NR is about a man who sells himself to be able to survive, whereas in TCMDOC he agrees to kiss his schoolmate to save him from ratting him out to his wife about his unfaithfulness. Both male leads are reluctant to fall in love with the second male lead. Both face obstacles. Both have open (happy) endings. I enjoyed both films and I definitely would recommend both!

While both dramas revolve around families and include mothers, fathers, and children — both also specifically zone in on the relationships between a mother and her child(ren). Every adult female character in both Penthouse and SKY Castle is either a biological mom or a stepmom (each one has stepmothers represented).
