Both dating shows gather a pair who are 'friends' in a beautiful villa where they can meet new people they can fall in love with or confirm/ignite their feelings for their 'friend'.

For the differences, in Love & Joy, we got the Enjoy couple interacting with the participants and facilitating the program meanwhile in Edge of Friendzone, they have a panel who reacts to their interactions. They also have their own unique system of participants showing interest with the person s/he chooses.

Atm, Serious About Marriage (SAM) hasn't been aired, but just reading from the description, this show reminds me of Love is Blind: Japan (LIB:J). Both dating shows have the end goal of marriage and after liking the endgame couple(s) for LIB:J, I am excited for SAM.

They differ in the format and duration since LIB:J has 10 days to know their partners blindly (through a pod with a wall blocking them from seeing the other person) and after the proposal, the formed engaged pair will get to know more of each other by living together for 3 weeks. Then after that, they can get married. So in contrast to LIB:J which had a duration of month for the participants to date, I think SAM would be less rushed but tbh, it is still kinda rushed?. But I'm here for the journey.

These are both dating shows that is centered about people who has a particular secret that could hinder (or have hindered) relationships from moving forward. They joined this show to find someone who can probably accept who they are WITH that secret. In Pink Lie, they have to lie about it and probably it gets revealed later on, but in REA(L)OVE, it gets revealed one by one by the person (when the production says so) to the other participants and don't have to lie.

Tbh, I don't recommend REA(L)OVE because it is just horrible way of presenting their participants.( I just added this recommendation because of the same premise. )Being in this kind of show itself is already making yourself vulnerable but RL also demean the participants who joined, like they are the joke. So if you want a terrible and dehumanizing version of Pink Lie or just want to get mad at people you don't know, then probably you should watch it.

Atm, I only have watched 2 episodes of PL and it presents the participant's secret with more sensitivity and offers acceptance. I am just hooked. Recalling the secrets from RL, I am curious to know the secrets of the participants of Pink Lie. By ep 2, the viewers already know 2 out of the 7 participants' lie.

These are similar in a way that they are both dating shows that test the premise of falling in love with only the inner selves of the other person. This is done with the participants interacting first with each other without seeing the other person's face.

In Love is Blind Japan, they can still hear the voice of the person they are dating but in Love In, they have avatars (which are hired actors) who are going to interact with each other. The duration of their getting to know each other part also differ. Since Love is Blind has the end goal of engagement, that show has longer time. Meanwhile in Love in, they only had 3 days.

Both are entertaining , but I am really liking the concept of Love In so much. You have avatars and actual people who instructs them what to do. There are times that the avatars looks enthusiastic but the real person is unattached and vice versa. I just watched the first episode and now I just want the next.

The plot of the two films are very different but the atmosphere of these movies are very similar, very reminiscent of the old Japanese and Korean movies I used to watch during my teenage days. Be With You itself is a Korean adaptation of a Japanese drama, that's why I recommended the film instead the drama series. Anyway, both are family-oriented dramas with swoon-worthy teenage romance.

I am recommending Soldiers to those who watch H Club only because of the competition/challenges that tests physical fitness. Soldiers is a combination of tactical and fitness while H Club is a dating show and fitness. Nevertheless, both has inspired me to work out.

This has the same chaotic energy levels. Both involves a 'contractual' relationship, a ML who is rich and very 'confident' and a hardworking FL. I hope I can say so much more but I can't since I am writing this since only 1 episode of WTV just aired. However, I am happy to say that a new drama can occupy the emptiness left when ABP ended.

It is similar that the main characters of both dramas are reputable professionals of law and something will happen that will put a dent on their career. Both also teaches in a law school. The drama will revolve on the their relationship with their student/s although it may include romance in "Why Her?".

The overall atmosphere of these dramas are very different, but in terms of friendship, both of these dramas feature a sisterhood that I really long in a drama. In Be Melodramatic, they have been friends for a long time already and have been living together. Meanwhile in the The One and Only, they are living together in a room not by choice but by circumstances, but are already united by one secret. I really like these sets of friendship because of how different their personalities with each other.

Having mentioned this by a couple of users in the comment section, I agree that they are similar in certain ways. Even though The One and Only just have released 2 episodes, I can already similarities in the main couple. They are both scarred by their traumatic childhood that heavily influenced their present lives. In JBL, it seems that the main leads are positively influenced by their childhood (like how they chose their career) but I can not say the same for the couple in The One and Only.

They are similar in that they have to "act" in a sense. The acting in these two Japanese reality shows differs such that in The Future Diary, the couple is given missions through the "future diary." It is acting, in a way, since those are "planned." However, in Falling in Love Like a Romantic Drama (DoraKiss), the couples have to act, and the best couple has to shoot a mini-drama ending with a kissing scene.

They are both dating shows. They differ in that in Single's Inferno, they are just stuck on an island meanwhile, Love Me Actually, they have a different place where they can date.
