Even though Kenja no Ai is darker and generally better excecuted and acted compared to Otto no Katei wo Kowasu made, both series have a very similar concept. Both are revenge stories, with the main character being a female lead that feels like her life has been destroyed by another person. In both dramas the main protagonists go to extremes to take revenge.
