A Linda Li Hui Zhen (2017)

Pretty Li Hui Zhen is the Chinese remake of She Was Pretty and although it changes simple things like names it is still pretty good I recommend you try it for yourself.

She was pretty is simile to She is beautiful and Pretty li hui zhen is the remake of She was pretty.

- male lead is undeveloped and very one dimensional can only be mad and is mostly emotionless
- female lead is very naive and gets easily hurt by everything, while also being indecisive about everything
- female lead has no idea what she is doing
- no chem between main leads
- dragging and weird scenes that are supposed to be emotional but not
- in Pretty Li Hui Zhen, you have second male lead syndrome. with rich man, the second male lead is pure trash so the female lead ends up rlly seeming to have a connection with no one
- workplace drama, but pretty li hui zhen has a more concrete story while rich man is literally all over the place n gives short parts to the office staff

- although time teaches me to love is a contract relationship, there is still tension between the 2 parties
- male lead is bland. not sure if it is the acting but jesus christ can this man react. i mean the dude is worse in time teaches me to love but god i want some emotion for the love of god... how the supporting characters out-act you....
- workplace drama
- gives me the same boring vibe i must say- but the i like the female lead in Time Teaches me to Love better- she has more sense, doesn't end up setting herself up for failure, and can make choices for herself

Chinese version
Li Hui Zhen used to be gorgeous, but years of declining family fortune added much pain to her life, and her looks slowly drifted away. Her friend Bai Hao Yu, on the other hand, was once an ordinary looking guy and grew up to be suave, successful, and immensely likable. So when she comes across him years later and witnesses their reversal of fortune, Li Hui Zhen is too embarrassed to even meet him and instead asks her stylish friend and roommate Xia Qiao to assume her identity.
However, that amazing plan also has a problem in that Bai Hao Yu is actually Li Hui Zhen’s boss, and she now has to pretend to be someone else while working for him. Slowly, even without knowing her true identity, Bai Hao Yu becomes attracted to Li Hui Zhen. Li Hui Zhen's supervisor Lin Yi Mu also starts to take an interest in his new intern. Can Li Hui Zhen break away from the insecurity that came from once being pretty and open up to the man she truly cares about, or will she forever live in fear because she thinks she once was pretty?

Chinese Version, so same storyline for sure.
- RomCom
- Hidden Identity
- Quirky FL Personality
- 2ML Syndrome

This one is not my favorite version, but it is okay :)

Same as She Was Pretty's description although, the Second Male Lead Syndrome might be even stronger in Pretty Li Hui Zhen : ( Lol but anyways Pretty Li Hui Zhen also gives out an life lesson so I mean Ig watch it if you decide to watch She Was Pretty and could bare through the Second Male Lead Syndrome in that one, and if your coming from there watch My Little Happiness for a not so frustrating character, good chemistry and excellent chemistry between Second Couple and want a drama to heal your broken heart xD.

Both are played by talented actors and actresses. The female lead both chased the male lead first. The main female characters are equally persistent. The main female characters both rely on their talents rather than sheer beauty.

-both have at beginning untouchable cold ML's
- ML begins to heal from past and gain adoration towards FL
- FL both keep secrets
- 2nd male interest is actually a pretty good love interest and definitely deserved to have a chance or be taken more seriously

this drama and lakorn definetely aren't too similar and have their different premises. it's also way more drama with pretty li hui zhen than in sao chai hi-tech

Both the series have female character that find it difficult to work due there unattractive appearance.
-Both drama are about transformation from normal to exceptional.
-Both girls are average earners and find rich boyfriends.
- Both set in the work place
-This drama in particular has a hero who is in love with him self.

Both are modern romcom c-dramas with a large portion of the drama being set in the office. They both have a boss/worker type romantic relationship.

The female main leads of both dramas have similar professional paths. They both were not adequate for the company position they miraculously get, but eventually develops and improves themselves to be suitable for their jobs.

Dilariba is the main lead where as Bin Bin is the second male lead and they both had great chemistry.
