Both stories are about two male leads who are CEOs and how they become CEOs with the help of two female leads who are very similar, style-wise. Both male leads have health problems and they both go through hardships because of their families and companies. Both have gone through some bad things as kids and in both dramas the two leads are related since childhood. They hate each other at first but change witht he help of one another. Both dramas are funny and in both dramas there are antagonists who try to create problems inside the company. Overall, the feeling is kind of the same!
Because of second lead syndrome wish fulfillment. Not for Shin Se Gi sadly...but there was another second lead in this show that had great chemistry with the female lead. And they play first leads together in She Was Pretty. Although that show also has a great second lead...so full disclosure: Second Lead Syndrome (SLS) can not be cured. #sorry-not-sorry
