Both have FL with lots of sass and attitude. Both work in law. She could not care less about the victims.
Both ML are orphans whose parents were murdered. He suffers from being too much of an empath and cares a lot about the victims. He's initially disappointed at the FL for disregarding the concerns of the victims. The murderer who killed his family comes back and the once empathetic ML begins to lose faith in the law.
The FL begins to become more empathetic and becomes a better lawyer/judge.

Overall themes are different but romance vibe, chemistry and relationship between ML/FL are similar:
*age gap (older woman)
*ML was in love/adored her for 10 years,
*ML adores her so much and actor plays that so good, he looks at her with such eyes... chemistry is so strong (mostly because of ML and his facial expressions)
*FL is linked to big/emotional moment for ML when he was child/teen, after that she becomes his kind of idol and purpose, after that for long time (10 years) he wants and dreams to meet her and be with her, be equal with her.
*FL is really strong woman, independent, successful, quite individual (not standard strong FL)
*ML is young but quite mature, serious, priced and loved from people around him.
*though FL is strong woman, who doesn't much need to be protected by men, and ML is younger he anyway wants to protect her all the time, his biggest purpose is her wellbeing.
*for long time ML hides from FL how big was his crush for so long time, that h was thinking about her all the time for 10 years.

You'll love this if you want a vicious villain like in I Hear Your Voice. Shin Sung-rok acted as one perfectly. It's about a fierce competition over money that depends on trust, (lies), and deception. A favorite of mine! The story will keep you watching until the end (and wanting more). Also, Lee Sang-yoon and Kim so eun made a great team.
• ML in IIMH can see the past, while the lead in IHYV can read other people's thoughts.
• MLs have had a life-altering encounter with the FMCs in the past.
• The FMCs are strong, independent women who are great at what they do.
• The couples in both series work together to overcome their adversities.

Both MLs witness the death of a family member as a child which traumatizes them and has a fantasy physical side effect (hearing minds vs. not growing). They become attached to the older FLs who helped them, and search for the FLs when they become an adult, finally reconnecting. Both MLs fall for the FLs first, but she views them as a kid at first.
The relationship between Wako and Iko is similar to Hye Sung and Soo Ha...minus all the sex scenes...and the sex itself...but for the age gap, it is pretty similar in context....that a younger man actually adores and loves an older woman...I like it that this concept is not looked down upon in society....atleast in a drama...
The relationship between Sumire and Momo is similar to the relationship of Hye Sung and Soo Ha....very sweet and cute...and there are also "older" or appropriate man that is better off for the FL's in theory....but the feeling of love is simply not there...or they love the younger guy more...and they both have this connection from the past, in the ML's and the FL's younger days...when ML was still a boy....watch it and you will know what I am talking about
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.
