Both are of the same genre.
Both FLs initially do not have the ability to emote.
Both are peppered with misunderstandings, but also laden with fluff.
Overall, both dramas have very similar vibes, with Ashes of Love giving you a high dose of angst once and Love and Redemption sprinkling angst here and there from the start to the end.

Both FLs are women who are smart and and raised from an early age to be the Commanders/General of large armies to protect China's borders.

First of all.Both dramas are CLASSIC MASTER PIECE in my opinion.
Both drama main leads are dealing with infidelity issues. But totally in different ways.

In secret love affair Female lead is much older than male lead.
My Mister male lead is much older than female lead.

In secret love affair Female lead is dealing with office politics.
My Mister male lead is is dealing with office politics.

Both dramas have many heartwarming and heart breaking moments.

Main similarity, YOO AH IN from secret love affair and LEE SUN GYUN from my mister has insane acting skills.Both are not talking much in both dramas but their expresions talking 1000 words.

Again, same actress and scriptwriter. Kemono is a bit better in presenting "life lessons", soratobu is comparatively more in your face on that. But regardless absolutely great dramas.

- same actress
- same scriptwriter
- both features adult relatioships and realistic conflicts
- both are great, though Nigeru probably has a bit more comedy
- both are romance, though Nigeru has a tad bit more haha

Co-workers (in the food industry) get into a relationship without meaning to be in one. Family, relationships, and friends are affected in different ways.

Both feature a noona romance with a career-oriented older woman and the plucky younger guy she ends up falling for. The chemistry between both leads is great and they both have bits of commentary here and there on what its like for women who are still when well into their 30s or hitting 40

- both are healing dramas.
- the chemistry of the leads are on point.
- both dramas take place in a hospital (in iontbo a psychic hospital and in chococlate a hospice).
- the dramas take place by the sea.

If you liked this drama you would also like this one cause both will give you the same vibe, you'll get to feel the affection of a mother to her child and that mothers can do anything for them. And the twists are also mind-blowing!

Both the male leads hate the female leads at first and falls in love with them by the end.

Both the Female Leads lead kinda similar lives from serving their sentence to the child-birth.

It is a similar feeling, they grow up together and share feelings. "When we were young" is a bit more romantic and "Go Ahead" is more family centric, but both are really good.

Both movies narrate the kidnapping story where the female lead struggle to survive. Interestingly, the FL in both movies are Kang Ye Won.

It's story about the brothers who have fight about throne and powe. Main female character don't want to be a queen etc and she is badass girl. The have same evil girl who want power and like main male character, and bad brother who drems about throne.

If you thought that "I've fallen for you" is lacking martial arts and intense mystery and thought-process, then check out "Young Blood"!!
I guarantee 150% that this drama will not fail you!! ???
