At the first few episodes of 35 sai no shoujo, I was reminded of "Thirty but Seventeen," but as the story unfolds and the attention was on the family, it reminded me a lot of "My Unfamiliar Family".
Story wise it is a bit different (a family member's accident affected the whole family can be a common factor though) but the vibes and the focus on family was what reeled me on both dramas.

Both of these dramas focus on the love life of the children of a large family. In both dramas one of the children is a player, the other has never dated before, and another is going through the hardships of marriage.
Unfamiliar Family and Father is Strange both focus on a secret that the parents of the families have been hiding for years.
Father is Strange is a really cute and fun drama to watch. It goes over the love of siblings as well as the struggle to accept those that you love. It has the added bonus of jokes about homosexuality.
Meanwhile, Unfamiliar family is a little darker. It goes over the hardships of being considerate towards your loved ones. It also shows the hardships of a being a closeted gay.

Both of these dramas focus on the mysterious past of the parents.
My Unfamiliar Family takes a look at a dysfunctional family who are forced to get closer when the father gets in an accident and loses his families. As the children of the family get into relationships or leave/divorce old ones, the parents struggle with their past of betrayal, cheating, and unexpected pregnancy.
Meanwhile, Once Again is of a lighter tone. It goes over the budding relationships between the children of the family (who have all been married once and are all divorced). The father of the family lost his sister a long time ago and believes that she is dead. However, she is actually alive and the drama follows him as he uncovers the truth behind how she disappeared.

Graceful Family is way shorter than Unfamiliar Family. And while Unfamiliar Family is all about suspense and is a slow-burn, Graceful Family is all about angst and a rushed romance. This may also be attributed to the fact that Unfamiliar Family is 100+ eps while Graceful Family is only 16.
The plots of these two is totally different, however, they have one subplot that makes them similar.
!! SPOILERS AHEAD!!
!!DO NOT READ IF YOU DO NOT WANT SPOILERS!!
!!YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!!
In Unfamiliar Family, the eldest daughter gets a divorce because she finds out that her husband is gay. This discovery destroys bother her and her husband and they struggle with their separation and coming to terms with his true identity.
Graceful Family has the same plotline. The eldest son of the family is a transgender (so he's actually a female who likes males). When the wife finds out, the two divorce.
Bother of these subplots also have the similarity of the wife desperately trying for children but her husband not cooperating.

VIP is a drama less than half the length of My Unfamiliar family. However, they share many similarities.
My Unfamiliar Family is a family drama so it focuses on all family members. Some of these family members have/are cheating on their partners/spouses. And, one of the family members is suffering from depression after getting a miscarriage.
VIP is a drama that focuses on a woman who knows that her husband is cheating on her. The whole drama, she is trying to find out who her husband is cheating with. The wife (the main character) also suffered from a miscarriage.
Both of these have the added bonus of having SHIN JAE HA in them. And in both, he plays the important role of accidently uncovering secrets and comforting the main characters in times of need.

Both of these dramas, although from different countries, center around family. Dear Mom has more episodes than My Unfamiliar family and different issues surrounding the family, but overall I felt a similar feeling. From dealing with family drama to each of the family member’s dealing with their own struggles. Divorce, Relationships, Friendships, Romance and Family are all common themes in these two dramas! I enjoyed both very much and hope you will too! *This is my first recommendation! *
