.......................................................

Both are short stories about childhood friends with a dash of romance, a trio friendship/triangle, and an open but mostly happy ending.

- Same FL
- Mature romance - older ML and younger FL
- roles reversed ML in KOTHD is helpless (unlucky), FL in YAMA is a bit slow, unlucky, ditzy
- FL is a different in both shows very contrasting characters YAMA she stronger, independent and not a damsel
- Slowee burne- FL still knows what she wants etc
- if you just want to erase the ditzy slower character in YAMA and not completely hate the actress watch her in this you might give her a bit of her dignity back

Although storylines between themselves are way too different, the design between each lead is in familiarity

From Big Bet, there's an articulate casino lead manager/founder along the way within the Philippines, alongside a right-man and clueless-but-follow-by-the-book & first-abroad-experience police inspector; whereas from Decoy, there's a bluff-but-dangerous con artist 'king' and ex-lawyer-turned-detective, which his traits turned out to calm-while-collect-thoughts and no biased judgment (put personal feelings aside for professionalism)

and the methods are quite similar to male leads themselves: Cha Moosik has his own influence right from the start (childhood, which is enormous), hence being eloquent, and full of pride to be communicated with all people; whereas Noh Sangcheon convinces his people and also, 'baits' aka victims, to believe his encouragements to buy the products on his pyramid-scheme journey

If you want to watch these Korean dramas, I'd suggest to binge-watch all of them, don't be like me (wait each week); so for Big Bet, start within the middle of March because that's when all eps from the sequel are finished; whereas for Decoy, mayhaps at the end of April for other 6eps of the sequel to finish

Hyun Woo fell in love with Soo Yeon at first sight in college and they have been married for 8 years. He thought he had the perfect family, with Soo Yeon, who is a beautiful wife and a good mother to his beloved son. Then one day, Hyun Woo sees a hotel reservation message sent by a male stranger on Soo Yeon’s phone. Even though he tries not to think about it, proof after proof is revealed, which confirm that his wife is indeed having an affair. Since he firmly believes that he is a good husband and father, he can’t seem to forgive his wife. He blames her for putting the family in danger but then starts thinking, “Have I been a good husband to my wife?”

Son Ji Eun is a housewife who works part-time at a mart. She is quiet and sincere, even as she feels trapped in her unhappy life and lonely marriage. One day, she meets biology teacher Yoon Jung Woo and her heart starts beating again. They both know that only ruin will await them, yet they cannot seem to stay away from each other.

In both dramas, one of the main characters gets terminally ill. And they wish to be loved by someone before they die. and they chased that person.

The male lead is the crown prince and the female lead wear as a boy. The female lead serve for the male lead. But the difference is in OBY the male lead has already know that the FL as a girl.

- rich male lead and passionate female lead relationship

- fake relationship turned into an everlasting one

I recommend because of the same author “Ma Bo Yong” ,the king of investigation novels. If you like TLDICA, you’d probably like this drama too. The acting performances and cinematography are stellar .

the 3rd plot of hida and saint, the step bros in love concept is similar to addicted heroin
