Same slice of life feeling, while at the same time dealing with issues brought up during the work of civil servants/police officers. Both focus on human interactions and sometimes touch on sensitive subjects, but manage to avoid melodrama.

This drama seriously reminds me of Misaeng. The overall premise is the struggles of different office workers. There is also this at first misunderstood team chief (head judge of their department) who has tough time feeding and worrying about his family bc his character doesn't allow him to be promoted. He always scolds his hoobaes which gives him the image that he doesn't care, but he does a lot. The girl is a little different bc in this drama she is very confident from the start on, but both female characters have to fight female descrimination. Myung Soos character eventhough youd think he is the opposite of Ge Rae, still resembles him very much. Other judges don't like him and he continuously searches for the best way, the most right way while questioning his own thinking too. There is also this co worker who is all fun and socialable and you think he has no problems in life when in reality he struggles too but always works hard to lift up the mood of the group.

The plot of "On the Way..." reminded me a lot of Discovery of Romance. It was in a way, cheating but not cheating... There are both scenes on both dramas where you will feel the thrill of "getting caught". But its more felt on Discovery of Romance.

OTWTTA is similar to DOR in a sense that, they both have very confused female leads. Although the female lead in DOR is confused if she should choose an old love over the new, while in OTWTTA, the female lead is more into holding on to her old love while denying in her mind that this new male in her life is just a friend, but nevertheless, makes her feel better about herself.

Both dramas has a female lead thinking of keeping their current relationships, (husband or boyfriend) but another male came in (or came back) to shake their emotions, thus the drama. Plus in both dramas, you will be hooked by first episodes. They are fast paced and addicting.

The difference would be, in DOR, it is much more thrill of getting caught, but in OTWTTA, its much more calmer and comforting. Also, the husband in OTWTTA has the relationship broken already from the start of the series. While in DOR, the boyfriend is really playing it nice just to work out the relationship.

Both dramas are supernatural romances. In "Secret Garden" main leads are swapping their bodies. In "Dear Prince" main female lead is able to see a male's soul and sometimes is possesed by him. In both dramas supernatural events create funny situations and some problems, but in the end main leads fall in love with each other.

They both share the psychological and abuse tags and are very dark on those themes, Silenced seems a bit darker since we are dealing with children abuse, Traces of Sin has child abuse as well, even if it is not as explicit, however there is abuse towards the intellectually impaired. Definitely worth the watch for those that enjoyed Silenced.

Comedic take on human-alien/zombie encounter, where the aliens/zombies come across as sad and pathetic rather than menacing.

The male lead has to pretend everything is allright so he can lead the company.
The male lead is cute and nice.
No robots though.

The japanese drama is similar to this movie where a 65 year old woman feels like she lost her youth while taking care of her family, she suddenly becomes a 20 year old for a day, but goes back to herself at midnight, and lives her life as a youth again.

I do not think that the story is similar...just the robot theme is what makes them the "same".
I think another similarity would be that both female leads loved their robot boyfriends like a human male. The robot boyfriends are both caring, handsome and dreamy as well...Like, both actors who played the roles have a perfect body and face. And the attitudes towards the female lead is very superb as well. Makes you want to ask where you can buy such "robots"...

These two dramas are pretty intense. The leads are desperate to save their loved ones. Both shows are filled with investigation and mystery.

Both dramas are pretty intense. A feeling of urgency is present in both as characters fight against time. Both shows are filled with mystery and investigation. Also, both leads have the same vibe.

Both shows deal with extreme situations where characters must find a way of surviving and saving people they care for...

In both shows the leads, while trying to save people they love, end up finding something they weren't expecting... Both are suspense thrillers with badass protagonists.

I think that when "On the Way to the Airport" was showing, its competitor drama was this, My Wife is having an affair this week...You know how korean dramas have a trend or a theme at a certain time (like time travel or robots or aliens)...
Anyway, they both have the same theme in a way,..Cheating or looking for other options of already married people...But it was kind of from a different angle for both dramas. In OTWTTA, it was from the angle of the "cheating" spouses itself. In MWIHAATW, it was from the angle of the husband who was faithful and cheated on and the wife that cheated's reasons...but a big point is, the endings were opposite of each other. I don't wanna spoil, but one of them, the original spouses forgave and got back, on the other drama, the "cheating" couple got together. At that time, I watched MWIHAATW, instead of OTWTTA, I mean, just got to pick one "cheating" drama at that time. I was still on my "cutesy" drama phase.

Dating agencies. Matchmakers falling in love. The Undateables is more comedic while Murphy's Law has more angst.
