Seeking Joy

- The cut-throat corporate world as a setting.

- The FL is a strong/ athletic/ dominating woman who comes to rely on the ML.

- Two ambitious people who are initially "enemies", fall for each other.

Similarities:
- The ML falls for a strong woman who dislikes him at first.
- The drama is hilarious.

both are:
- Love-hate romances between a clingy but no damsel in distress FL, and an icy on surface but secretly smitten ML.
- Comedies with a lot of heart.

And, both use:
- fantasy elements to highlight real struggles.

In My Sweet Mobster, a CEO/ ex gangster falls for a struggling entertainer. In My Royal Nemesis, a monstrous chaebol falls for a Joseon villainess transported into the body of a struggling actress. Both situations lead to hilarious consequences.

similarities:
- A royal dealing with the modern world
- A headstrong FL who clings to the ML for her own survival.

differences:
- My Royal Nemesis is a modern fantasy that has dialed up the comedy, and shows an enemies to lovers romance between two selfish individuals. For more information, watch the promotional material:

Unmet is a romantic medical drama with a much better focus on the female lead's point of view and the emotions of people with chronic/ terminal illness or disability. Performances are outstanding as it features a mix of talented young actors as well as seasoned actors, who nail both the sentimental as well as moral/ ethical themes of this beautifully crafted drama.

There's not much plot similarity, but the two dramas are closer in terms of their "vibes" (especially with how they combine food and healing, and with the warmth in their "patient stories"). In Unmet, both the episodic stories and the major plotline have been given a more delicate, realistic (and yet, more optimistic) treatment with beautiful storytelling. In my opinion, Unmet is not so much a mystery as it is a human drama/ romance (and a VERY GOOD one at that). I hope this helps anyone interested in watching Unmet with what to expect from it.

The leading ladies of both dramas face forgotten love and abandoned dreams due to their memory loss. Unmet A Neurosurgeon's Diary is a mystery medical drama with female point of view, and it shows FL's journey to recovery more realistically. But the sentiments and angst of the ML are depicted as beautifully. The storytelling has a different approach, but the visual quality is on par with movies.
