leads in both dramas were involved in each other’s pasts some way or another and both go through traumatic events and meet years later. also they both have the same actor who plays the younger version of the ml
They are both psychological dramas in which the ML holds back his feelings to protect everyone around him. The difference is that one's about a psychopath serial killer father and the other is about a antisocial personality author.
Both male lead have a psycopath serial killers as their fathers and being a psycopath son made them have some sort of psychology issue...then the female lead come into their live and give love to the male lead and that make them different and prevent them from following their bad father's foot step... both series show how the male lead overcome their issue with the love and support from their love one.
Both dramas have plots that really key in on past traumatic events that connect the main characters together. Both dramas also use a justice system/police theme for the storyline as well. Come and Hug Me doesn't have any supernatural elements like He is Psychometric, but the emphasis of the male and female lead meeting each other at a young age then solving the traumatic past experience when they're older is strong.
Both dramas deal with a backstory where lead actors were teenagers and then progress to them 10+ years later as adults. In both CaHM and AE, the flashbacks are skillfully woven into the story line. I enjoyed these two dramas very much.
Similarity : In both the shows, the leads have intertwined fate as teenagers and as they grow up. Both meet and grow fond of each other but part because of an accident as kids. And then they grow up and meet again. While the MLs blame themselves for the past, the FLs grows stronger through the trauma, and helps the ML grow stronger as well.
Difference : Come and Hug me is way more intense than Thirty but Seventeen. Thirty but Seventeen focuses on many characters including the leads and is more light hearted and warm. Come and Hug me is a dramatic romance-thriller that fills you with all kinds of emotions.
Final Point : Both are must watch as healing dramas. They are about overcoming the past and giving yourself a second chance.

Very different kinds of dramas but upon rewatching Come and Hug Me, I realized the ML's way of taking care of his sister in the past reminds me of the ML in Ugly Alert.
That and the fact that the ML is misunderstood due to the actions of a family member and there being a murder that caused this misunderstanding makes both dramas slightly similar to one another.
Ugly Alert is more focused on family and has a much slower plot compared to Come and Hug Me tho.

Characters meet and bond as children due to events surrounding a parent's murder. Once leads are together they are incredibly devoted and willing to do anything for each other. At one point one of the main characters are stabbed resulting in the other holding them and begging for help. Happy, healing ending after much tragedy.
