vastly different in terms of plot settings, DAYS being a fantasy-esque slice of life and HC not having any magical elements at all
both are similar in terms of themes of healing, accepting and overcoming hiddena and untold grief with the company of others. While DAYS achieves this with the help of a fantastical setting, HC is a more lowkey, humble hometown backdrop.
what i love in both the dramas, what especially led me to draw similarities between the two was just how cute, wholesome and domestic the two couples are. the way they interact, their comfort amongst themselves is whats truly healing and makes the two healing dramas
both have cute support couples
both have characters rooting for each other and helping eachother grow and move on from grief and trauma

similar dramas in terms of themes of healing from past traumas through family, people and love
both involve a small hometown
a bigshot successful FL
a sweet ML with trauma
and both healing through each other
IOTNBO is more dramatic, and deals with mental health in a more direct manner
while HC is more carefree and rom-comy and deals with trauma in a more subtle yet beautiful manner
side characters have their own story lines, with a v cute support couple in both!

family centric
magical, fantastical elements
18 again is more slice of life, MPUB is more fantasy-esque
vastly different yet similar in terms of themes of sacrifice, grief and motherhood, family etc

The female lead is a cop who goes undercover to uncover the drug lords. Badass female lead and the male lead is clueless about her being a cop.

both are family centric, healing emotional dramas about moving on from grief.
both have themes of motherhood, loss and sacrifice.
both have supernatural elements, whereas MPUB is more focused on the fantasy, HBM is more family and slice of life focussed

may not be outrightly similar, but they have similar themes in terms of maturity in characters and their relationships
both the main leads are open with each other and are expressive with their feelings
dinner mate is more mature and talks about moving on from past relationships and is more centered on dating life
whereas HometownCha is more about healing through people and love
both dramas are different in terms of setting but very similar in terms of characters
Hong Banjang is carefree and loving like Kim Hae Kyung
Yoon HyeJin is career oriented and focussed like Woo DoHee, but not as funny or expressive
all in all, both are worth watching!

Both dramas:
> show mental problems and how the affect the relationship
>have sometimes dark/crime vibes
>incredible and modern soundtrack
>FL is a bit eccentric
>will make you fell warm
>show the way to healing
>more then one couples
>fresh approach to plot line

Evasive Inquiry Agency is also a story about people in search of gold. Really humorous and quirky. Hope y'all try this extremely underrated comedy!

Ok so they both have similar posters................. aaand both deal with marriage and infidelity quite elegantly so to speak.

They are both realistic portrayals of marriage and love. Both of them also touch several subjects including family and divorce with a quirky sense of humor.
