Zhang Jing Yi is the FL in both. The chemistry is natural. The relationship had depth. However, BEITD does not have a satisfactory ending.

Secret Love Affair is an amazing show. Definitely on par with Master's Sun. So if you already watched MS 2x and would like a change of flavor. Try Secret Love Affair which also portrays a strong female lead - a very smart mature relationship that will warm your heart and brighten your days.

they both deal with affairs in a more realistic way. the men in both kinda "love" the other more, right up until the end. they both have great cinematography and open endings.

Both dramas are about a relationship between a male student and a female teacher, age gap and forbidden love.
Secret Love Affair is more mature and much serious/high quality drama.
Recommended by NiSkywalker
Both dramas are about a married couple who is not married for love and both couples face difficult decisions and situations. Both dramas also have something to do with unfaithfulness and in both dramas we have very strong women who are willing to cross lines for their work. Both dramas are very, very, very mature and are so powerful that one has to stop often in order to keep on breathing.
Both dramas have also gotten an ending that robs one of all the last piece that was left while watching them.
They are masterpieces of no comparison.

At this time, he befriends Se-Jung, a new neighbor who moves in next door. He gladly accepts her help and Cheong becomes romantically attached to her, neither realizing she is in fact Deok Yi, the woman Hak Kyu betrayed 8 years ago, now on a quest to destroy them.
