The core of this drama is very similar to Hapimari. They begin a fake marriage due to outside factors.

ML is slow to realise feelings. Third-party serves as an incentive to get jealous.

Imagine it's also the same FL.

To conclude, they are very similar but I did prefer Hapimari for some reason.

Both of them are based on Josei mangas. While "Please Love the Useless Me" has a more funny approach, "Hapimari" is a bit more serious. Both of girls are in a difficult financial situation and the main lead help them.
Also, Dean Fujioka is the main lead in both of them!
Enjoy :D

Both of them are based on manga and have marriage as a main topic.
However, the main leads personalities are very different.

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!
