My Lovely Sam Soon (2005)

Both dramas star Hyun Bin as a rich businessman who likes to banter with the female lead.
Both dramas have female leads who have strong personalities and can hold their own in the banter.
Both start with the female lead disliking the male lead, but eventually falling in love.
Both are funny

Cooking and falling in love. The atmosphere is similar but Kim Sam Soon is better and more complex. You could say that one is on the serious side while the other stays cute.

Panda and the Hedgehog is a sweet rainy day series. If I have to say something good about it..even if you don't think the main pair has chemistry..you will be giddy about the bromance.

The plot is the same.
First male-female lead have a problem with love because of painful past love. The male lead's ex-gf left him without any explanation. The female lead's ex-bf left her because of his affair.

The female lead has problem with her name and want to change it to, accidentaly, a same name like the male lead's ex-gf. The male lead has miserable memory because someone that he respected the most (in this drama his hyung) died - and in his perception - because of him.

Then the conflict begin. the exes from both side return and pick on the leads' present moment. The male lead become indecisive between her ex and currently gf. The changing-name problem and so on..

The side story too. There is a story about female lead's eonni that has crushed with female lead's chef chief at work (female lead is pâtissier in the male lead's restaurant).

But I like My Name is Kim Sam Soon much..much..much more than AMO. Besides I watch this drama with this kind of plot first before AMO, it gives a good, healthy, hillarious, entertaining, witty comedy scenes and better story development for me.

These two are very similar and I'm surprised this wasn't recommended already~
- Male leads are extremely similar- rude, rich and always bossing around the FL.
- Male leads both have someone they haven't gotten over.
- Both are from the same era of kdramas so the humor is similar.
- Contract relationships in both.
- Enemies to lovers/Hate to love in both
- Both have similar pacing.

Both encompass the same style and feel of the older Korean rom-coms with a bit silly and unique but determined female leads and cool but a bit aloof/proud male leads.

relates to the baking aspect of the movie.

Both dramas are similar being the type romcom that deals with topic of female leads who were hurting from an abominable cheating with the mean second male lead/boyfriend.
First male lead is working with female lead in the same domain when first he misundertands her, but when they meet everyday, the relationship blossoming into a romantic way, moving from enemies to lovers.
Cheating boyfriend looking to redeem the female lead when becoming jealous as first male lead and female lead being so close to each other.
Heartbreaking moments and shedding tears of female leads who are so honest and so look alike in personalities.

Its about an older woman with a younger guy. Its not a love hate relationship but she is just not interested at first. Also problems with the family because of the age gab. This drama is adorable, never gets boring, i totally recommend it to you

The thai drama is based on the korean one.

Both about an "unattractive" woman and a rich "jerkish" guy.

Typical romance drama

The comedy in these dramas is similar and the way female leads act is also similar. Both are great dramas that no one should miss.

when i re-watch My Name is Kim Sam Soon, i noticed the similarity in Lie To Me..
the flow of the story is quite the same...the rich man and the hard-working girl made a contract to become lovers for their own reason then the ex-lover of the male lead came wanting to start again..
both romantic and funny drama and also the love-hate relationship..

both dramas involve a dating contract that turns into a real relationship & both also showcase family owned food businesses.

I recommend this both drama because , Male lead and Female lead
try to solve problem
In one drama explosion and another student murder/suicide

This might seem like one that people might not think of. Both stories are about a man who is generally well off, though one more than the other. They each decide it is for the best to enter a contracted relationship. Pushing off unwanted attention from family and from blind dates. They women obviously getting their fair share from the deal. Of course the first rule is NO DATING, but we'll see how long that holds up. The women take the opportunity to re-evaluate their lives, where they are, what they want, and what kind of person they are really looking for. The stories end nice and clean and cute, and are both fairly simple, dealing mostly with regular relationship problems.

In both dramas they deal with food and romance.
