Two office romance about a older woman with experience and a position falling for a much more younger man that still needs to build his career and personality. The tone and the pace are different Encounter is more mature, sensitive and melo. Encounter has also a magnificent cinematography, opening credits were awful but the rest is beautifully filmed.

When I think about time travel in kdramas my mind goes straight to Rooftop Prince one of the OG. The premises with a Joseon character landing in modern day Joseon Hell feeling lost but looking to reunite with a first love with a mysterious scar on the face. Rooftop Prince was a mix of humour and old days melodrama here the humour and modern romance give another tone to the content. But those two share first love, revenge, time travel, chaebol, lost memory, struggle in modern day Korea, family conflict, trahison ….so many similar boxes are ticked.

Love to hate is one of most known enemies to lovers kdramas amongst fans. We can find in both dramas a strong female lead who likes to fight versus an controversial lead man. Humour is also a common point, many exaggerated situations.

also a much more talker male lead with a protector-bodyguard like female lead.
both costume drama
both have comedic situations

To be honest, I just saw the trailer of both series but I find several similarities in both:
- Die hard ROM-COM!!!!
- Heartbroken leads (the lover cheated)
- Met at ‘vacation’
- Helping one another
- Start with ONS…
- Airline oriented (I mean one is currently working as an airline staff ~ not sure whether he’s a pilot or a flight attendant,,, the other one ‘used to be’ a pilot before deciding to start a business with the other)
-etc

Difference:
- Color tone (cinematography)
- Main conflict
- Friend circle (I see that one have friends that really sticks with them while the other didn’t really show it in the trailer)
- Main characters ‘personality’
-etc

All in all,,, I’m looking forward to both series here^^

Despite coming from a lower-income family and attending a non-prestigious university, Lee Han Yeong longed to rise in the judicial ranks. When he married the daughter of Haenal Law Firm's CEO, he also began a working relationship with her father, using his position as a judge for the firm's benefit. However, as the years went by, Han Yeong's guilty conscience grew stronger, and he eventually defied his orders, sentencing a corrupt chairman to 10 years in prison, only for Han Yeong himself to end up killed.

Miraculously, he wakes up to find himself ten years in the past with all his memories intact, and realizes that he has been given a second chance to make things right. With the help of prosecutor Kim Jin A, Han Yeong strives to deliver justice, even in the toughest of times.

The similarity between both (the movie and the series) Is the main lead character is a “vampire” and both stories are between human and a vampire soooo yeah

The similarity between these series is the language barrier (???), and I think... and you can watch this if you like watching series in which the actors speak different languages but still manage to understand each other somehow.

I think the only similarity between these series is that they have to be together to do something. I don't know if I'm wrong or not, but by being together, they somehow complete each other.
(I hope you get my pov T^T)

~Another thing I think that in both series, FATE has made them meet each other

both are working in a company where they meet there I guess....

At the start of both dramas, the FL enters a new environment. Also, both FLs start off as shy and insecure. As the story progresses, they develop confidence with the help of those around them, learn a lot about themselves, and fall in love.
