My ID is Gangnam Beauty (2018)

If you enjoy light dramas with cuteness that makes you squeal while watching, you might also enjoy this. Mi Rae and Kyung Suk's romance is cute and heart-warming. Yun Seo and Jung Rok are adorable, as well as Attorney Choi and Dan. Both shows are chock-full of giggles and heart-tugs.

Both have depictions of serious social issues women face in society
Both have Indifferent/cold ML who has a soft spot for FL
ML and FL know each other from their past and are reunited
Both are incredibly well made and enjoyable

In a way Im just using it as an excuse to shove Hit the Top down peoples throats.
But I also think whilst them both being very different they have a similiar feel to them, both are in their own way, dealing with being in your early 20s and I could very easily relate to both dramas.

Also obviously Cha Eun Woo as Do Kyung Suk is in it, playing as MJ.

This series tells the story of Kang Mi Rae, a girl once bullied for her looks. As a result, she became insecure, cautious around people and withdrawn. However, Mi Rae decides she wants a fresh start away from bullying and gets plastic surgery to transform her face. When she begins university, she meets Do Kyung Suk from their middle school days, who sees people for what they are on the inside and not the outside; he then becomes attracted to Kang Mi Rae.
As Mi Rae begins to get teased once more and labeled "Gangnam Beauty", the cold, aloof but kind inside Kyung Suk becomes the one person that stands up for her and in the process, Mi Rae begins to recover her lost confidence and discovers that true beauty is not on the outside.

both revolves around mentel illness and finds the seloution at the end how it's hard to meet people and be comfortable around people i felt the samlitry in the end when the get over their fear of people

Well about he makeup think its not that similar but beauty is the most imp in both.
Female lead seems to be poor and bullied by others at school.

Same vibes on the first day of college there is like a celebration.
"most handsome in school" ML
University vibes
The FRIENDSSSS

Both deals with relationships, family problems and friendship. They have similar vibe and you can easily understand characters because they have problems like we, ordinary people have. Also I feel like they are both healing dramas, if you know what i mean:-).

Both are centered on university life, with an antagonist who seems kind and friendly but she is just jealous and wants to steal her friend's boyfriend

In both dramas the female leads are not satisfied with their looks so they want to go through a tranformation, also the male leads help them to be more confident.

- college setting
- MLs have a similar feel. They are both attractive, smart, cold people but they like the FL first and a lot.
- there is SFL lead that chases the male ML but he dislikes and mistrusts her and makes it very clear (I actually think that the SFL in professional single is more creepy because of the way she follows the ML even after he makes it very, very clear he does not like her even a little; as even just a human or friend. She feels like a stalker to me at times).

Serinuma Kae is a chubby high school girl who loves BL manga. One day her beloved character dies, and the girl falls into depression. For a long time, she cannot even eat, which leads to significant weight loss. But to her own surprise, the updated Serinuma becomes very popular at school, and she immediately has four handsome admirers at once.

- 1st lead is given a second chance in life and will live it fully
- FL is discreet and lacks confidence at the beginning
- University life
- ML and FL have known each other from previous schools
- ML encourages the FL in her growth ...
- ... and falls in love with her in the process
- Both shows are about self-acceptance and going through prejudices

Both dramas are about women who change their entire image with plastic surgery. Both are depicting the struggles of love and life that these women face, especially focusing on their learning how to slowly accept themselves, overcoming criticism using their own strength and value, and standing up to their fears and inner doubts.
