These two works have nothing in common, except the fact that they both star Ha Suk Jin and Lee Young Eun in main roles.
The subject matter and plot lines of these have absolutely nothing in common, but both are parodies and I found the tone and humor to be really similar. Comedy is all about personal taste, but if you like yours deadpan and absurd with a touch of suspense and enjoyed Going by the Book you should give Once Upon a Time in Saengchori a try. I find them both pee-your-pants funny.
