Someone else actually pointed out the similarities… both deal with abuse, fish and passion (sex).
I really really enjoyed goldfish wives and I watched under your bed and liked it enough to watch it to the end without skipping. I’d give it a shot if you enjoyed the series. The movie (UYB) might not be everyone’s cup of tea but I really liked the ending.

It only has a common theme of domestic abuse and other controversial topics. To save the victims, the main characters have gone overboard with their measures, for Love in Sadness— medical malpractice while Under your bed— (more) obssessive stalking.
They have different stories and perspectives. In the drama, it is like a third person point of view, while the movie is more first person POV.

Under Your Bed takes a more-creepy-less-sweet approach to the very similar situation in 3 Iron, but is very good nonetheless.
While 3 Iron is near dialogueless Under Your Bed is a lot of narration with occasional interactions. I love both films despite shipping the leads in 3 Iron while standoffishly.. understanding(?) the leads in Under Your Bed. Under Your Bed is certainly a movie to watch and appreciate from a good film perspective, not one to go into expecting to be rooting for your lead character. As long as you can realize that a film can be about something bad without promoting said bad thing, I think you’ll enjoy it.
