Where Does the Sea Begin

Saionji, a housework-application employee who doesn't do housework, is enjoying the freedom of single life she's finally obtained after 38 years! However, she meets Kusumi, a genius engineer from Silicon Valley.

The strange younger man has a big "secret"!

This is a story of love and family, where Saionji-san, who has no housekeeping skills, takes on the challenge

The plot is identical. Almost too similar, to the point that Umi no Hajimari looks like a total copy from My Girl. Both main characters are young males that were dumped by their girlfriends and years later find out that the ex-girlfriend had passed away. In the funeral both of them find out that the ex-girlfriend had a secret child, a young girl, and that they were actually the father. The details on the stories diverge, but overall they look identical to me. ^^"

Song Na Young and her husband, Jung Sung Min, desperately want a child but her husband is unable to get her pregnant. Her husband's friends decide to help them. But Na Young suddenly loses her husband in an accident and she gives birth to her daughter but does not know which of her husband's friends fathered her child. The father of Na Young's child can either be Han Soo Hyun, Choi Kwang Hee, or Hwang Kyung Tae

Shiomi Eiji is a florist. He is a single man with a young daughter named Shizuku. One day, he invites a blind woman seeking shelter under his shop awning to come in out of the rain. A surprising tale gradually unfolds as the story of their budding love transforms into a complex web of lies and dark motives. Nothing is as it seems at first, and each of the characters is burdened with their own painful secrets.

Mi Yeon is an independent career woman and a documentary producer who became a widow after her husband died in a car accident over nine years ago. Despite that, she dreamt of having her own family so with the help of a sperm donation she gave birth to a boy. After her son turned nine years old, he set off to go to China in search for his biological father. Mi Yeon also went after him, and together they met the boy's father, Zhou Li Yan. The three of them go through some unexpected situations and become a family.

Because along with Meguro Ren, there are a lot of actors from Silent joining him in Umi no Hajimari— Sou’s father, coach— and it’s the same screenwriter. So if you like Umi no Hajimari, you’ll definitely like Silent. Vice versa

Because Ren and Kasumi’s chemistry first started in this movie— the juicy love affair finally got a decent romantic story that the two characters deserve

The ambience of both drama is very soothing and calm. You'll feel the journey is following a deep psychological roadmap. Whoever likes healing and thought generative shows, they'll definitely love these both dramas.
*Both is dealing with single parent life.

Both are about a young man meeting and taking care of a little girl at a funeral. Both are very similar...........................................

Despite the main plot difference, Umi no hajimari's first 2 episodes (I love ep 2 btw) reminded me of the plot of Ano Ko no Kodomo since both are about having the same troubles of unexpected pregnancy.

Even in modern-day Taipei, women feel the societal pressure to get married and have children before the period to have them.
Thankfully, there is a solution: freeze your ovum and prolong your fertility.
Zeng Mei Bao freezes her ovum and looks for the right man to start a family. In the pursuit of this man, she ends up in a wintry Swedish Province, where ice and snow becomes a metaphor for the unborn child who is waiting to be born
