This suspense story centers on Kajin Ayame, a lawyer with a promising future but who lives alone. The story begins when a beautiful and seductive man, Minamoto Ieya, appears before her. He believes that "love = possession" and is suspected of domestic violence against his wife, and is under suspicion of murdering a professor at a famous university. The two are instinctively drawn to each other after the incident, and Ayame works hard to prove Toya's innocence.

Le Jun Kai is a man who lives his life trying to foster a hatred for his enemy and devising ways to seek revenge for his former lover and unborn child. He decides to marry his enemy's daughter, Le Yi, and then proceeds to mistreat her and make her life as miserable as possible, but yet she bears this without retaliation. A problem arises when Le Jun Kai begins to realize he might have feelings for Le Ye Zi.

Seol Nae Il and Lee Sun Jae are genius gemstones with a bright future as pianists. Both pour their hearts in the piano without restrictions. They let their hearts play and they face the conformity and the coldness of the world.

They both have similar plot and themes such as the husband cheating and the wife having a younger man as a love interest.

Married woman, lust, connection, irresistible love, husband aware, emotionless, real life struggle, hope, confuse, frustration, society, future?

Both lead actors did a great job to bring out the depth of their characters. Theme of a cheating couple is obvious and similar to this drama. But, it’s taken to another level and does not feel as trashy as the current drama. Cheaters are not glorified in Secret Love Affair.

Piano connected two lovers. Emotional, passionate, beautiful. Talented, genius, supporting, through music, they understand each other without spoken words

A bit similar plot about younger ML & older FL who attracted to each other but FL already married but FL & ML had an affair. If you like this kind of genre is a must watch drama. Yamapii is an eye candy for sure.

Both dramas are similar for their cheating aspect, both FL's are not satisfied with the relationship they have with their husband, thus, looking or accidentally looked at another man that appreciates their value more as a woman. They did not find the "other" man, they just happened to be in the right situation at the right time, and the "other" man caught their attention. The difference is that H has a sad ending, but OTWTTA has a happy ending, though not seen, just implied. And another thing, H is kinda steamy, but OTWTTA is more conservative, I don't know how they did it, but it came out nicely and sweet. H is also sweet and nice, but more sexy in my opinion.

First of all.Both dramas are CLASSIC MASTER PIECE in my opinion.
Both drama main leads are dealing with infidelity issues. But totally in different ways.

In secret love affair Female lead is much older than male lead.
My Mister male lead is much older than female lead.

In secret love affair Female lead is dealing with office politics.
My Mister male lead is is dealing with office politics.

Both dramas have many heartwarming and heart breaking moments.

Main similarity, YOO AH IN from secret love affair and LEE SUN GYUN from my mister has insane acting skills.Both are not talking much in both dramas but their expresions talking 1000 words.

young man falls for older women and Melodrama story between them...

I can't say this title is exactly the same subject of jdrama but it has vibes of age gaping subject and affair of younger boy and older women. And a little bit cheating ?
