Short story but it's totally worth it. A story of a two bff badass woman with common story as friend become distant because of a mistake but met again after 5 years. Sounds lame? Wait till you see it. The production & chemistry of all character is perfect. I would totally watch it even if its full 24 episode. All the music totally drawn you into the story. A bar, cocktail, perfume, music is a complete set. Even Hani is a rookie actress, she totally have talent for acting, I'm fangirling

Palace arranged marriage. Right from episode 1. Male Lead is cool calm, strategist, fights well and warrior at battle field. Male lead doesnt put much thoughts into marriage nor male-female relationships. Male lead is guarded against female lead, distrustful at the start, knowing female lead was planted in thru marraige as a spy for the enemy (palace). Female lead has own opinions, strong will but crafty enough to survive. Lively, and lovable. Female lead who is more physically affectionate and vocal about how they feel, including confessing to Male Lead first
Marriage then divorce. Secrets and fantastical elements. Heart wrenching moments. Great otp and chemistry.

Even if the historical setting is different, both deal with politics, espionage and medical stuff. Different Dreams is about the Korean independence, while Doctor Stranger is about the relationship between North Korea and South Korea.

They are historical shows about people who fought for the Korean independence during the XXth century. Espionage, patriotism and politics.

Both focus on the interactions between the poor and the rich. In fact, the word "parasite" is uttered by the rich people in "My Wonderful Life" many times. I'd say that Parasite is darker for sure, and My Wonderful Life is more realistic.

Both male lead have a psycopath serial killers as their fathers and being a psycopath son made them have some sort of psychology issue...then the female lead come into their live and give love to the male lead and that make them different and prevent them from following their bad father's foot step... both series show how the male lead overcome their issue with the love and support from their love one.

similarity is in term of family of 3... the good relationship of father and daughter, both series the mother is the police officer and have to deal with criminal case... the difference is in W2L the husband is lawyer/prosecutor while in FoE the husband is the suspect of murderer.. both series show the husband love the wife and his family very much and will try his best to protect his love one regardless of what happen..

Story somehow connect with each other .Bubbly female lead and cold and straight face male lead and helpful and attractive second lead .
And best thing is directed by same director.

-hidden identities
-lost families
-strong female lead
-romantic partners working together To solve problems
- setting and of course the male lead
-overall look and feel very similar

Wonderful Little Forest is the Chinese version of the show. They both have the same concept of adults taking care of children while introducing them to the forest environment.

Both female leads have similar strong personalities, so they don't give up easily in what they like doing.

They stress me out in similar ways. They start out a little uneasy, and then things happen really fast.

- quirky, meta humor

- unique visual style

- originality

- likable main leads

- strong female characters
