Both are pretty different dramas in terms of plot and tone, but if you like the trope of the ML appearing quite cold/indifferent towards the FL at first but inwardly liking her the entire time & struggling to show those emotions over time, you will like either drama.

The dynamics of the main couple in both shows reminded me of the other: famous guy with a cold exterior who actually really likes the FL the whole time but struggles to express it properly at first. Both dramas also deal with the world of idols/celebrities & the challenges it brings.

Both dramas follow an undefined relationship between the FL and a 'playboy' ML who is outwardly affectionate/flirtatious with the FL but has rumours swirling around him. Both FLs have ex-boyfriends who broke their heart. There is a love triangle in both. RT is a much shorter drama.

both are enemies-friends-lovers storylines. the ml and fl immediately get off on the wrong foot before realising they knew each other as kids. they eventually become friends and start to fall in love. both couples have friendly/needling banter. WF is set in college whereas LE2 is set in the working world.

While Healer is more comedic/slightly more light-hearted than FOE, both dramas have well-written action/crime and romance plotlines, and perfectly blend them together. If you like the combination of both genres in the one drama, you'll most likely enjoy the other. Also, both MLs have a second identity, both FLs have investigative occupations (police in FOE vs journalism in Healer), and both dramas follow the main cast trying to uncover the truth behind a past crime that relates to the childhood trauma of one or more of the leads. Both are very high-quality dramas in general.

Both are second chance romance stories where a divorced couple learns to see each other in a new light and begins to heal old wounds.

Both are romances in which the ML has feelings for the FL from the start but initially hides them due to his childhood trauma/inability to open up to people. Both MLs seem quite cold and distant but once they open up to the FL they are adorable to watch

Both are bls in which the popular, friendly ML chases/has feelings for the quieter, insecure ML. In Cherry Magic the MLs work together whilst in HIStory the MLs go to the same school. Both are fun, lighthearted romances (if you stop HIStory before the last couple episodes lol).

Both feature nice MLs/FLs who work and live together to some degree. Both have very memorable romantic scenes, and rely on words and looks more than physical intimacy. Both FLs are strong willed and have a solid sense of self, in a more quietly confident way. In RO the main couple learns to let the other into their lives, whilst in RIABB the protagonists' lives have been intertwined from a young age. Both are very heartwarming romances with good chemistry and interesting side characters.

Both are romantic kdramas in which the main couple work together. Both are relatively uncommon for showing healthy relationships; neither relies on push-and-pull tropes in the second half to keep the main couple apart once they get together. Both couples lean on each other in order to get through their individual issues without any major communication issues. Both are very heartwarming shows.

Although completely different shows with different age ranges (college vs adult romance), both kdramas are relatively uncommon for showing healthy relationships; neither relies on push-and-pull tropes in the second half to keep the main couple apart. Both couples lean on each other in order to get through their individual issues without any major communication issues. Both are very heartwarming shows.
