Both from the same source material.
Both feature a FL who stepmother and half-sister who moved in and taken over FL property created by her mother. ML is engaged to FL's half-sister but helps the FL.

Both dramas are directed by Sung Woo, and if you like the pace and absense of fillers, romance with some mystery, then check both dramas.

Both these dramas are heartbreaking historicals, tragedies in slow motion. The romance in moon lovers is epic and both of the ML back stories will hurt your soul.

They both about someone that in the law enforcement career, and both of them about fighting against scammer. They solved the scammer problems in unconventional and illegal way

Low budget, but still very worthwhile to watch ?

Both shows are from totally different genres but I felt some similarities:

Both Special Episode: JohanNorth and Between Us: Special Episode serve as heartfelt love letters to their side couples — providing emotional closure, romantic depth, and sweet everyday moments that weren’t fully explored in the main series. If you loved Between Us: Special for its calm, cozy, and healing atmosphere between two emotionally scarred characters finally finding peace in each other, you'll likely enjoy JohanNorth just as much.

In Between Us: Special, we see Win and Team settle into a softer rhythm of love. The episode isn’t about big drama — it’s about domesticity, intimacy, vulnerability, and comfort after storms. Similarly, in JohanNorth, we see North finally allowing himself to embrace Johan's love fully, and Johan — ever devoted — quietly proves how consistent, gentle love can heal emotional walls. The energy is low-stakes, emotionally satisfying, and full of warm moments that fans crave after the emotional rollercoaster of their main story arcs.

Johan mirrors Win in the way he pursues and protects, while North, like Team, slowly lets himself be loved despite trauma. Both specials use small gestures, cuddles, kisses, and quiet conversations to deepen their bond rather than flashy scenes. The result is a soothing, romantic epilogue that makes you feel like all the pain was worth it. Also, the cinematography and soft lighting add to that warm, dreamy feel.

If you enjoy watching relationships that have fought hard for happiness finally rest in that happiness — these two specials deliver beautifully. They’re both perfect for fans who love slow-burn healing, emotional payoff, and intimate slice-of-life romance with layered characters.

They are both based on rebirth novels where the female lead has to scheme her way out of the problems that happened in her first lifetime.

Both dramas offer a grounded and relatable portrayal of the difficulties faced by young adults. This includes:
Financial hardships: Characters in both shows often struggle with money, living in modest conditions, and worrying about their livelihoods.
Career setbacks: They experience failures, rejections, and the frustration of not being recognized for their talents.
Societal pressures: There's a common theme of individuals feeling pressure to succeed, conform to societal norms, and live up to expectations.

both dramas have similar humor and the old school BL feel. They are both lighthearted and fun with two people from different backgrounds ( one more of a city boy, the other more a family/community boy).

A love triangle between two brothers and a girl who have known her since childhood at the first of story.

ML is going to marry that girl and is deeply committed to her, but during a trip he meets another girl (Fl)and she (FL)becomes interested in him.

Ml experiences incidents that take him away from home and his fiancée.

In both stories, FL is a deeply oppressed girl.

In both stories, ML eventually falls in love with FL and forgets his first love.

The plots are actually quite similar: both feature an arranged relationship where one of the leads pretends to be well-behaved, while secretly hiding a mischievous side out of fear that their partner won't accept the real them. The main difference is that Cutie Pie is a BL, whereas My Wife’s Gunslinger God is a straight romance.

Both FLs time travel/reincarnate into young children while retaining their knowledge of the future and use it to help their mothers/family/themselves escape their fate.
