Ela Era Bonita (2015)

- both are romantic comedy genre
- leads in both drama has that cold attitude vibe
- in both dramas, the male lead are not fond of the female lead because of their indifference
- male lead learns the true definition of love; not based on looks or indifference between one another
- gives that comfort feeling

In both the dramas, the female lead changes from an ugly duckling to a beautiful swan. The women are strong willed and confident which also contributes to attract the male lead.

In both dramas female lead had crush on male lead but it didn't end up well and after growing up they meet again in office setting.

-Both Male lead and Female Lead's were childhood friends
-Both Male Lead used to be overweight as a child but grew up to be really hot.
-Both Male lead likes Female lead since childhood, though in she was pretty the female lead liked him since childhood too
-In She Was Pretty, Male lead does not recognize female lead, in My Little Happiness It is the female lead
-In She Was Pretty, it was female chasing after male...
-In My Little Happiness, Male lead chases after Female lead and potentially falls for her first ( Since its unknown if she liked him since Childhood too)
-Both leads have the same feel
-Both leads become a cute couple after knowing the truth
-In She was pretty, Second Lead Syndrome hits hard
-In My Little Happiness, second couple syndrome hits hard xD...
-In My Little Happiness, there are very very very toned down Love Triangles xD
Watch My Little Happiness if you don't want to cry your heart out for Choi Siwon and also don't want to slap Female lead lmao, with cute couple and also watch My Little Happiness for the Second Couple (Who are the best part of My Little Happiness imo )
Watch She Was Pretty, For a great Second Male Lead, A pitiful and nice Second Female Lead, cute chemistry with both Second Male lead and Male lead, a Jerk male lead, and Oblivious Female Lead
-She Was Pretty also has a better moral message in My Little Happiness uptil now all I see is foreshadow hot kisses but no true moral and is a steamy romance
-She was pretty has more of learning moral to it again : )
-Both are good, I prefer My Little Happiness because of Second Couple Syndrome and the reason because She was pretty made me avoid dramas with love triangles lmao.

I recommend this both drama because , Male lead and Female lead
try to solve problem
In one drama explosion and another student murder/suicide

They both have similar plots: meeting with a past lover/ crush and years later the female leads looks have deteriorated and meets the lead guy again.
Get Karl was a comical drama just like she was pretty.

Because of second lead syndrome wish fulfillment. Not for Shin Se Gi sadly...but there was another second lead in this show that had great chemistry with the female lead. And they play first leads together in She Was Pretty. Although that show also has a great second lead...so full disclosure: Second Lead Syndrome (SLS) can not be cured. #sorry-not-sorry

both have unattractive female lead, taking inner beauty theme, and finding first love. Both have cold hearted/arrogant guy who is handsome,cool, loyal, and have a good heart inside

The story is pretty similar. The main character is considered not attractive compared to her sister and because of that her personality is shy and awkward. However, because she shares a name with the popular guy in her class she catches his attention. Because of her quiet demeanor she becomes the target of his bullying but things start to shift when she stands up to him. He still "messes" with her but in ways that create opportunities for her true personality to shine and in doing so they begin to fall for each other.

Main plot point shared is that the male lead doesn't like the female leads personality in the beginning but it soon becomes apparent that he misjudged her and he finds himself drawn to her.

What they have in common :
Both are Romantic Comedies. Hwang Jung Eum is the leading lady in both. In both, leads met as children and meet again as adults, although there is more of a connection as children between the leads in SWP. Both follow the typical Rom/Com formula (beautiful but unfriendly male lead/ hard working female lead). Both have wonderful second leads.

The two dramas have the same premise. Both FL work for a magazine company and deal with hard headed bosses. Though for Oh My Boss, the plot is not toxic like She Was Pretty.

Love the friendships in these! Both are about supporting your friends as much as they are romantic comedies. In both of these dramas, the leads knew each other as children.

Love the second leads in both of these dramas. It is for different reasons but both of the leading ladies have a ruddy unattractive appearance. Both dramas follow the usual Rom/Com formula (leading man is successful and handsome/leading lady is hardworking and has a good heart). In both dramas the leading man is drawn to the leading lady due to his own insecurities/fears.

Imagine She Was Pretty's Kim Shin Hyuk getting his own drama
Park Jae Hoon is carefree and sloppy but a funny sweetheart with beautiful dimples, and yes I'm siwon biased

As a young girl, Hye Jin was impossibly cute and lived a comfortable life with her wealthy parents. Since entering her teens, both her looks and fortunes have drastically changed. She currently lives rent-free with a friend and is a part-time clerk at a convenience store. Out-of-the-blue, Sung Joon, her childhood friend, contacts her and suggests they meet. He is unaware that Hye Jin recently spotted him and knows how fit and handsome he had become. Not wanting to disappoint him, she insists her pretty best friend go in her place. What could go wrong?
After landing a full-time job, Hye Jin is surprised to find out that Sung Joon is her boss. To add insult to injury, he is treating her with nothing but disdain and contempt. This is not the friend she fondly remembers, so she goes about hiding her true identity from him.
