Both dramas revolve around friends and their lives with each other and with their marriages. Especially one couple is very similar to the main couple of The World of the Married. Both females are doctors, both couples have sons, and both couples deal with conflicted feelings, with obsession and deceive, secrets and murder. But also the other couples have their respective drama and betrayals.
If you liked especially the female lead in The World of the Married, you will love Graceful Friends, for she is nearly the exact same person.

This is same, about adultery but unlike "The scent" which took adultery really lighly, "The World of the married " takes it another level. It shows the reality of the married world, the amount hatred one can have after getting cheated in marraige. The plot is fantastic and is a must watch.

A love story affair with a bit different storyline & plot with mature sexual content but both is worth watching drama. If you like mature love affairs story I definitely recommend this drama.

Meanwhile, Rintaro is a manager at the beauty salon where Sakura works. Rintaro likes making biting remarks, drinking alcohol and using his scissors.

The theme of the story are very similar, which involves love, betrayal, cheating and marriage.

You can expect the plot of the story started off as normal couple story then came crashing with one party having passionate guilty affair and later on was caught cheating by the other party. Then revenge ensues.

TWOM started with the ML cheating, however BWGM was the FL that started cheating.
