Both are s*x comedies all about female pleasure featuring two female characters (not GL).

They have a similar vibe and theme.

Be aware both feature nudity and toys ;)

Both dramas feature a similar scenario where ML suddenly has to take care of two wives and two sets of children - ones from his "current" identity and ones from his "previous" identity. The difference lies in how the situation came about - Miracle That We Met he reincarnated and in New Face he had his identity changed (against his will).

both are about places you shouldnt go, but there is always certain people who decide to go and record everything

Both dramas are about
rape during high school / teenage by a professor or coach
excellent professional female lead
trauma
ptsd
violence against women
family denial and no emotional support to the victim
no emotional support from friends or entourage
coping with trauma
healing

It wasn't until the end of the movie Character that it hit me how similar it is to the drama series Strangers From Hell. In both the movie and the drama our main leads are a crime writers. Both of them gets gaslighted by the killer/s, convincing them that they are the same as the killer which gives them more and more mental destress as the story progresses. The movie and the drama both have this scenario that the two (the lead and the killer) become one, which causes the lead character to go insane. In both shows the story ends with a shot of the lead character in a hospital bed after the gruesome finale.

Both:
- historical fiction (one set in Joseon, the other encompasses late 80s to present time)
- a drama about POWER acquisition, revenge and the seek for truth
- not focused on romance but there are love lines and not everyone was thrilled for that part of the story
- great performance from veteran actors (Kim Hyesoo and Lee Sungmin)
