Both dramas are done by the same screenwriter. In both dramas the "happy" life of the woman gets interrupted by something that has happened to her husband. She then teams up with the male lead to resolve the situation. Both male leads at some point are faced with similar situations where the police looks for them.
Overall although there are strong differences, such as the male lead working for the police in Lies within, while the ML from Walking on Thin Ice is involved with the drug world, they are having very similar situations and themes.

- 4 handsome male lead (not all in love with the 1 female lead)
- FL is from poor background -- different in plot but kinda similar background
- Cold hearted main ML that fell for the FL
- 2nd lead syndrome is real

Both of these stories have a time/dimension travelling heroine (coincidently played by the same actress).

Both have lawyer -detective leads.
In both the lawyer is a quirky charcter and the detective charcter is smooth and charming.

The difference is that in "love is a poison". The lawyer is not immediately aware of his feelings .whereas here they are already a couple from the get go
