Very similar restaurant and food theme, there's also romance and characters involved in a love triangle.

"Wok of Love" and "Temperature of Love" are both South Korean television dramas, but they differ in their primary themes and settings.

"Wok of Love" (also known as "Greasy Melo") revolves around the lives of three characters who have experienced failures in their respective careers. The story unfolds in a neighborhood Chinese restaurant, where the characters find solace, friendship, and love amidst the challenges they face.

On the other hand, "Temperature of Love" focuses on the journey of a screenwriter and a chef who initially meet in an online community. The drama explores the ups and downs of their relationship as they navigate the complexities of their careers and personal lives.

While both dramas involve themes of love, relationships, and career struggles, "Wok of Love" places a stronger emphasis on the culinary aspect, set in a Chinese restaurant, whereas "Temperature of Love" delves more into the world of writing and culinary arts with a different narrative structure.

Drama Similarities

While "Wok of Love" and "Temperature of Love" have distinct storylines and settings, there are some general similarities between the two dramas:

Romantic Themes: Both dramas are centered around romantic relationships and explore the challenges, ups, and downs that couples face in their journey towards love.

Career Struggles: The main characters in both dramas experience difficulties and setbacks in their professional lives. Whether it's failures, changes in career paths, or pursuing their passions, the characters navigate challenges related to their work.

Culinary Element: While the culinary aspect is more prominent in "Wok of Love" since it is set in a Chinese restaurant, both dramas incorporate elements of the food industry. In "Temperature of Love," the male lead is a chef, and the drama occasionally explores the culinary world.

Friendship and Supportive Characters: Both dramas feature a cast of supporting characters who play important roles in the lives of the main characters. These characters provide support, friendship, and sometimes comic relief.

Slice-of-Life Elements: Both dramas incorporate elements of slice-of-life storytelling, portraying the daily lives, challenges, and relationships of the characters in a realistic and relatable manner.

It's important to note that while there are some general similarities, the overall plots, character dynamics, and settings are distinct in each drama, providing viewers with unique and different viewing experiences.

I Highly Recommend to watch both drama.......

The story revolves around two polar opposites who wouldn't have met if it hadn't been for luck. Chang Bai Hui is a simple girl with extraordinary taste when it comes to food and dining. Fang Zi Tian is a world renowned Chef who could have easily made headlines if he cared about it. By stroke of fate, their paths cross several times.
