Both involve contract marriage and are pretty much non-explosive dramas that allow a very nice and enjoyable watch.

Meanwhile, Choi Chun Hee works multiple jobs as the breadwinner to support her father and younger sister. Her mother was a trot singer and she inherited the voice, along with hopes of being a trot singer herself someday. A romantic relationship begins between these two individuals.

...both are dramas about nice guys falling for celebrity girls. Heartwarming, sweet and original romance dramas.

A female celebrity enters a contract marriage with a super kind postman who has always liked her. Very heartwarming.

an ordinary guy and celebrity woman.

• In both the Female Lead is a popular actress
• In both there's a contract relationship
• The male lead in TF is not a celebrity while the male lead in FW is is a doctor and heir known for how handsome he is
• In both the leads end up together
• In both there is a love triangle
I personally like FW more but TF is not that bad

A capable but unpopular showbiz manager, Kazuko, struggles to groom a younger, new male actor, Ryo, whom she had scouted, into a star. An unmotivated Ryo slowly becomes conscious of the pleasures of acting. Bonds of camaraderie grow, and before long, love gradually blossoms between them.

Both feature a rich / popular girl and unpopular unattractive guy, and both have a up beat happy ending.

Male lead is part of a ploy that benefits the female lead. Despite having some untrue form of a “romance” female lead is already in a relationship with a guy who looks good on paper. Male leads don’t take well to being used.

Both have a very attractive female protagonist,which works in a field in which her appearance matters and she might smile on people no matter what and not-so-attractive male protagonist who is a bit older than her and makes her appreciate herself and smile for real.
