Aquele Tolo (2009)

The male leads seem similar, ordinary men who are a bit simple but kind and warm hearted. Both are also comical characters.

Both are really underrated, but still great dramas, that you shouldnt miss. Both are cute, with nice romantic storyline :) HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

Both involve contract marriage and are pretty much non-explosive dramas that allow a very nice and enjoyable watch.

...both are dramas about nice guys falling for celebrity girls. Heartwarming, sweet and original romance dramas.

A female celebrity enters a contract marriage with a super kind postman who has always liked her. Very heartwarming.

an ordinary guy and celebrity woman.

• In both the Female Lead is a popular actress
• In both there's a contract relationship
• The male lead in TF is not a celebrity while the male lead in FW is is a doctor and heir known for how handsome he is
• In both the leads end up together
• In both there is a love triangle
I personally like FW more but TF is not that bad

A capable but unpopular showbiz manager, Kazuko, struggles to groom a younger, new male actor, Ryo, whom she had scouted, into a star. An unmotivated Ryo slowly becomes conscious of the pleasures of acting. Bonds of camaraderie grow, and before long, love gradually blossoms between them.

Both feature a rich / popular girl and unpopular unattractive guy, and both have a up beat happy ending.

Male lead is part of a ploy that benefits the female lead. Despite having some untrue form of a “romance” female lead is already in a relationship with a guy who looks good on paper. Male leads don’t take well to being used.
