Marriage, Not Dating (2014)

The main couples in both dramas are pretending to be in a relationship to please their families only to fall for each other in the end.

Exchanging partners, friendship and truth games. Who would you end up in the end with ? Whom do they really love ?

if you like dramas with hi-jinx of bickering leads, both would be a good rom-com to watch

The male lead here also rent a woman to pretend to be his wife in front of his family and eventually fall in love with his fake wife.

Both have
- fake relationship
- don't like each other at first but fall in love
- the ML falls first

- The love/hate, push pull kind of relationship
- almost childlike male lead who gets jealous when the FL is dating someone
- Really good secondary characters that also get sufficient screen time
- You can watch both over and over again
- Little romantic tidbits and lots of comedy

It made me think of the situation Ki Tae's mother had to go through and probably many other ahjummas around South Korea. While Sa Geum Ran is at the age where she can still change her life..there are many pitiful women around the world who lost their courage and live in pointless marriages because they're too afraid or have no other opportunities to start anew. With age come the problems..and it becomes harder to let go.

The plot is not similar at all but both main heroines are so hilarious, how they got embarassed very easily. And the main guy falls for them beacause they are both so funny and light hearted.

If you like light weight cute rom com, you would enjoy both dramas. Also if you like dramas about pretending and the hi-jinx associated with keeping the lie, then you would like both dramas

In both series one of its characters wants a child without getting married and tries to convince the man to sleep with her.

Similarly for both dramas the leads have opposing views on marriage.
One party desperately wants to get married and the other does not.

Both are romantic comedies with similar funny but cute style with strong characters. Both also have outstanding acting from Yeon Woo Jin.

If you don't mind the language difference, then try this drama too: Marry Me, Or Not.
The similarities are as follows:
1. Male lead not wanting to marry and wants to live alone
2. Male lead using female lead to achieve his want of staying single
3. From fake relationship, the couple learned to love and value each other and turned false relationship to true love
4. Old couple in verge of divorcing, who communicates through sticky notes/boards/cellphones
5. Male Lead's Mother against Female Lead and prefers to have an obedient daughter-in-law
.. also, the couples in both dramas have great chemistry. They'll make you feel giddy inside. For Rom-Com Fans, this is a much watch.. very light, romantic and funny story.

Both of the main leads in these dramas are in a fake relationship, but they come to love each other.

Both shows have a strong female lead with two male pursuers. I don't want to give away the story but I will say that the first guy doesn't like her until the second one walks in. She grows stronger as the show progresses... which I love.
