More of an Adult romance with Cold CEOs and strong women. Both CEOs deal with a fear from childhood and eventually work really hard to get the main FL. When I finished this series Whats Wrong with Secretary Kim came to mind....if you liked Lost Romance their is a good chance you'd like Whats Wrong with Secretary Kim as well.
Same director, so it creates a similar feel. If you laugh while watching What’s Wrong With Secretary Kim, Because This Is My First Life will make you laugh.
Both male leads don’t believe in love, but end up falling in love.
Funny important person giving advice to the male lead.
Same sound effects.

Secretary Kim has similar vibes to the romanace and comedy, taking on a more refreshing approach of the typical bad/cold guy thrope. However, Cheese in the Trap incorporates more of the sinister sides of liking someone with a hard to deal with personally while Sceretary Kim is more in the romcom sphere.
This is basically the remake/related version of the Korean drama of the same name.
"The series revolves around the narcissistic Lee Young Joon, the vice president of a company run by his family. He is very self-absorbed and thinks highly of himself, so much that he barely acknowledges the people around him. Lee Young Joon has a capable and patient secretary Kim Mi So who has remained by his side and worked diligently for 9 years without any romantic involvement. However, Mi So now wants to set her life & focus on herself so when she decides to resign from her job, hilarious misunderstandings ensue. After 9 years of their strictly-workplace relationship, can it now develop in something more?" (Source: AJ at MyDramaList)

Lighthearted funny stressless romcom
Life is too short for stressful drama. Why spend all that time watching and be stressed? Don’t our lives already provide enough of that?
Summary of the series:
- Light hearted rom/com; series had great flow, no stress watching it
- cute romance
- simpatico characters
- like a little bit of mystery mixed in there with the brothers and kidnapping
- no villains really, no long struggles, calamity or miscommunications to cause more drama and stress
- they try to add more drama 2nd to the last episode hence I gave it a lower rating. Should have extending the ending to let the viewers enjoy they happiness more/ more gratifying.
- its a good story about different types of love/couples getting together
very fun joyful, stressless series: recommended to watch for sure
If you are looking for gratuitous stress/drama, frequent miscommunications, insipid side stories, then this is not for you.

While male/female roles are reversed from Secretary Kim , Encounter also features a romance between an employee and the top executive of the company. The backdrops of both dramas feature filial piety and the chaos that brings with it which creates drama that that makes for excellent story lines. In both there is secrecy and chaos. Both feature the relationships as central theme of the drama. Both dramas are wonderfully written and have excellent OSTs as well!
