My Mister (2018)

Both dramas deal with two people going through difficult situations and finding comfort and support in each other. Both have characters with an age gap so the bond that they share is unlikely. Romance is something that is hinted but really its a strong friendship that is developed.

Both dramas deal with the harsh realities of life and how personal struggle can lead to positive growth.

Nobody Knows has a similar cross generational friendship, but swapped. Cha Young Jin is the adult counterpart (reserved, strong and caring like Lee Ji An) to Eun Hoo who is kind, sweet and responsible like Dong Hoon. Nobody Knows is not entirely slice of life, as there is a mystery element and some violence, however it is also very sublime and focused on the growth of the main characters and their relationships.

Zhang Jing Yi is the FL in both. The chemistry is natural. The relationship had depth. However, BEITD does not have a satisfactory ending.

Both take place in an office setting and about in-office politics. It also contains wire-tapping and the tapper growing to respect/like the tappee due to listening and learning about their true selves. It also becomes like an obsession for them to listen in on the person's life. Chief Kim is a more lighter drama with some heavy themes, where in My Mister is a heavier with some light scenes.

Both are miserable dramas and both leads suffer and they're really heart breaking and both of them might be sad ending

Both josee and my Mister have that, disconnected from the world, lost, abandoned, mellow and sad, lonely people find each other and become either supporter

Again Its not really alike by story.
what comes after love - was about love which ended without closure hunting both protagonist
meanwhile My mister- was about protagonist hunted by family and environment problems.
This drama got no really big romance, more like familiar love there is big age gap and Male lead acts more like father figure than lover though boundaries are quite blurry.

What both of these dramas got alike is vibe and mood. Both are very melo taking you through rollecaster of emotion while watching. Got few similar lesser themes too.

great dramas need to be connected together even if they don't share much in common. both of these dramas are high quality masterpieces. and both have interesting and strong women

Both are mature dramas for an older audience , they both deals with affairs , darker themes and really well executed ,good pace and so catchy .

Im Eun sub's character remind me of Park Dong Hoon in My Mister. both of them look kind of lost in the world full of loud people. an d trough the story we come to know them and their thoughts and this is so calming. both drama deal with deep sadness yet you come out of them with a feeling of being healed.

I feel the vibe is very similar. The pace of both is similar as well. The whole idea of a group of people in a neighbourhood coming together. Both dramas start from a low point in the protagonist's life and set things right. The entry of the female lead is the turning point in both.

Another drama full of IU's brilliant acting, if you want to see more IU, then this is the perfect drama for you.

Both are family dramas with very similar atmospheres though Soredemo tends to lean more into the drama and despair as a result of its much heavier premise. Nevertheless, both tell a gentle and subdued story about love and healing.

Both deals with corruption and they have dark vibes. Both are not romances but they have platonic relationships. And in both stars Jang Ki Yong ;-).
