Both in Dear X (Korean) and Golden feathers (Thai short BL drama) we find the trope of half brother and sister trying to sick together through thick and thin! The brother does his best to protect the sister.
In both dramas, the brother finds solace in another man. In Dear X he is mainly an enemy turned close friend but in Golden feathers, it is the common enemy turned lover.
In both dramas, it is the 2nd ML who is the trigger for the first ML to take action and tackle the sister.
Although the outcome is totally different I both dramas. There are many similarities! I would add on a personal note that you get more involve emotionally and psychologically in Dear X!

A winter-summer romance of He Ran; who was learning about the outside world, romance, and personal growth at a pivotal point of her life. Coincidentally, she met an excellent horticulturist, Xiao Han, who had a rough past and was content on a solo existence. He Ran and Xiao Han found the most important missing pieces in each other. Together, they regained the confidence and hope that life had to offer so where will their story go in a sea of paint and flowers?

Both series have a core desire of revenge and personal triumph/vindication...but in a healthy (and unusual) way. Although - in both series - the characters want to have success with their activities, they never lose themselves in the process: they stay true to their principles, and I loved that, maybe 'cause that's not usual in these kind of series.
In both series there's the found family: people who help each other and become like family.

the .ale lead in ceo's arrange bride looks really similar to the ml in hccc and the vibes in both the dramas feel the same, sweet and cuddly

- Adopted sibling
- Forbidden love
- Brother & Sister bond
- Complicated family
- Sweet first love is way more softer compared to Love & Speed

They both are comforting series with some really good characters (and actors). If I need to watch something not too heavy and difficult to follow, but at the same time not superficial, then these two are the ones I go with.

Both are set in the workplace, with fake relationships and melodramatic dangers galore. If you enjoy giggling and kicking your feet at the romcom clichés of Dynamite Kiss, then you will also enjoy When the Phone Rings.

Both of these dramas are about a man trying to prove his innocence while conspiracies and merciless villains try to tear him down.

Speed and Love reminds me very much of The Outsiders, because both female leads' left their safe, clean environment to join the male leads' dangerous world. They're both very innocent, and naive initially, but (will) eventually matures.

Meanwhile both male leads are orphans, grew up in a low-poverty environment that may have lead to gang involvement, have to fight to earn money, and they also have some car racing involved. Granted, Speed and Love's focus is on drifting rather than gangs, but other than that it is pretty much the same type of vibe.

Esther Yu plays the female lead in both dramas and Mike Angelo features in both.
