Scheming ML, wushia story and scenic camerawork. Alk of these connect the two series. Also the secrets that are hidden from our main leads and last but not least the lovestory. I enjoyed both.

Both dramas involve around an idol boy group and also have an element of who-is-who confusion going on... just in quite a different way.

Both dramas include the hash and the sweet of the life of idol trainees and the chemistry between the group members. Debut contains an extra element of fantasy but in the core it's an idol drama.

Both dramas are similar and of high quality in many aspects from the beautiful set visuals, actors, costumes, music to the story. Of course NIF1 is also there (maybe higher) with the quality but it is too different on the story side. Enjoy!

Similar concept of promoting Korean cuisine abroad by setting up a temporary restaurant/pocha (in France for Olive Pocha and in Spain for Youn's Kitchen) where Korean celebrities do the cooking and serving.

Both dramas take place at the broadcasting station and both have elements of suspense and investigation as well as special medical condition (FL in Pinocchio and ML in FMiYM). Of course both dramas have moments of romance and comedy. There are some other similarities but that would be a spoiler... Both are highly recommended!

Though the plot is different it has similar vibes when it comes to personal growth and giving up one's dream/career as a sportsman and moving on in life. Both dramas also adress the problem of bullying.

Both are a decetcive historical type of drama and both include strong bromance so if you like bromance dramas with detective plot don't hesitate to watch them both.

Both dramas have a "perfect" ML and "mediocre" FL falling in love. Also the ML in both dramas is helping the FL with her studies and they are cohabiting.
In P&C they are both adults and start with a student-professor relationship while in InK they are in high school to university. There is also no contract marriage in Itazura.
I enjoyed both.

Same FL and the overall story is quite similar. An employee and her boss as the OTP a 2ML which gets a cold shoulder. Though I like the main couple chemistry in Love is Sweet more, Lucky's First Love has better plotlines for the side couples and I found the supporting actors more loveable than in LIS.

Same director gave the two dramas a similar visual feeling. Young actors and solving cases is also what makes both dramas enjoyable for similar target group.

Similar in all aspects. Story, characters... Well-directed and with great actors both will bring you the best of swindling genre.
