Difference plot but common themes of murder, loss of family, and a desperately needy couple who cling to each other when the world turns against them.

Characters body swap and become more confident in their lives as a result. Hilarious and comedy and more serious moments. Offbeat but fun ending.

A lonely human with no friends saves a cat who can shift to human form who then changes his life. Cute ears pop out of human's head at times. Cozy feeling. In Make A Wish, the ML runs a bookstore, in Meow Ears Up he is a webtoon artist which is similar.

Comedy mixed with drama. Someone tries to abduct the mermaid and the human must rescue them. Romantic relationship between a human and a mermaid. The mermaid ends up leaving, then returning at the end for a happy ending.

Relationship between a cat and a human begins when a cat is discovered abandoned outside. Warm, cozy feeling with a thread of loneliness.

- Same screenwriter and it shows in her trademark quirky characters, setting/worldbuilding and situations.
- Tonally FNOS is much lighter and more comedy focused, but both shows share the well-executed mix of genres blending together to a well-written story.
- Ghost seeing and communicating ML instead of FL being the one
- Evil spirit Antagonist with ties to ML/FL
- Past Life Fated Love story
- In MPUB it was FL who was seemingly cold and distant but actually cared a lot about others. In FNOS it is the ML.
- Ghost employees, magic, shamans exorcising evil spirits, a grim reaper and 2000 yrs old general in best quirky MPUB fashion
- Close-knitted group of unlikely people solving murder cases with otherworldly help and saving the day
- a really cute, first love slow burn romance between the leads, akin to Kang Bae and Yeo Rin.
- a lot of supernatural shenanigans, sometimes of the creepy kind, mostly tho of the chaotic, funny kind.

In The Sound of Magic the FL, who is unhappy due to unfortunate circumstances in her life, befriends a Magician who begins to teach her magic. Similarly, Moorim School revolves around a group of students who attended a mysterious school due to having mystical powers such as magic.

Both dramas have a similar feel due to being fantasy based with the characters having inexplicable powers.

It has a similar plotline with more detail on Leh Nangfah. It's about a rich socialite who has a poor attitude with others. An angel then turns her into a bird half of the day. The angel then forces her to change her attitude with others within amount of time or else she will become a bird forever. Good comedy. ?

Drive is more offbeat and wacky while A Hard Day is the dark kind of humour. Both have the main characters go through a really unlucky day and both end in a similar manner too ( I tried my best not to give away much about the endings ;) )

they have similarities in stories and relationships. although the male lead in the unknown: legend of Exorcist Zhong Kui is an immortal and the male lead in heroes is a student they both go on a journey to learn and find various things they were missing along the way. they didn`t realise they were missing though.

social aspects of job and work culture, being together and helping each other. hard working and career oriented protagonists. working for welfare of society and people as a whole.
great tales of companionship and bonding at their respective work stations. not ordinary mushy rom coms. protagonist with ambitions and a strong, likeable personality.

Mermaid and human romance between "bad" but good hearted human and hapless mermaid. Comedy and serious moments. Happy ending with couple in seaside home.

Mermaid character meets human, romance follows. They cry pearls which the human uses as money. Comedic moments mixed with serious ones.

Nine-tailed fox. Horror elements and dark tone. Tragic death of one of the characters. Painted Skin however is much more depressing.
