A strange foreign woman arrives at a Japanese provincial temple to attend an abbot's funeral. No one knows where she comes from or why she came here. Clearly, she has no place to go. She gets shelter to help in the temple. Jennifer, or 'Jenifa' as she is called, barely knows a few words of Japanese, but soon finds a common language with all residents except for one quiet boy. He lives secluded from others and works all day in a field. Residents call him "Prisoner A" behind his back. Jennifer shows genuine interest in the quiet boy and wants to help him overcome his alienation from the inhabitants.

Both series follow the "boyfriend for hire" storyline.
Young ML does unconventional jobs to make ends meet.
Meets client who hires him to for fake boyfriend service.

Both series are from the same production team.
A short BL.
Good chemistry between leads.
Mediocre script but still fine.

From the same production team.
A short BL.
Mediocre script but the chemistry between leads are great.

Both are office rom-cons.
Both have Boss/CEO - employee relationship as well as this is looked down upon and an important plot in storyline.
Both FLs have similar personalities (Strong, capable, hardworking and not coming from a strong financial background).
Both MLs have slightly similar personalities (narcissist chaebols with a bit of childhood trauma).
Both MLs have a friend-subordinate working under them to discuss their love life with.
Both MLs do not get along with their sibling.
Both FLs have a office girl gang going on (In WWSK it's the office colleagues girl group, In KTL it's their friend group working in different areas of King Group).

"Call for Love" (2025) is a vertical drama remake of When the Phone Rings. It's a well-done adaptation that retains all the important scenes from the original. The essence of the story has been preserved just as it was in the original.

- Both of the female leads are veterinarians
- These dramas are supernatural/fantasy and have a sillier killer investigation plot, which adds a touch of mystery to both dramas.
- Both female leads help in the investigation. Bong Ye Bun (Behind Your Touch, FL) helps the male lead, who works as a detective, with her superpowers. Oh Baek Ryun (My Man is Cupid, FL) is the only witness of the killer that the male lead has been trying to find for years because he had a relationship with one of the victims.
- In the beginning, the relationship between the male leads and the female leads starts with a misunderstanding which was hilarious. You may think these dramas could be heavy because of the mystery but they actually have a nice sense of humour.

The differences:
- Bong Ye Bun ( BYT/FL) had her superpowers from unusual circumstances meanwhile Cheon Sang Hyuk ( MMIC/ ML) is a Cupid for more than 500 years.
- MMIC has a past life plot but BYT is not.
- MMIC has more romance than BYT.
