The First Half of My Life and A Wife's Credentials are both dramas with mature couples (mid-30s) involving infidelity / betrayal and divorce. In each series, the 'plot' is about how the main characters deal with the break-down in their relationships and how it affects their lives and their children's lives. The background story of AWC exposes the high pressure on mothers/wives of getting their children into first-rate schools, whereas TFHOML shows the impact on relationships of long-hours spent in a high-pressure business environment (management consultancy). Both series are really well acted and produced.

On the Way to the Airport and Secret are both dramas with a central romance / love story involving four main leads in their thirties. Although the plots are different, there’s a tragedy in the first episode of each that shapes the characters and their relationships in the subsequent episodes. The OTP develop a pretty intense chemistry in each story. They are both unusual romance dramas in creating a strong feeling of suspense without being thrillers. Secret is darker.
