Both dramas depict unexpected pregnancy due to one-night stand...In both the couple get married with the condition that they'll divorce after the delivery of the baby...in Oum Ruk...the male lead is kind and warm...always trying to take care of his wife who's still in love with her ex...while in Fated To Love You...the female lead is the one trying to get her husband's heart...in short...they depict opposite situations...but both are really funny with many sweet moments!

Both Fated To Love You and Finding Mr Destiny have an element of Fate bringing the couples together.

Both dramas involve an accidental pregnancy and contract marriage that brought the leads closer. The female lead in sunshine happiness wanted to save an orphanage and the female lead in fated to love you wanted to save a soap factory and her hometown. Both female leads are both caring individuals who puts other's needs and feeling first. This traits endeared them to their respective male leads.

To pursue her dreams, Sakurai Kazumi quits her job and goes to New York to study jewelry design, against the objections of her naggy and stubborn but well-meaning father. As part of remaking herself, she changes from spectacles to contact lenses, even though she has problems adapting to them. When she accidentally drops her contact lenses, a mysterious man helps prevent them from being stepped on, but he walks away before she can talk to him.

Some years pass, and Kazumi is on a plane home after receiving a letter from her brother Taku saying their father is critically ill. She has morning sickness and has some run-ins on the plane with a sloppily-dressed man, and it is only when she drops her contacts and the man helps her in a similar way that she recognizes him. She chases after him and asks, "would you like to do some work?" It turns out that Kazumi in her last letter from New York had written that she was in a relationship with someone and that they might soon marry, but since then she has broken up with him, and she didn't want to make her father upset by coming home alone. The man, a freelance journalist named Yoshimi Kaoru, agrees to pretend to be her fiance.

On reaching home, Kazumi discovers that her father is not actually on his deathbed and everyone discovers that Taku had written that letter back to Kazumi where their father says he's happy about the relationship. But the biggest shock comes when Kazumi admits that she's pregnant, and that she wants to have the baby...

--- Talk about "Screwball Comedy"!! ... Both are Hilarious.... w/ Outrageous characters ...and... even more Outrageous Shenanigans !!! ..... and ..... scenes that will literally have you Rolling-on-the-Floor w/ Laughter !!!
--- Both have leading men driven to do Crazy things out of Jealousy...
--- Both have a wonderful , lovable, adorable couple forced to live together due to Ridiculous circumstances.... then love grows , against-all-odds , and overcomes obstacles.

Differences:
--- Fated to Love You is strong on the Romance and love Triangle w/ family involvement .
--- Smile You is strong on the Family drama w/ a surprisingly Wonderful Romance to boot ... etc...etc...

Marriage Contract and Fated to Love You were similar to me and I think that the ending will most likely be similar as well due to the mens feelings.
-Both women are kinda a push-over in a way.
-Due to "conditions" both women must marry a rich man.
-Both couples make a "contract" for their marriage.

Same story line, two strangers who suddenly get involved and after that can't get away from each other.

Just like in "Secret Garden" the main characters in "Fated to love you" are two people who are meant to be but meet accidentally at the wrong time. There will be many difficulties between them, but eventually....?

Both have..

-Leads enter a contract marriage (of some sort or another)
-leads start off in love with someone else
-female leads are awkward and innocent
-realistic relationships and struggles (not intense or melo-y) that are relatable
-romantic comedy that DOES NOT have an extreme melodramatic dip midway
-quickly(ish) developed cute romance
-an unavoidable occurrence causes conflict

As I watch this show, I felt that the FL gave the same vibes as the character of Jang Na Ra in kdrama Fated to Love You (You are My Destiny).

Story is also similar in the following aspects -
- Rich ML/ simple FL
- Outstanding 2ML who treats FL too well
- FL had a cheating ex, ML has an ex-gf who wants to come back
- ML secretly supports FL
- Families that support the ML/FL relationship

Both:

- annoying ex-girlfriend that tries to break up the main couple
- second lead syndrome
Recommended by Asing
it has very sweet romantic moments but also some sad moments. The man is very cool towards the girl. The girl Mi Young is very clumsy and not smart nor beautiful. But she falls in love with the CEO Lee Gun. In the beginning she has to marry this man because of an accident she becomes pregnant of him. It's also very funny. The series gives a similar feeling as It Started with a Kiss.

If you're looking for a different story with a similar feeling and great chemistry between the actor and actress. Then go for this Korean Drama!!!

Saimori Miyo was the unfortunate child of a loveless, arranged marriage. After her mother died, her father brought in his lover and her own daughter, Kaya. From then on, Miyo's life was reduced to that of a mere servant. Even worse, while Kaya inherited the family's psychic abilities, Miyo had none—she was truly the daughter with no merit. After years of being treated like dirt, Miyo has learned to keep her head down, hide her pain, and obey every order. So, it comes as no surprise that she is arranged to be married to Kudo Kiyoka, a military captain rumored to be so cruel that he has driven away every one of his potential wives so far. From a painful upbringing to a painful marriage, that's the future that awaits Miyo—or so she thinks. Contrary to her expectations, her new husband is actually kind-hearted. What really awaits Miyo is a blissful, everlasting marriage full of happiness!
