This is the first season of this drama and both has similar story setting:- a strong-headed heroine (definitely not the damsel-in-distress sort) who had lost her memories of her childhood friend being trapped in an endless cycle of going in and out of different stories where each time she will meet the same guy (playing the male lead) and they will both fall for each other but get separated once her mission for each story is completed. The male lead ended up going from one story to another in the hopes of meeting her again. In the end, they will meet in real life and the back-story on what happened to them will reveal itself but that's something to look froward to in Season 2. This is similar to The Journey with the only difference is in The Journey, the female lead had to complete missions through different historical periods (time-traveling) while the male lead(s) searched for her through time. If you liked The Journey, you'll love The Story of Souls from Endless Books.

In both dramas the male lead is devastated about the loss /leaving of his significant other. After lot of searching they find out that the lady had told lies about everything including name and was impersonating another person. While 'You are closer than I think' is focused on romance, Untouchable is more into mystery.

When I watched Suki na Hito ga Iru it gave me the same vibes of Kiss Me. In both dramas the female lead is so innocent and naive, the male lead is cold-hearted but still attractive and caring for the female lead although he doesn't show it much.

both have similar plots and deal with similar issues, if you enjoyed the one then you'll enoy the other

they have a similar set up, students try to find out the truth behind their classmate's death, similar complex characters, if you enjoyed the one you'll enjoy the other

both have similar issues and are both intriguing to watch, if you enjoyed one you'll enjoy the other

Both are about a girl who has only few years to live. Both are very emotional. Both are based on famous manga

A list of similarities:

- Bromance (duh)
- Strong fantasy elements
- (some) strong female characters that can kick ass
- Action/mystery
- Characters have magic
- Two male leads have a hidden past that is not revealed until later in the storyline

Beginning is very similar. Also both involve ahjummas uncovering mysteries and secrets involving their families. Mistress is a much darker show btw.

Having watched Woman Of Dignity it was impossible not to be reminded of it while watching Secret Mother:
The beginning is VERY similar. Also, both stories involve rich ahjummas, marriage, cheating, parenting, education etc.

In both, female leads come from Canada to Korea to uncover a mystery involving their sisters. Achiara is a much darker show than Secret Mother.

Age of youth is like a younger version of One More Happy Ending. Age of Youth 1 and 2 is college-age as compared to the 30s leads in One More Happy Ending.

But it has the same feel of having strong female camaraderie. Both the series have cast members with great chemistry with each other. In each of the series the characters deal with their own hardships but come together as a group that have each other's back. AoY deals with blooming romance, heartache and adulting problems while OMHE has mature conflicts like divorce, single parenting and remarriage.

This might seem like one that people might not think of. Both stories are about a man who is generally well off, though one more than the other. They each decide it is for the best to enter a contracted relationship. Pushing off unwanted attention from family and from blind dates. They women obviously getting their fair share from the deal. Of course the first rule is NO DATING, but we'll see how long that holds up. The women take the opportunity to re-evaluate their lives, where they are, what they want, and what kind of person they are really looking for. The stories end nice and clean and cute, and are both fairly simple, dealing mostly with regular relationship problems.
