both dramas cover the same themes such as "middle age crisis", "a seemingly PERFECT and SUCCESSFUL family which is collapsing from inside" and "a cheating husband" and...

both lead characters have distanced themselves from others and have a hearing problem, however they can surprisingly hear the voice of just one special person (*_________*)

they are both south Korean reality shows about LGBTQ community!
while Merry Queer focuses on their struggles, Man's romance is a dating show for gay men which is totally a first in Asian dating show history!! ?? make sure to check this one out too :)

both shows are about struggling high schoolers with dysfunctional families who are doing odd jobs to make money

if you like stories taken place in the military campus and the hardships some soldiers go through don't miss this one out either~

as some of you might know, the story of Yoo young chul is real~ this documentary follows the incidents of early 2000s in Korea. if you want to know more about the cases and how criminal behaviour analysis became a thing in Korea, this documentary is totally recommended!
through the darkness and the raincoat killer are both based on the same story

the name Hiru means Leaches! both of these titles are about people who sneak into unoccupied rooms and live off other people. the themes "crime and death" are also shared
