similarity is in term of family of 3... the good relationship of father and daughter, both series the mother is the police officer and have to deal with criminal case... the difference is in W2L the husband is lawyer/prosecutor while in FoE the husband is the suspect of murderer.. both series show the husband love the wife and his family very much and will try his best to protect his love one regardless of what happen..
at first it blew my mind that Bride in Sneakers came from the same screenwriter with Flower of Evil, since they have very different tone (serious melodrama/police procedural in FoE vs romcom in BiS), but after I watch BiS in its entirety, I keep finding things reminding me of FoE . The biggest one is the male lead in BiS--his appearance and personality is quite similar to Kim Moojin from FoE. The mention of the FL gets rained when wearing new clothes/shoes. Character digging trash for evidence. Both stories involved bathroom cleaner and taxi driver. Writer used "Gwaenchana saram" (decent person) and "Geojitmal cheoreom" (like a lie) phrase in an unforgettable way in FoE, and as a fan of FoE I can't help but noticing she used the phrase in BiS too.
