A senior associate lawyer in his ninth year, An Ju Hyeong seems cold-blooded, but no one can deny his competence in the field. He became a lawyer simply because he found logic and cases interesting, but from the start of his career, he never grasped the idea that lawyers are supposed to protect the weak, uphold justice, and make a difference in the world. Although he's a veteran among associates and has even set a new salary record, he refuses to open his own practice, finding it too troublesome. But now, the once-peaceful walls of his workplace are beginning to crack. On the other hand, Kang Hui Ji, a junior associate at Johwa Law Firm, is a social butterfly who always ends up surrounded by people. She believes that “if you change one person's life, you have changed that person's entire world.” Whether she is lacking or overflowing, she is a confident and honest person. Alongside them are Bae Mun Jeong, Cho Chang Won, and Ha Sang Gi. These five lovable law firm attorneys struggle and grow through various cases, both inside and outside the courtroom, while building solid friendships by having meals together.

Yun Seok Hun is a partner lawyer and leader of the litigation team at Yullim Law Firm. He is a cool-headed risk-taker who pressures his opponents with creative logic. He is admired by his colleagues for his solid skills as a lawyer, but he is not easy to approach because of his cold attitude and complete lack of small talk. Kang Hyo Min is a rookie lawyer and works with Yun Seok Hun. She is socially awkward, but she is righteous and confident. She clashes with Yun Seok Hun over everything, but grows into a real lawyer.

Both dramas have

-a fictional world based on a script
-female leads who have to fight against the script
-characters that are victims of prejudiced thinking and harsh judgement by others
-a story that questions the popular or common patterns of story telling in idol romance dramas
-make a point about the "supporting characters" also being people, not furniture to fill space around the "main couple" so it doesn't look to empty
-romance that doesn't consist of fluff, but building a real connection between two people, while the circumstances don't make it easy for them
-bloody scenes/torture
-a story that is worth thinking about

- Both stories tells about 'three unique heroes' who got entangled with each other and solved cases
- both team contains 2 man and one woman
- historical, friendship, bromance, action, adventure, mystery, investigation, wuxia

The Dream Life of Mr. Kim and Misaeng: Incomplete Life are similar in their exploration of the Korean salaryman’s struggle within a rigid and demanding corporate culture. Both center on quiet, ordinary office workers whose lives are defined by monotonous routines, social hierarchies, and a constant sense of pressure and inadequacy. While Misaeng portrays these realities through gritty realism and emotional authenticity, The Dream Life of Mr. Kim uses surreal, dreamlike sequences to express the same internal conflict and yearning for escape. Together, they offer a powerful critique of modern work life, showing how individuals fight to maintain dignity, identity, and hope within systems that often overlook their humanity.

Similarities:
- Gong Seung Yeon plays both female lead's
- Period Dramas
- South Korean Dramas
- Comedy and Romance Dramas
- Hardworking female lead

Differences:
- Song Soo Jung (My Only Love Song) is a top star who goes back in time
- Gae Ddong (Flower Crew) is a woman who lost her brother, and has her former lover leave her, since he becomes king and falls inlove with another man

Notes:
- The male lead actor in My Only Love Song, also known as Lee Jong Hyun, is a problematic individual and I do not support his actions (do what you wish with this information)
- I mainly suggests this because of the female lead Gong Seung Yeon
