Although Miss Gu is a cdrama that isn’t nearly as dark as the glory, nor does it have high quality cinematography BUT it has the following similarities:

The Glory:
FL plans for many years to take revenge & punish the group of bullies that tortured her in school. She gets close to the husband of the main villain and has a well calculated plan.


Miss Gu:
FL plans revenge for 8 years on the group of bullies that framed and ultimately drove her brother into su1c1de. She also gets close to the partner of one of the bullies (moves in across).
And has a step-by-step plan to ruin the bullies.


In both dramas the revenge is both mental and physical and the FLs are one step ahead.
They both waited until the bullies had achieved or are close to achieving their ideal life, to then begin their revenge.
There is slight romance in both too and while both FLs are cold and calculated, in The Glory the fl is traumatized and it’s more about physical school violence.

The story telling is different but the female revenge saga was similar:)

MY is a small town in summer, where the FL finds comfort and healing in a group of locals.
WN is a small town in winter, where the FL re-connects with her family and neighborhood friends.

Both dramas have a cozy vibe and in both dramas a restaurant/café brings together a group of people and they start to build a life together although they don't plan on staying forever.

WN has a time travel element but only in the first and last episode.

Although very different in the portrayal of romance I find these two dramas carry a similar vibe in terms of ML/FL connection as well as story telling.

The older ML that is somewhat a loner who isn’t an open book, brightens by the presence of the much younger FL that is filled with a youthful, optimistic desire for life.

In "My Treasure“ the relationship is that of close mentor/mentee and ultimately romance with many glances and little things to pick up on, whereas "The Forbidden Flower" is a sensual, sometimes steamy and almost poetic love story.

In both Dramas the mother/daughter relationship is also important, although it takes a more prominent place in My Treasure.

both movies are about pirates & non-pirates treasure hunting together on high seas.
The chinese movie is lower budget but has more of a survival theme.

both movies are about treasure hunting on the sea, pirates and ML/FL on opposite sides working together.

… is like the movie version of the drama.
With the exception that in the movie it’s magic ghat she loses weight and switches back and forth.
In the drama there is a time skip, in the present she is skinny

Both dramas are flirty enemies-to-lovers style with amazing chemistry.

The FL is a 30 something badass lawyer that can kick ass, works in a man dominated company and is ruthless. In both dramas the FL is very casual when it comes to dating & intimacy. They both deceive ML into thinking she likes him + after ML finds out they become enemies & have to work together.

In many ways I find them similar.

Although "Doctors" is a older korean drama, it has similarities:

- both leads are neurosurgeons who meet again as fellow & department head after many years
- before they used to be student & lecturer
- age gap + height difference
- leads are adults (30+)

Doctors has more medical focus and shows surgery. It also has a kickass FL and a ML who is flirty and persues the FL right away after their reunion.

Although Kkondae Intern starts a bit more serious it has the same type of wacky workplace comedy.

- story set around a team in the company
- both have slight romance (KI less than GE)
- funny characters & ridiculous workplace culture

Both are short and very funny

These 2 dramas are on opposite ends.
In "Tomorrow" it‘s all about suicide prevention and they get a message on their phone when someone is suicidal.

In the drama special "Death Deliverer" he gets a notification when people order death (suicide) and delivers a kit.
The kit only works on that specific person who wants to die.
However they do help some people as well to not die.
There are a lot of similarities down to the ML actually being in a coma.

Both are short web dramas about a girl meeting a lot of cute guys who all look like male leads.
Eye candy but not much more to the story ~

Both are s*x comedies all about female pleasure featuring two female characters (not GL).

They have a similar vibe and theme.

Be aware both feature nudity and toys ;)
