The love story between her and Joon Hyung, both being athletes, is also very sweet to see. They try and balance their relationship along with the hardships of being athletes.

- Their relationship naturally progresses to a romantic one.
- And they have similar cute and fluffy moments.
If these were the aspects that attracted you to WFKBJ, then you might like DDSSLLS, or vice versa

Both revolve around the high school's sports club. However, WFKBJ is mostly all about romance whilst MeN10C is more about sports itself.

The same scriptwriter Yang Hee Seung penned both dramas. Both dramas have wholesome memorable characters and comedy within quirky romance. Oh my ghost has extra elements of ghost mystery and thriller while Weightlifting fairy is more lighthearted and slice of life. Both are enjoyable with solid acting from the cast

- Lee Joo Young plays a role of an elite female athlete in both Baseball Girl (a pitcher) and Weightlifting Fairy Kim Bok Joo (a weightlifter)
- The theme of young athletes striving for their dreams
- Strong female character(s)

Storylines differ but both take place at a university and both have the attractive guy falling for the conventionally unattractive girl.

Both dramas feature childhood frenemies that slowly fall in love.

These two dramas will warm your shriveled dark heart and you will walk away with a new perspective on life.
Both dramas are set in college and demonstrate the beauty of youth, with a lot of great comedy on the side.

Go Back Couple is a bit more serious, focusing on extremely realistic relationships, while Weightlifting Fairy Kim Bok Joo revolves around themes of coming-of-age and chasing your dreams.

Athletic and ML and FL growth and how they just live with the flow working and being a part of eachothers lives. feel good drama

To save her father's basketball franchise, daughter KK recruits a team of misfits, each with inner demons to overcome, to challenge an American team

Similar type of fluff. ML like FL since forever, FL likes someone else but then likes ML after something happens. Similar bickering. FL family in both work in some restaurant.

Similar feel to drama but different plotlines.

Both female leads are the definition of a strong, female lead. They are both determined, dedicated, and do not fit the mold of the cookie-cutter feminine chick, but stand strong behind their principles and do not take crap from the people who want to bully them. The male leads are what every male lead should be as they care about the girl, despite her flaws, and support her while being kind and sweet.

Also, both dramas have fitness as a theme so that is another similarity!

There is romance between 2 childhood friends, though they do not get together. The main couple's relationship and personal traits are quite similar, they give the same feels, they are especially lovey-dovey
