actors
Both are emotionally heartwarming watches that give the same kind of warm fuzzy feeling

If you like the female lead Amami Yuki, she stars as the main character in both

She plays a lawyer who solves romantic cases in Divorce lawyer

both are surprisingly pacy historical dramas dealing with the struggles of quite ordinary people. while Magnate is older and also deals with palace intrigue and rebellion, Thriving Land deals with a broad time period and the impact of the Japanese invasion and KMT governance. both have appealing central characters who are genuinely likeable, support each other, and you can root for, with strong siblings ties and found family dynamics. both are gems of the 2025 slate.

Both the drama tell stories about mysterious terror in an area and the characters have special powers.

both the series revolve around the injustice with weak and how they get the justice by non- judiciary means

It's literally a prequel so of course it will be very much similar to the season 1 of the squid game

If you watched Squid game .. try Alice in Borderland: Squid Game, but with brains (and better stakes) just watchhhhhh

Couldn't help but keep thinking of "Run On" while watching this special. Both deal with a main character who moves on from a previous field (idol in DSS15:FH, pro athlete in RO) onto a new stage in life. Both are mature and heartfelt.
The ML also reminds me a lot of Yim Si Wan which definitely helped.

Both are romantic love story. Strong bond, royal, stubborn love. Very beautiful couples, they went through life long challenges, however, their hearts has not change. It is just a matter of time, for good or bad, the vow and promises unchange

This drama focus on the turmoil toward the end of the Qing Dynasty with Cixi at the helm. The romance is subtle as it's mainly about how the two brothers' opinions diverge.

- Both ML has the characteristics of animals (cat and dog)
- Leads must work together (Be my cat: to break their contract and solve a case , Husky boyfriend: to hide ML's secret while helping each other achieve their goals)
- ML and FL can't stand each other at the beginning, but throughout the story get to know each other and by the end fall in love
- Both ML's performances are awesome, especially portraying the pet behaviors

Se você gosta da temática Yakuza, The Yakuza Boss's Beloved é uma versnao mais soft de um chefe de departamento que na verdade é o herdeiro da Yakuza,

Just like in DCIM, the detective in Usotoki Rhetoric is very good at finding out the truth about a situation through details. The FL in the drama is a human lie detector and after meeting the detective, starts using her ability to solve cases.
