My Girl (2009)

These dramas follow the journey of a young man who take on the responsibility of raising a toddler on their own. They struggle to find work balance and a proper comprehension of a child's heart and mind. Yet through the ups and downs they persist and grow as loving fathers.

Both series are about a single man bringing who suddenly ''decides'' to bring up a young girl. Though the girl in My Girl is the man's own child, the girl in Usagi Drop is the man's niece. Both are also about combining single-parenting and work. Also both are great! :)

Both are about a single man suddenly deciding to bring up young children. The difference is that in My girl the child is the man's own kid, and the twins in Marumo no Okite aren't even related to him. Both are great! :)

Both revolve around a young man having the sudden oncoming of responsibilities and a lifestyle situated within parenthood. Though it's not as comical, it still leaves an impact much similar to this movie.

The plot is identical. Almost too similar, to the point that Umi no Hajimari looks like a total copy from My Girl. Both main characters are young males that were dumped by their girlfriends and years later find out that the ex-girlfriend had passed away. In the funeral both of them find out that the ex-girlfriend had a secret child, a young girl, and that they were actually the father. The details on the stories diverge, but overall they look identical to me. ^^"

It is this time Arashi no Aiba-kun left with a child :)

These 2 dramas have NOTHING similar but same name. Still both dramas are awesome.

both dramas about man who took care for the child .

Both are about the bond between a child and the parent as well as the relationship they have with the other characters. A warm family drama.
- Single father (mother has passed on)
- Idol main actor (from Johnny's Entertainment)
- Japanese drama
- Parents and other characters grow a lot mentally though in different ways.

both deal with challenging kids. both are funny and still acceptable a real story.

Both follow the struggles of single dads raising daughters under difficult circumstances. They have a similar tone and mix of happy/sad moments.

I know there aren't many similarities between the two(in terms of plot) but if you like a drama that deals (or at least partly deals! with the relationship between a father and his newly found daughter like "My girl" you'll probably like "Oh my lady". Both are great dramas and you won't regret spending time to watch them! :) ( and there's also siwon;)
