"The series revolves around the narcissistic Lee Young Joon, the vice president of a company run by his family. He is very self-absorbed and thinks highly of himself, so much that he barely acknowledges the people around him. Lee Young Joon has a capable and patient secretary Kim Mi So who has remained by his side and worked diligently for 9 years without any romantic involvement. However, Mi So now wants to set her life & focus on herself so when she decides to resign from her job, hilarious misunderstandings ensue. After 9 years of their strictly-workplace relationship, can it now develop in something more?" (Source: AJ at MyDramaList)

The Thai remake of this Korean drama of the same name ~~ Adapted from the webtoon "Kimbiseoga Wae Geureolgga"

Both FL's are the secretaries to the ML's and the ML's seem distant and indifferent initially but grow to care and protect FL's. Similar in the sense that both have a boss - employee relationships in which the romances revolve around.

A competent secretary and a narcissistic boss fall in love while uncovering a traumatic past that causes them to question whether their feelings are real or the result of a shared trauma.

Both dramas have a boss - employee relationships. In WWSK the FL is the secretary to her boss, having worked for him for 9 years she suddenly resigns stating "personal reasons" as the cause - we then are led to the ML lead trying to convince her to stay and not resign in which she rejects and he cannot fathom this - this is the superficial plot of the story - there is a deeper story plot behind it all that connects the two of them and makes it more meaningful.
In ABP she works in one of the "food departments" (they create convenient food and flavors that compliment that can be frozen and re-heated and eaten - that's what I understood about it). She hides her identity from her boss, as she met him in disguise previously on a blind date, she was forced to go on the date by her best friend (her best friend was actually the one that was supposed to go on the date) - now she works at the same company as her CEO - hence the fun and drama ensues.

Both dramas have the FL's initially working for the ML's and FL's then resigning. The ML's then go on to try and convince the FL's from not leaving/resigning, which they both reject, which then gets intertwined into the pursuit of romance. Both are fun lighter hearted dramas.
