Both romcoms involve stardom: in TYH female lead is an actress and in ROA the leads are stars of a reality show (without the FL knowing it!)

In both the ML & FL bicker at 1st before they fall in love

Both have a very lovable female lead

Both have also a SUSPENSE element

In both 1 of the leads is keeping a major secret: In TYH that FL is working at lawfirm ML works at only to rehearse a role to make an acting comeback; in ROA the male lead hides his real identity as a rich guy from the poor/ordinary girl female lead and works at a farm associated with the female lead.

How will the other lead react to the truth? Will their love be able to overcome the secret?

Beside the amazing leads, the ensemble cast & characters area amazing too. So many characters to love!

Both are really warmhearted dramas

Similar sense of silly humor in both dramas. The OTP/main leads of MyUnfortunateBoyfriend put in embarrasing situations, meanwhile ALL the cast of Rak Ork Akard (including the OTP at the start) bicker in similar fashion to the OTP of MyUnfortunateBoyfriend.

Also both have a male and female lead from two different worlds who have to overcome their differences.

Clash of two cultures/worlds in both. The female & male lead must overcome their cultural differences (Past/Present in QIHM and poor/rich in ROA), including interesting settings. QIHM the past and in ROA interesting village.

Allthough otherwise very different plots, both feature the touching story of (literaly) poor underdogs, their struggles and their warm relationships.

Both include romances but the romance in Rak Ork Akard is much more in focus, meanwhile Iljimae doesn't focus much on it/develop it much.

Watch both if you enjoy rooting for underdogs and enjoy warm relationships between many people not just the OTP/aka. great side characters.

Celebrity life behind the scenes, features romances also and how those are affected by fame.
TKoD isn't so much about romance though, but features satisfactory romance arc from mid-end of drama. RakOrkAkard heavily features romance.

Love stories in the midst of fame. Perhaps Love about actors who are exes who work together and aren't maybe over each other, Rak Orl Akard is about an OTP who are secretly reality show stars which they aren't aware of (lol).

Both about romances in the midst of fame. TheGreatestLove about actor + former kpop girlband member, RakOrkAkard about two reality stars.

In TheGreatestLove the OTP is critizised/put down by the public; meanwhile in RakOrkAkard the public ships heavily/roots for the on-and-off screen OTP.

In both the public can be harsh to the OTP/the celebrities not treating them as humans, both show people the important lesson that even celebrities are ordinary people worthy of respectful treatment.

In both the male lead hides his real identity as a rich guy/prince from the poor/ordinary girl female lead and works at a farm associated with the female lead.

How will the female lead react to the truth? Will their love be able to overcome the secret?
