Both dramas are about women breaking into politics. The shows followed them as they campaign in a uniquely Taiwanese political fashion and address their constituents' concerns.

Both dramas start off by one of the main characters moving from a big city to a town for work. At the beginning of both dramas, the main leads meet several times because one of them has multiple jobs, which is something that confuses the other. In both shows, the characters' relationship doesn't start off too positively.

-Both of the main characters remind me of each other with their youthful and sometimes naive outlook on life and relationships (yes I know the guy from old fashioned cupcake is in his late 30's/ early 40's).
-The vibe of both series are similar in my opinion, and both series give me an extraordinary dose of seratonin.

Same vibes , same cast , the finding real identity and family trope , lee ji ah being smart female lead , lots of secrets and betrayals

This drama reminded me of Delicious Romance. Same story about friendship of 3 women who have issues in their corporate and personal lives.

FL reminds me of also the FL in Delicious Romance who's a total achiever from the early parts of the drama.

And yes, both dramas were able to showcase steamy kisses and quite a few intimate scenes.
