Both are affair dramas except for this main reason: THE CHARACTERS ARE TOTAL OPPOSITE. The more you watch them, the more you understand them, the more you reflect about life. Actually, it is not a cheating drama for me. Rather a healing romance drama about four people entangled in a dangerous web just to show people that LIFE IS THIS SWEET. After watching, it will make you ask yourself, "How are you, my sanity? Stop messing my thoughts about life and love." My all-time favorite Korean Drama. No one beat it yet.

Mujeres que sufren y finalmente se empoderan. Ambas te hacen sentir angustia, emoción continua y frustración al ver cómo sufren. Es una historia madura.

Both are about a forbidden love story between a man and a married woman. Both have r rated scenes & recommended if you like secret love affairs type of drama/movie.

I watched the first 3 episodes and immediately thought of 'the world of the married' even thought it may not have the same plot, the female lead in 'My Happy Ending ' seems very alike to the female lead in 'The World Of The Married'

A love story affair with a bit different storyline & plot with mature sexual content but both is worth watching drama. If you like mature love affairs story I definitely recommend this drama.

Both makjang series that deal with marriage, betrayal, secrets and lies. Both have a character that wears a mask, keeps a secret. But one is male, while the other is female. Only recommended for mature audience.

If you have watched Doctor Foster (the TV series where this drama was adapted from), you wouldn't have made a connection, but this Korean adaptation and SKY Castle both have themes of greed for connections to social elite.

Both also have high ratings in South Korea, and their mystery genre may have been also a big factor contributing into it.
