Both stories unravel after a murder has occurred, already pointing fingers to obvious characters, the characters tell the story about how they met the women who were murdered at the beginning, both have similar plots such as an affair due to their child’s learning and different assumptions of who the killer is, the suspense leaves you craving to know more

Both series focuses on a group of mothers and their children’s education.
Both series features mothers with a secret.
Both have a mystery/ crime event.

Secret Mother is more about the FL finding her sister.

SKY Castle and Secret Mother both have parents who entrust their child's academics to a "coach" who has a mysterious side to them. Both shows' coaches are working for the families with hidden agendas. The shows both also have mothers that would do anything for their child. One of the biggest differences, though, (other than the intentions behind each coach) is that Secret Mother focuses more on one family rather than multiple ones like SKY Castle.

In both, female leads come from Canada to Korea to uncover a mystery involving their sisters. Achiara is a much darker show than Secret Mother.

- both female leads suffer from trauma from what happened from the death of a child. causing their lives and jobs to turn upside down
- the female lead is perceived as 'crazy' or mentally ill by other characters

Beginning is very similar. Also both involve ahjummas uncovering mysteries and secrets involving their families. Mistress is a much darker show btw.
