Both won many international film awards. Both have many layers of meaning. Beautifully make. Leave viewers sink into deep process of thinking thoughts. Forever remember the film

Cleaning corpse. Beautiful mind, art, love, caring, passionate. Lay back, low key, not normal profession, great movie, great acting

If you liked the actor that plays Cai Yasi, here is another one of his projects. (In this drama, he is also a second lead though so sorry to disappoint.)

And for those others who don't like Cai Yasi, this drama is just something you would enjoy, in my opinion, if you liked "The Love Equations".

Hella cute as well as this drama.
The main lead also go through a love patch (for those who like the mild heartbreak in the middle of the serie)

marriage that happen due certain circumstances and the couple start fall in love with each other during the marriage period.. both series deal with secrets that the female lead need to solve and overcome. female lead in both series are very independent and have strong character.

the series about contract marriage and both female lead have strong personality. female lead from both series come from poor family while the male lead come from rich and hi-so family

both series show that the lead get married under certain circumstances and fall in love with each other during their married life.

both dramas feature strong female lead and mean male lead
both dramas take place in an elite school
sassy go go less cliché

both have that secret life theme going on, and in both things were makjang crazy and the question of "how much do you truly know a person"

Similar boss/employee relationship with a similar vibrant female lead. And a light-hearted romance.............

Both are business dramas about mediation and problem solving. In both dramas, the main characters have a mentor/mentee relationship. If you liked the cases part of the storyline in either of these dramas, chances are you'll like the cases in the other.
