Herança Brilhante (2009)

Same writer, another well written family drama with main lead as "Cinderella/Candy" hard working character with Makjang elements.

The story is nothing a like but they have the same atmospher/concept they are both family dramas, and both of them tell a story about struggling two girls and how they deal with everything in their life... SI is a Cinderalla like story while MLBMS is a story of a Single mother... Both are good family dramas

Nossa como BOF me lembrou SI... Shining Inheritance é um dos meus doramas favoritos. O que achei parecido é o roteiro mesmo.... Muito suspense! Verdades e mentiras disputam o tempo todo. Mal entendidos e desencontros nos fazem ficar tensos. Quando achamos que as verdades vão ser reveladas vem as megeras da história e criam mais e mais mentiras.
Os dois dramas tem história tipo Cinderela com irmã postiça e madrasta. As protagonistas femininas tem personalidade parecidas: são filiais, trabalhadoras e puras com sentimentos genuínos. No começo dá até um ódio de como elas são inocentes e deixam os outros se aproveitarem da bondade delas, porém a maldade que as respectivas mães e irmãs postiças cometem é tanta, que elas por fim se impõem e se defendem.
O relacionamento dos casais protagonistas também são parecidos., se odeiam no começo mas vão esclarecendo mal entendidos e se apaixonando aos poucos, e, uma vez que ficam juntos, começam a confiar muito um no outro. Recomendo os dois apesar de terem bastante episódios

Plots are similar, the heroine tries to find his twisted sibling. They must contend with the intrigues of his jealous relatives, but despite everything finds true love. Even though Glass Slippers end tragically.

Obviously, both dramas are about inheritances. However, what binds these two dramas together are the women who shape and mold these rich boys into men who can truly grasp the importance of the inheritance they have been given.

Both about spoiled family that expect to inherit the family fortune that was built on food/restaurant business. In both, the elder brings in a hardworking outsider... Plus, you can not help but think of this drama, since the titles are so similar. Shining Inheritance is also called Brilliant Legacy. I just started watching Brilliant Heritage, but can highly recommend Shining Inheritance.

This drama follow the lives of two young sisters as they grow from children to adults. They each face many twists and turns before achieving true happiness.

This gives me similar vibes since the girl is so wronged by the evil stepmother. The male lead likes her right away and so far is staying true which is nice. I’m watching in part because I can’t wait for the evil ladies to get their comeuppance!!! They are just so evil!

Plot is very similar poor girl saves a rich elderly arrange marriage etc. When you watch it you going to see the similarities.

-Both females leads are from rich family .
-Similarly, father passed away and had to survive on their own.
-Riches to rags

Both have sudden loss of parent and adjustment to new life of poverty which is made worse by an annoying mother/daughter combo. Both have a nice guy and an arrogant guy fall for the main girl and an elderly person who dotes on her.

My favorite thing about both shows is not simply the Candy FL, but rather the slow realization from the ML that all of his thoughts about the FL are biased and wrong.
If you loved all the scenes with Lee Seung Gi feeling guilty, then try this one too.

In the same vein, I also recommend Thirty But Seventeen and I second someone else's recommendation for Stars Falling from the Sky

Both are melodramas with a lengthy amount of episodes - but both of them are excellent and well worth the watch!

If you like plots where the family is vying for an inheritance, you would love Shining Inheritance. Shining Inheritance has a similar pacing to HK dramas (usually Korean dramas are paced slower especially pre 2015 ones but Shining Inheritance is an exception). Both of these dramas are top tier dramas that focus on family, inheritance, and romance.
