In both, there's a marriage of convenience between a serious, older businessman and a stubborn and willful, much-younger woman. The men misunderstand the female's relationship with another close male. Both dramas also have rich families, scheming relatives, and a slow, hate-to-love romance with lots of bickering.

Both of these dramas, although from different countries, center around family. Dear Mom has more episodes than My Unfamiliar family and different issues surrounding the family, but overall I felt a similar feeling. From dealing with family drama to each of the family member’s dealing with their own struggles. Divorce, Relationships, Friendships, Romance and Family are all common themes in these two dramas! I enjoyed both very much and hope you will too! *This is my first recommendation! *
