Both of Lee Jang-woo, and Yoo Ah-in wants to become a top fashion designer. . but starts out as a vendor. Soon enough they accomplish their goals.
In both the female lead thinks about more of her job than a relationship. They would do anything to get what they want. But they meet a guy, younger than them, that at first they just use him but later fall in love. They face difficult situations because of the age difference.
Both series deal with an accidental one night stand which results in the female lead accidentally getting pregnant. However in one series it is the female who is the rich director of a company and the male the poor spinster(I do I do) and in the other it is the exact opposite.
Both stories about women who face the dilemma & potential consequences of motherhood as a single un-wed parent. I do, I do (2012) is much more recent than Virgin Road (1997), however it is uncanny how there is very little difference in societal reactions & expectations from then & now
Surprised nobody has recommended this one already but here it comes...

Both dramas feature strong independent women who have one night stands with younger men. The male characters have to prove themselves to stubborn women (who are really just insecure about needing someone to love).
Two great shows which stray from the typical cliched drama plots.
