The female leads in both dramas are from rich and well-known families.
In both dramas, the female leads are going through a tough moment connected to family. One is struggling to pay off her late father's debt while the other still performs daughter-in-law duties to her ex-husband's family for the sake of her own family.
For the female leads in both dramas, the presence of the male leads is like a breath of fresh air amidst their problems.
The male leads in both dramas are witty, sweet, kind, funny and offer great comfort and support to the female leads.

Older woman/Younger man relation with office(superior/subordinate or boss/employee) setup. Takane no Hana-san is light-hearted though.

The vibes are similar. Both the main leads fall in love, but are unable to begin the relationship. Both the dramas are healing romance slow yet amazingly portrayed.

- Nice ML in both drama
- Similarity between FL and ML of both dramas ergo trapped in the rich family and not having freedom of your own life.
- Well-paced dramas showing complexities of human nature.
- No unnecessary melodrama
- Both dramas will feel like enjoying coffee in rainy days

Age gap. One is Japanese young girl older man, the other one is Korean drama with young man older woman.

Both dramas stars Song Hye Kyo as the female lead that is in a "forbidden relationship". The pace of the dramas are similar as well.

The cinemography is spectulaer especially at the beginning with the views from around Cuba. The graphics, plot and the way the leads portrayed their characters so incredible. I'm currently watching and enjoying each episode thus far. I deffinalty recommend this Drama.

The main similarities between these two are career women meeting younger men, and the challenges the "opposite age gap" leads to.
Where "Encounter" has a bit more plots to it, Sunshine by my side is more "slice of life", I would say.

Both series are about an older woman and younger man meeting abroad and sparking a romance. Encounter is slow-paced while Koi suru Hong Kong is fast-paced and action filled.
Recommended by Lacquered Teeth
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!

1- female with problems.
2- male with open mind and "happy go lucky" life style.
3- love triangle.
4- younger male and older female.
Recommended by Moka
Both dramas have a sweet, slow romance between the main couple, while there is still a man "hovering" around the female lead, that her parents and society expect her to choose and marry.
