Same lead actor, both workplace based romances. Lead is cold hearted (but totally not cold hearted) CEO in both. Romance very sweet in both.

Both Refresh Man and What's Wrong With Secretary Kim have few similarities, such as leads knowing each other when they were younger, the CEO/ employee relationship, the impossible to please boss, rich man, poor woman trope. The reason I do recommend Refresh Man if you liked What's Wrong with Secretary Kim is they both are written well despite their overuse of certain tropes and cliches.

Both focus on a lot of office dynamics and changing the company to be a better business. Both are focused on becoming better people.

Childhood friends-to lovers with the ml falling first for the fl. Bickering, misunderstandings and living close to each other tropes.

Similar dynamic between the main leads. The main male character is the boss, the main female lead is a subordinate. They have real trust between them, and when they finally get together, they don't break up.
Lucky's First Love is maybe a bit more light-hearted, but Refresh Man is also quite light.

Has a plot where the ML &FL know each other from childhood and are always bickering with each other.
ML is FL's boss in the work place.
ML helps FL to grown in the work place behind the scenes.

Refresh man and love is sweet are pretty similar judging with the description of the drama for love is sweet both dramas have childhood friends that meet again but end up having a strange rivaly feeling. Also how they both end up meeting each other in a company both dramas also talk about how the two friends were very close Leslie both grandma had more of a childhood friend relationship but then when they both meet again they have more of a hate love relationship

Another T-drama starring Joanne Tseng. Includes lots of high school flashbacks to show the central romance developing. Also balances storylines between professional and family life, with a lot of cute family scenes.

- Male and female leads were childhood friends.
- She was considered a goddess and he wasn't (in one case he was chubby and in the other one he was a thug).
- They meet again after years and whilst the female lead is doing ok, he has becomen a freaking god in work, visuals and reputation.
- The male lead becomes the female lead's new boss.
- They are both set in a work environment.
- The female lead's company is doing bad and the male lead was hired to help.
- They are about the same length (16 and 17 episodes).

DIFFERENCES:
- While in "She Was Pretty" the male lead doesn't recognize the female lead and she tries to hide the fact that they were childhood friends at all cost, in "Refresh Men" he knows exactly who she is and he decides to actively influence her life.

Both drama contain office love.
Also got emotional confused.
Love rivals are also have close relationship with main lead.

Hello Again is a fresher take on Refresh Man.

* set in Taiwan
* high school classmates turned to colleagues
* male lead is the company head
* female lead was top student but turned out not-so-great and needs to be nudged by male lead to succeed
* the work both has to do with boosting sales

It kept me guessing a lot, and I loved seeing the relationships slowly unfold throughout! They're both very well-acted, and I just loved both these series!
