Consigli

-Plot is similar in both. Two boys grow up together, eventually develop feelings.
-The chemistry is amazing in both.
-Both, Korean BLs. Two of my all time favorite Korean BLs.

- One of the leads ghosts the other (in TMS2, they were together before one leaves whilst in ODS, the lead confessed and left)
- the leads passionately pursue the other
- TMS2 is a bit darker whilst ODS is lighter but the chemistry of the leads in both shows is very natural

- both leads meet after a long time
- one of the leads return back to their hometown after a successful work life
- in both shows, there is a side couple involving a single parent
- There is a close relationship shown between the child of the single parent and the new partner

Leads are both abused since a child and was helped by someone who actually has their own hidden struggles. Both also experience an abusive relationship. I kept thinking how this had the same formula as Wandering but a toned down version which leaves you with the warmth of a found family. Wandering on the other hand had a more solid plot but everything stays in the dark—it all just gets heavier. If you're the type who like movies that deal with serious topics that's got top notch actors and a seasoned director, you might want to try Wandering.

- In both one of the partners ghosts the other
- in both one of the leads is passionate in pursuing the other
- both delve into deeper topics like mental health issues
- both have angst

In both dramas there is a very uncontroversial female judge that is bras, outspoken and following her own rule of justice. While Judge of Hell is also focusing on a supernatural aspect ,that Miss Hammurabi is not, they are still quite similar in terms of theme, characters and feeling.

Both dramas are about a set of people that have to fulfil a specific amount of demands in order to be spoken free of their sentence. In both dramas this group of people is either gods or grim reapers that are following/guiding through the judgement of people that have sinned. Both are supernatural stories dealing around death, the after life, hell/heaven, sins and forgiveness.

In both dramas judges sentence criminals to experience their own crimes in the role of their victims. Only difference is that Judge from Hell is having supernatural elements while Drama Stage: The Fair is based on a new technology making this possible.

In thai drama Great Men Academy, a girl turns into a boy in order to pursue her love interest. Here an overweight man realizing his bleak future, gets his wish granted and turns into a beautiful woman.
