Same with the 2003 version: The main similarity is the on/off mode of our main character and their need to hide their insecurities and personality traits they think that contrast their "perfect" image(if you ask me everyone shows a different face depending on where they are anyway) . Another similarity is the sweet/demanding persona of the mls. Also older woman/younger man trope happens in both.

The main similarity is the on/off mode of our main character and their need to hide their insecurities and personality traits they think that contrast their "perfect" image(if you ask me everyone shows a different face depending on where they are anyway) . Another similarity is the sweet/demanding persona of the mls. Also both drama have a younger man/older woman romance.

Both drama are about a "perfect" capable career woman who just wants to sit back, relax and be a total mess inside her own house(gym clothes+beer+manga= happiness). Romance that makes our heroines both become comfortable with showing their true self and slowly make some space in their life for the male lead. Some up and downs but basically both are short, fun and sweet drama with a dose of ridiculous moments of course.

If you are missing Fiery Priest already, have a little stop-over in One The Woman. Everyone is still patiently waiting for TFP 2, but One The Woman looks like a spin-off with Lee Ha Nee's character in focus.
I swear, if you loved Le Ha Nee's role as a prosecutor, you will definitely be satisfied with One The Woman focusing on the female prosecutor's story.

-Kikazaru... is a similar story set-up as Cha-Cha-Cha, except the leads are the late 20's versions of the lead couple from the latter (who are in their mid-30's). The high-flying city girl, and the homely, earthy and grounded boy with opposing sets of values!
-The FLs land as a tad superficial; fashion and self-image obsessed. The MLs are pretty low-key in comparison, and often give our FLs wholesome critiques which causes them to evolve and not be so uptight.
-Plenty of found-family themes. The story-telling is paced like slice-of-life in both.
-The lead couples have a very youthful, playful dynamic. Their bickering sessions are fun to watch.
-FLs have a previous 'crush', they look up to and immensely respect, but they mistake familiarity and nostalgia with 'love'.
-The MLs are initially reserved in their affection. Both have bouts of jealousy, but FLs are very reassuring in their feelings towards the ML!!!
-Both FLs are extremely career-oriented & independent. Both face immense repercussions at work due to a small incident, at different points of the series.
-Both MLs suffer from heavy emotional trauma (although slightly different reasons). The outcomes are the same though, both retreat from their successful & regular full-time careers, and currently operate only as self-employed part-timers. Like quirky twins, Chief Hong has his 'off-days' and Shun keeps his food-truck open on 'weekdays and whenever it doesn't rain.'
-Both FLs help our MLs overcome their traumas. Likewise, the MLs cause them to become more likeable and soft eventually!
-The couple's 'dreams' clashes in both. However, they eventually can settle on a mutual middle-ground!

BONUS: The first episode epilogues in both the series is the EXACT same. While the leads look like they don't really get along, and are as different as chalk & cheese, the MLs have almost the exact same reaction to our FLs, when they realize the women aren't as superficial as they seem. That's the initial point of attraction between both couples... <3 <3

At a crossroads, a dentist moves to a seaside village where she meets a handyman intent on helping his neighbours.

The story of a romance between a man who is annoyed with relationships but likes to flirt and a woman who wants to date but does not believe in love.

Both are action packed dramas with large scale conspiracy behind the scenes. The main protagonists of both dramas are victims of this conspiracy and are out for revenge. Romance is also an important part of both dramas, although maybe a bit more in Iris than in The K2.

Because both are highly action series... and the leads did the action all by themselves and both have a great story ...

Both of these shows have:
- Under cover cops
- Dealing with mole & gangsters
- People getting betrayed

Story might not be similar, but they have the same vibe:

- Both supernatural, romance
- Both male is a supernatural-being (Diety)
- Both female leads are living human, that will be interacted with Diety
- Both female leads know when will they die; or knows how many days were left before they die — which both knew their death is unstoppable
- Both female lead thought the male lead is guardian-angel protecting them from harm
- Both male leads is always around the female lead waiting for the female lead to die
- Both male leads doesn’t actually protect the female lead but actually waiting the female lead to die due to their mission in mortal world (grim-reaper like)
- Both female & male lead fell inlove despite of being different; due to always being around with female lead and protecting her

Story might not be similar, but they have the same vibe:

- Both fantasy, romance
- Both male is not human, came from God/spirit
- Both female leads are living human, that will be interacted with spirit
- Both male leads doesn’t actually protect the female lead but wants to die due to their personal interest (grim-reaper like) but end up protecting the female lead
- Both female & male lead fell inlove despite of being different; due to always being around with female lead and protecting her

Similar story, a woman pretends to be a man in order to be the king (even tho it was not a decision she made), then a young man starts working with her and they fall for each other

-Same premise
-Similar storyline
-Both are equally amazing
-Abe Hiroshi has rocked it

Both have the story of ML and FL who are both single parents with adult kids decided to marry each other and have a blended family. ML and FL kids are unable to accept each other at first, but slowly becomes a happy family.

In "Be My Dream Family", ML's kids were afraid FL is marrying him only for money, but "Marry Me Now?" is the opposite, FL's kid was afraid that ML family might take advantage of FL finances.

If you like big blended family drama like "Be My Dream Family", then you might like "Marry Me Now?" too

Somehow similar, in Voice in the Rain, fl hears the comforting voice of the ml only when it rain……………………………
