The girl struggles financially by doing different part-time jobs. That's how she meets her prince... but there is one problem: he suffers from illness to human touch. They don't like each other at the beginning but then it turns out that she is the one - the one that can touch him without causing a disaster. The romace plays the main part in both stories - both are equally worth watching!
Both stories are about taking revange and stading against school bullying. Both have a lot of good romance and mysteries. Flashbacks play important role. Both famale lead wanted to become a teacher and by doing so change the school for better. Both were grown up in poor families and had to struggle a lot in life. The son of the school's headmaster is the second lead. There are Olympic Games or Asian Games mentioned.
The same actor in both dramas: he plays a younger boy who is in love with the girl that saved his life once. Still "I hear your voice" has some paranormal abilities like mind-reading and a lot of crimal stories in it - by this it is more engaging. Even the chemistry between the main characters is far better.
Both psychological drama involving teacher and students. It's just that suzuki sensei can be the "I'lll shove my ideals down to your throat" type of drama.
A woman with a promising future is trying to recover from an unfortunate event in her past which impacted her career and future. Then she is being constantly vilified in the press; harassed by the real perpetrators and those who want to use her past against her. A smart wealthy man with a memory illness falls in love with this woman and both are seeking the truth about past events while dealing with family disapproval and disruptions in their relationship.
They both have cases involving murder of a family member. Both include mythic parts. In I hear your voice one of the main characters have read thoughts while in Life on Mars the main character travels back in time.
I mace this rec because both characters have to cross a lot of barriers because of their birth.
Both must face obstacles related to others with power trying to bring them down.
They hide in plain sight, in their own way, from enemies but the manner and method is different.
Both are intelligent but overlooked.
Both experienced loss that impact the choices they make.
The similarity ends there. I think Dong Yi is more dramatic (and it is subtle for a Kdrama) and this show is much more subtle and as grounded in reality as a period piece can be. Dong Yi is after all a palace drama. This drama is not campy at all. There is no fluff, in my opinion. No filler.

I love how the male main character in both stories change their behaviour especially in front of the female main character. the vibes in both dramas are similar in one way but different in another way. i think that the main characters' interaction is smooth.
Both movies star Erika Sawajiri as a idol/model. Both movies are very similar.................................
SKY Castle and Secret Mother both have parents who entrust their child's academics to a "coach" who has a mysterious side to them. Both shows' coaches are working for the families with hidden agendas. The shows both also have mothers that would do anything for their child. One of the biggest differences, though, (other than the intentions behind each coach) is that Secret Mother focuses more on one family rather than multiple ones like SKY Castle.
A female lead disguises herself as a male in order to get enrolled into an all boys' school because there is a guy she likes. They are similar because of gender bender.
