Similarities:

1. Contract marriage for economic security and personal gain.
2. Noona romcom with a side of chaebol shenanigans.
3. Sibling relationships play a big role in story and character arcs.
4. Bickering lovers.

Biggest differences are that in WI the contract marriage is between SML and FL instead of ML and FL like NGNL and the chaebol plot line in WI is more melo from the start. But both FLs see marriage as a means to an end and end up falling in love despite themselves.

Similarities:

1. Noona romcom with a bickering contract relationship.
2. Part of FL's motivation for the relationship is revenge on an ex.
3. Touches on issues in women's personal lives and the workplace.
4. Tropey, but in a self-aware way.

Biggest differences are the length (at 22 episodes, DJS is nearly twice as long as NGNL and it drags) and the naivety of the FL (SFL in DJS is the worldly one), but they're both relatively light, fun noona romcoms that also manage to deal with the expectations society has for both single and married women.

Similarities:

1. Slice of life office drama set in the tech industry.
2. A variety of ensemble characters with complex interpersonal relationships.
3. Highlights issues in how technology affects daily life.
4. A divorced noona couple with lingering feelings.

But the focus in On the Verge Of Insanity is the actual tech, office politics and departmental infighting that occurs in major corporations as well as a critique of the marginalization of women in STEM careers. Watch OTVOI for a more realistic view of what it's like to to work in the tech industry after the fairy floss girl power version in Search:WWW.

Similarities:

1. Soft, sweet ML and a tough, no nonsense FL.
2. ML has a special ability used to solve cases with FL.
3. Past tragedy with a secret that creates more tragedy in the present.
4. Mix of comedy, tragedy, plot and romance in the story.

The biggest difference thematically is the nature of "evil". In He Is Psychometric, evil is ingrained and deterministic. In I Hear Your Voice, it's a matter of choices and consequences.

Similarities:

1. Noona romance where ML loved FL since childhood, but she marries someone else.
2. ML and FL reconnect as adults after FL has divorced, friends to lovers.
3. Flashbacks that show how the relationship developed in the past.
4. Multiple ensemble couples at different stages with their own stories.
5. Low key, mostly realistic slice of life problems and plot development.

Extremely similar in tone, storytelling and production too. The major differences are in LIS? FL is a CEO while ML is low on the career ladder, the age gap is larger (FL 35, ML 27) and SML in the triangle is FL's ex-husband. The spice level in Tdrama is also higher than Kdrama.

Similarities:

1. ML with a long time love for FL, FL with reluctant feelings for ML.
2. Workplace romance where the relationship is hidden from co-workers.
3. Domesticity - cohabitation in RIABB, apartment neighbors in MRIH.
4. Detailed dive into a profession - publishing in RIABB, hagwons in MRIH.
5. Ensemble cast that show different aspects of that profession.

The major difference is the tone and tropes of the genres - RIABB is more light hearted slice of life romantic comedy, MRIH is slice of life with mildly makjang melodrama.

Similarities:

1. Leads with a special power that gives them insight into other people.
2. A main part of both plots is finding out the truth behind a past crime.
3. Tough, cynical FL and a soft, gentle ML where FL stands up for and protects ML.
4. Lots of cute domestic slice of life moments, IHVY is cohabitation and MLL is neighbors.
5. Emphasis on the importance on truth and lies in relationships.

The story in IHYV is a more melo, faster paced plot with higher stakes, but it's a sweet romance about the transformative power of truly loving and always supporting someone. MLL is cute but it's much slower in pace and the story falls apart in the second half, you have to hang in there for the romance.

1. Complex revenge plot spanning families and generations.
2. A ML trying to save and protect FL that ends up being saved and protected by FL.
3. Deep dive into an investigative profession (law) that can be used to defend people's civil rights and justly punish crimes OR protect people in power and ignore the powerless.

But I Hear Your Voice isn't a good vs evil superhero story like Healer. IHYV is about how one person can't save someone (let alone the world) alone, it takes a community of people working together against a broken system to make it happen. Less escapism, more social commentary but still lots of swoony saving and epic story/characters arcs.

Both have:

1. A famous author ML who has a secret in his past related to a novel.
2. A hardworking FL trying to find her dream job.
3. A love triangle with an endearing, adorable SML.
4. A large cast of characters where love of books and writing are the common bond.

Chicago Typewriter has a fantasy realism style with magic and reincarnation and the characters have exaggerated circumstances but the story is a long love letter to books and relationships. Romance is a Bonus Book is more slow slice of life with a noona romance and semi-realistic drama but it's also about how people relate to each other through literature.

Both have:

1. A ML and FL who bonded through a past traumatic incident and were separated. ML searches for FL for years to protect and repay her.
2. Super sweet slice of life cohabitation where the leads learn from and heal each other.
3. A complicated sismance between FL and SFL.
4. A thriller plot with a shady figure from the past who has it out for the leads.
5. A fantasy feel but mostly realistic.

And written by the same writer! The romances feel similar since they're based on the deep trust and understanding between ML and FL. Both also have inspirational career journeys, a large cast of characters and some tragic situations, but are heartwarming stories about people overcoming adversity and failures in the system through helping and supporting each other.

Both have:

1. A lead that's suspected of murder whose name has to be cleared.
2. A poor FL who becomes a lawyer after lots of setbacks and struggles.
3. A ML that wants to protect the FL and is willing to make sacrifices to do it.

But Suspicious Partner is more tropey, silly and OTT while I Hear Your Voice is more serious, melo and shades of gray. Both have important things to say about justice and the law, but the characters and cases in I Hear Your Voice were better developed and the story overall was more tight and meaningful. Suspicious Partner is fun but the writing is weaker and the leads are kinda 2D.

Let's Eat is all about connecting to friends and family through food while the legal drama, noona romance and serial killer stories are sub-plots. It's light and comedic with some scary bits and is more a comforting slice of life watch than a romance.

I Hear Your Voice has the legal drama, noona romance and serial killer stories as the main plot while ML and FL sharing and cooking food for each other is their love language. It's very funny at parts but more serious, tragic and romantic over all.
