The two eventually marry, but Erika has a dark side and will stop at nothing to get what she wants! In order to seize control of the Ise Zaibatsu, she becomes pregnant with the child of Yukiya's older brother, Masayuki, and plans to remarry him.

Ambitious women and thought of having power by using men around them. While the plot are totally different Dear X kinda remind me of Nice Guy. What if those who founded guilty never a perpetrator.

A psychological drama about unhealthy interpersonal relationships explained often through elaborate flashbacks. Takanako Mayuko, who grew up in an idyllic mansion with the perfect loving family, blames her childhood best friend for everything that has gone wrong in her life.

the plot is the same where men try to make money using his beautiful appearance and while doing so discovering the love of his love (falling for love).

This drama follows a man who seeks revenge on the woman who betrayed him, only to find himself entangled in a complicated love triangle. It delves deeply into themes of sacrifice, revenge, and the complexities of human emotions.

Two women love the same man, car accident, loss of memory, serious brain damage, family forbids the relationship, despair, secrets.

Both deal with revenge and an innocent women who's world is turned around when she finds out her husband and friend have an affair. The world keeps throwing her twists, she falls for another man but he is the nephew of the person she chose to help her get revenge on her ex husband and friend. You just have to watch it to understand it, plus the supporting characters are nice and bring some humor into the drama.

CEO power struggle, similar family dynamics, amnesia, love triangle, wife of CEO kills him to take over company, etc etc.

both are revenge melodramas where the guy despite his attempt to manipulate the female lead to exact his revenge rather ends up falling in love with her ..

In Influence, the second female lead took the blame of the first male lead for murdering a man for self defense to save her friend. So the second female lead went to juvenile. in the Innocent man, the male lead took the blame of the female lead - his girlfriend for murdering a man by self defense. So the male lead went to jail.

They are both revenge-melodrama type but L&P revolves around univ days and after, while Innocent Man is more on corporate, chaebol kind of life of main characters esp. the FL. Both have similarities also when it comes to the characters’ social status, both MLs are from a poor family while the
FLs have a higher status in the society.

Angsty is what I love the most and both have it.
