They are both psychological dramas in which the ML holds back his feelings to protect everyone around him. The difference is that one's about a psychopath serial killer father and the other is about a antisocial personality author.

Both male lead have a psycopath serial killers as their fathers and being a psycopath son made them have some sort of psychology issue...then the female lead come into their live and give love to the male lead and that make them different and prevent them from following their bad father's foot step... both series show how the male lead overcome their issue with the love and support from their love one.

Both dramas have plots that really key in on past traumatic events that connect the main characters together. Both dramas also use a justice system/police theme for the storyline as well. Come and Hug Me doesn't have any supernatural elements like He is Psychometric, but the emphasis of the male and female lead meeting each other at a young age then solving the traumatic past experience when they're older is strong.

Both dramas deal with a backstory where lead actors were teenagers and then progress to them 10+ years later as adults. In both CaHM and AE, the flashbacks are skillfully woven into the story line. I enjoyed these two dramas very much.

Both dramas centre around a very traumatic event that happened to the main characters on a cold christmas day in the past.

they both give out the same vibe, a strong cold male lead and a sweet bright competent female lead~
the overall crime genre are different, one is a gangster and one is a cop son of a murderer, but they both have that tough but sweet character..

Similarity : In both the shows, the leads have intertwined fate as teenagers and as they grow up. Both meet and grow fond of each other but part because of an accident as kids. And then they grow up and meet again. While the MLs blame themselves for the past, the FLs grows stronger through the trauma, and helps the ML grow stronger as well.

Difference : Come and Hug me is way more intense than Thirty but Seventeen. Thirty but Seventeen focuses on many characters including the leads and is more light hearted and warm. Come and Hug me is a dramatic romance-thriller that fills you with all kinds of emotions.

Final Point : Both are must watch as healing dramas. They are about overcoming the past and giving yourself a second chance.

In both the protagonist works as police officer and suffers from discrimination, because his father is convicted for murder.

This is the story of a tragic love that spans 12 years. When they were children, Yoon Na Moo and Gil Nak Won were each others first love. They are forced to break apart when Na Moo's father Yoon Hee Jae, a psychopath serial killer, murders Nak Won's parents.

9 years later Yoon Na Moo is known as Chae Do Jin, a passionate and kind rookie detective wishing to atone for his father's sins. And Gil Nak Won is now Han Jae Yi, an aspiring actress following in the footsteps of her mother. She suffers from a panic disorder but still has a good outlook on life. However, the sadness of their past comes to light again and their short-lived encounter is over before it began.

Another three years on, Jae Yi has become a popular actress and Do Jin is now an experienced detective. When their fate becomes connected once more, will their love prove to be stronger than their past?

Both dramas depicts dark family ties with psychopaths. Both murderer believe, that hero (policeman/detective) are like them.

Very different kinds of dramas but upon rewatching Come and Hug Me, I realized the ML's way of taking care of his sister in the past reminds me of the ML in Ugly Alert.

That and the fact that the ML is misunderstood due to the actions of a family member and there being a murder that caused this misunderstanding makes both dramas slightly similar to one another.

Ugly Alert is more focused on family and has a much slower plot compared to Come and Hug Me tho.

Characters meet and bond as children due to events surrounding a parent's murder. Once leads are together they are incredibly devoted and willing to do anything for each other. At one point one of the main characters are stabbed resulting in the other holding them and begging for help. Happy, healing ending after much tragedy.

Based on the synopsis of this drama. I somewhat resembles with I Hear Your Voice. Both dramas have leads who are connected together with a murder case.
