When you step onto the island in Top Star, it's really like a blast from the past. That combined with the humor and the loving and close community relationships (and also love triangle -- meh) are similar to Reply 1988.

the plot itself of "top star going to a tiny village full of lovable characters for whatever reason and learning the true meaning of life/ getting back to his roots" is identical

- both dramas are located at seaside town
- male lead moves to the seaside town to stay away from scandals (top star yoo baek) ; female lead moves to seaside town after going through a series of trouble
- the vibe are somewhat similar as it brings that comfort feeling
- romance between the leads and the side characters
- a story of friendship
- female lead is a diver (top star yoo baek) ; han ji min's character is also a diver
- a cold hearted male lead paired up with a bright/warm hearted female lead

- In both dramas Seoulite have to move to countryside due to personal issues.
-Countryside's people in both dramas are funny and entertaining.

If you love romcom, both of these two share similar vibes. So, while I was watching Business Proposal, I suddenly remembered our silly Top Star Yoo Baek. Both Kang Tae Moo and Yoo Baek are similar with how they are 'superstars' in their own way, and they are hilarious at showing it, and how madly in love both of them with their woman. *Swoon*

a rich and famous person get isolated in a remote village and fell in love with the tenant of the house.

Both dramas are in a province. Both of them have provincial accents. The feels are also very much the same! :) Warm, fluffy and sweet.

It's literally the exact same plot, except the "music producer" in plant goddess is a "top actor" in Top Star U Back whose scandal has led his image to dwindle.

-Both dramas are hilarious for me.
-ML in both dramas comes to live the village from Seoul due to personal reasons.
-MLs didn't like our FLs initially but later fall for their unfiltered character.

In both drama one of our mcs decides to suddenly move to the countryside and it shows the process of finding healing, joy and love in life. Both drama focus on showing the peaceful side of living in the countryside and its people and how stepping out of your comfort zone is sometimes a very good thing.
