Both dramas feature a romance between characters from different social classes. In The Midnight Romance in Hagwon, the female lead Seo Hye Jin is a respected cram school instructor, while the male lead Lee Jun Ho was her former student. In Encounter, the female lead Cha Soo Hyun is a chaebol heiress, while the male lead Kim Jin Hyuk is a young man from a modest background.
The dramas explore the challenges and complexities that arise when people from different social backgrounds fall in love. They navigate societal pressures and personal desires as they pursue their relationships.
The Midnight Romance in Hagwon is directed by Ahn Pan Seok, who also directed the 2018 hit drama Something in the Rain, which explored an age-gap romance and societal taboos, similar to the themes in Encounter.
Both dramas feature a second chance at love storyline. In The Midnight Romance in Hagwon, the male lead Lee Jun Ho reenters the female lead's life after a decade, hoping to rekindle their connection. In Encounter, the leads' chance meeting in Cuba leads them to pursue a relationship despite the odds

Both have a plot that centers around fate. One's happiness/luckiness is the other's misfortune/unluckiness. The main characters of both dramas experience what it is like to be in the other's shoes.

Both fall under the “maturer” side of romcoms, and I compare these to her private life and miss night and day as well


So basically they have great romcom mls who are grownups without extreme added conflict of petty bickering and misunderstandings

There should be a category for dramas like these, mature romcoms, ie it has characters that are more on the mature adult side rather than the young adult adults


So it has the comical aspects of romcoms but the characters also have nice mature characteristics, calm, sweet, understanding, even through misunderstanding bickering they’re still respectful and reasonable

Both miss night & day, and my sweet mobster aired at the same time and both are super sweet and chill romcoms

It’s like dramaland finally decided to invest in sweet calm mature yet cute mls??


Both fls are a bit too, sweet, ie super bubbly but not total annoying airheads like the usual fls

In taxi driver, we can see a group of people punishing criminals in their own way. In vigilante only one person punishes criminals in a far more violent way. Both does the job that law couldn't do.

Both are about being in the police department as a woman. They are both comedies and don't take itself too seriously. If you liked one you'll like the other. One is a Japanese drama and one is Korean movie.

Fresh, mature, and honest, romantic comedy genre!

Both MLs are popular, successful (and members of SexyZone in rl), both FLs are sort of lacking in confidence, and the ML and FL in both were childhood friends with friendship turning into romance.

I think it's similar to a good day to be a dog
When the FL kissed the ML
And the FL family is cursed to turn to dog whenever they kiss someone

Although not related to main lead's marriage, both ML & FL go back in time without each other's knowledge and face lot's of secrets their parents kept and solve many problems on the go.

Romantic BLs with mythology theme and a strange connection from their past lives where they were having visions from the past.

Both have a collection of episodes that are loosely tied together rather than one main lead and a story line that continues through all the episodes. In both, the episodes each have a sexual encounter, and tell the story leading up to that encounter. The encounters are pivotal , either at the beginning of a relationship or in mending a relationship that was not working.

Overall, they are pretty different however Yuri (Hi Bye, Mama!) and Chu Ying (Hikaru no Go) are both ghosts who are unable to leave the mortal world and move on to the afterlife because of their unresolved yearnings.
