In Influence, the second female lead took the blame of the first male lead for murdering a man for self defense to save her friend. So the second female lead went to juvenile. in the Innocent man, the male lead took the blame of the female lead - his girlfriend for murdering a man by self defense. So the male lead went to jail.
They are both revenge-melodrama type but L&P revolves around univ days and after, while Innocent Man is more on corporate, chaebol kind of life of main characters esp. the FL. Both have similarities also when it comes to the characters’ social status, both MLs are from a poor family while the
FLs have a higher status in the society.
Angsty is what I love the most and both have it.
