Another daily revenge drama ... FL of both get revenge by living as someone else, although Jeongwon does a bit more with her new identity than Jangmi does (WAY more) and Jeongwon acts on her own. A bit unorthodox in the sense that the FL isn't all sunshine and rainbows (like Seorin) but in my opinion that's a good thing ... the FL is calculating and ambitious. Which I actually like in an FL. If you want a break from the "bright personality" FLs I highly recommend this...
The ML also supports the FL although unlike The First Man, the ML is aware that he is being used and is okay with it. A love triangle exists but it's nowhere as one sided as the one in the First Man...
Also recommend if you can handle a drama where the majority of the characters are morally grey and not black and white good vs evil.

To marry the heir of the Geonhyang Group, Cha Jeong Won enters a wealthy family under a false identity, borrowing her friend's name. However, the woman who appears before her as her mother-in-law, Han Hye Ra, is none other than Jeong Won's biological mother. Hye Ra abandoned her daughter to escape poverty and gain power. Jeong Won, scarred by a father framed for murder and a mother who left her, confronts Hye Ra as her future daughter-in-law. But just before the wedding, Jeong Won learns Hye Ra is her birth mother and vows revenge. A fierce war between two women continues amidst lies and betrayal. In a world where everything collapses with lies, only blood is real. Will the truth that the blood reveals trample on the lies and win, or will it be swallowed by another lie?

Written by the same writer! The plot of Witches Game is like an inverted version of the plot of A Graceful Liar... Mother-daughter relationships and identity switches are a big theme in this drama too. The mother and daughter duo in both dramas work together to get revenge. Twists, turns, schemes, manipulation and (birth) secrets abound, this feels more like watching a game of chess than a makjang drama. There are morally gray FLs (Hyera and Jeongwon in AGL, and Yukyung in WG. Hyesoo is more of a typical FL but she's not a pushover so she's fun to watch)
They also both have relatively high budgets for makjang dramas as well. Both have better than usual cinematography. Oh and if you thought Jin Taeseok is evil, let me introduce you to Ma Hyundeok and Yoo Jiho.

Pretty much the daily drama version of this. FL starts living a false life and falls into a web of lies in both dramas. The more she lies and pursues status, the more her life spirals out of control. The FL in A Graceful Liar is more of anti-heroine, while the FL in Anna seems a bit more villainous.
