Radiant Office is also about the struggles of new people in an office, their bosses, office life, business, etc.
But it is lighter and brighter with a subtle romance. While Misaeng (Incomplete Life) is on the more serious and darker side.

Both showcase healthy relationships between the leads and deal with their emotions in a very subtle and sensitive manner. They are both rooted in reality and deal with prevalent issues without being preachy or boring. It's definitely refreshing to see male leads respecting their partners and giving them their space. They are both slow romances, Radiant office more so but that's part of what makes it so gratifying at the end. They are not your typical K dramas and are hence grossly underrated. They are not for everyone but they're definitely worth your time.
Have similarities because of the role played by Ha Soek Jin? Maybe yes..In my opinion, I think he likes to choose roles as men who look confident in their lives haha.. In addition, both dramas have stories about how the main roles struggle to have a stable job with all the effort they have and it causes admiration and love between them.
Both shows revolves around three interns (two guys and a girl) who enter a company at the same time... and their young boss. The female intern starts raise her voice about the injustices in the company and drags into the fights her co-workers. She and her boss starts to develop feelings one for another.
The female lead is diagnosed with an incurable cancer... Before that she is considerate a loser at her work-field and treated as a doormat. After hearing her diagnosis.. she starts to rebel.
The male lead is somebody the female lead admired at first (because of his great ability at work), but later on grow on greatly disappointed at (because of his terrible temper and attitude towards other people)..
The female lead starts slowly to change the male lead.
Both fall in love.
