These dramas resemble one another because they have the same feel. It is a rom-com with some melodrama elements, but it has a lot of humor. The leads are also both very naive; we also have big company background and family problems.

Both main characters struggle with being "ugly" and in the shadow of another more beautiful woman.

A supernatural cousin to Beautiful Gong-shim where the main character, Bong-soon, finds herself inheriting her ancestor's incredible strength, faces the world with bravery and righteousness and desperate to find a job.

She meets the CEO of the gaming company of her dreams but instead of being offered the job in the planning department, she's being paid a handsome price for being his bodyguard.

You get similar feelings watching these two. Especially because same actor plays in both of them and the role he plays is kind of the same.

These both involve a chaebol family losing a child, those children being raised in average/poor families, and finally returning to their birth families.

The main characters are awkward human beings that suffer from social fobia or are just introverts.

When I watched Gong shim I kept thinking that it was a little similar to monster.

Similarities:
- in Monster both leads are lawyers and in gong shim the ML is a lawyer
- both have a mystery solving plot line

I want to say Monster is more about revenge and has less scene that are romance.

The series may differ in plots, but have similar vibes. They're feel-good, quirky, hilarious, comfy, and romantic.

The female leads, Gong Shim and Baek Su-Ji, both struggles with not being beautiful enough and have to work hard to live a better life. They’re also very hilarious, relatable and they have good hearts.

The male leads, An Dan-Tae and Go Dae-Young, both assemble each other - being portrayed as the attractive ones, kind, sweet and funny in their one ways. The male leads also become friends with the rich second male lead, which the female leads originally have a crush on.

The main leads from the series both starts off by being frenemy neighbours, but gradually become more than friends. They both realize that a person is more than their exterior or materialistic belongings.

You will see more similarities, give it a watch! :)

The main male leads both have a slightly sordid history. Ahn Dae Tae in Beautiful Gong Shim has a similar personality to Hedgehog in Panda and Hedgehog.

There's random elements that are similar. Both dramas have female leads that like to play hide and seek when drunk. They also both have a name game to verify compatibility between characters. The pace is also somewhat similar. I prefer Eulachacha Waikiki, but Beautiful Gong Shim is good too.

The lead characters form an odd pair as well as eccentric individuals in Beautiful Gong Shim. It’s similar to Go Go Squid because of the older man/younger woman theme that no one would believe they would end up together. They are as adorable as the couple in Go Go Squid.
