Both are Chinese BL/BL-based dramas set in the work place and involve a diligent employee being paired with the company’s lazy, goofball heir.

Both are thrilling and emotional. Two Weeks is a chase of a father desperately trying to live in order to save his daughter while Tunnel is about time travel of a detective sent to the future.

Smart and strong-headed FL that only cares about herself and eventually the ML. But really child-like inside.
Calm ML with a painful past and a current priority.
Dramas have very different themes.

Programmer Liu Qian Qian is tasked with designing the male hero Nan Gong for a new romance computer game for women called “Perfect Boyfriend”. But Nan Gong unexpectedly breaks through the dimensions and appears.

Fashion themed drama with CEO ML and independent designer FL.

Both are Japanese detective mysteries where there is an insanely smart and quirky main character who, along with their charming partner, solve crimes and mysteries.

If you like Sherlock Holmes, mysteries and bromance, then you will like both of these shows.

Similarities:
- The characters in Mystic Pop-Up Bar attempt to counsel customers when they visit the bar for a drink or for supper. The psychiatrists in Dinner Mate try to provide food therapy to their clients.
- Both are comedies with many hilarious moments.
- There's romance in both dramas!
- Both attempted to explore mother-child relationships.

Differences:
- I think Mystic Pop-up Bar was better in food therapy than Dinner Mate haha.
- Mystic has more character development and each episode explores a social issue so I think it is a very meaningful show. Whereas Dinner Mate focused more on the romance between the characters.
- Another main difference is that Mystic Pop-up Bar has a supernatural theme whereas Dinner Mate's theme revolved around mental illnesses. Overall Mystic Pop-up Bar felt a lot more serious (despite the endless comedic moments) because it touched a lot on life and death and was also a critique on Korean culture.
- Even though the romance in Mystic Pop-up Bar was not the focus, it was a lot more touching than the romance in Dinner Mate to me (I was moved to tears!!)

Both have moms who come back from the dead. Both explore the importance of a mother's role in family and in life.

Another Son Ye Jin movie! Both star Son Ye Jin as she tries to uncover the truth about a child's disappearance. In both movies, Son Ye Jin's character suspects her own family members as the main perpetrator.

Am I the only one that sees a lot of parallels?

-Both are chinese dramas that are about a rich, cold Male Lead and a cheerful Female Lead
-Both Male Leads have a problem with touching woman/people (Although the Male Lead in About Is Love can´t touch people in general and the Male Lead in Master Devil Do Not Kiss Me just can´t kiss girls without having a allergic reaction)
-In both dramas the Male Lead is interested first but the Female Lead rejects him all the time
-Both dramas start with a Love-Hate Relationship and even after they don´t try to kill each other anymore, they still bicker around
-In some point, both dramas deal with art
-Both are dramas I really loved and gave a good rating
-There is even more but I forgot about them...

I think if you liked one, you like the other as well.

both are about corruption, child exploitation, and pedophilia

The same leads, definitely for people who liked the chemistry between the two will enjoy watch the undateables.

The drama made a lot of references to Crash Landing on You, because the actress who played Do-hee (Seo Ji Hye) was in it, so I think it's worth mentioning here. In my opinion, CLOY explored the destiny theme (which sadly only appeared in the first half of Dinner Mate) very well. Both dramas also have very funny and lovable female leads.

Same genre (comedy, investigative); lead actress Lee Sun Bin appeared on both dramas playing almost similar roles as part of a team investigating.

Same time period and a lot of the same historical characters, although the main focus is Hideyoshi. It does, however, offer a sympathetic portrayal of Mitsuhide and he plays a rather large part.
