Both have them are pretty similar. The kid in wonderful life is the only addition.
The story about the ml and sfl and fl and sml are literally the same. If you liked one you'll enjoy the other

I was surprised there was no recommendation for these two. Even though in Wonderful Life they married because of pregnancy, they both have the same type of love triangle with the second female lead and the "wife." The main male lead are also similar in terms of their love for both female leads, and the couples are also always fighting in the beginning and eventually learn to cope with each other.

Delightful Girl, Choon Hyang and Attic Cat are similar friends to lovers. Both dramas are well paced and the actors are great.

Both dramas have a strong female lead and a dumb male lead.
Both dramas are funny but Choon Hyang has a more melodramatic moment compare to Fight for My Way. Both males lead have someone else as their first love and their close friends also become a couple.

Both are an interesting drama to watch. Choon Hyang is underrated here but it was considered a very successful drama during the first wave of K drama. I encourage you to try it out.

I thought this was a better "arranged" marraige drama on every level and it contained very few frustrating aspects overall. This one was much, much better than DG,CH and if you liked DG,CH you will probably enjoy this one as much as or more.

Both have an obsessive suitor and both incorporate past lives into it. The chemistry between the two leads is quite similar as well for they have a similar relationship and both leads have similar personalities to the leads of Delightful Girl.

The plots revolve around the same topic, family relationship, and early unwanted marriage. At first, they dislike each other so bad that it turns into several funny incidents but that's what made them closer, which eventually leads them to fall in love. Both dramas have a pair of male and female antagonist, that seek love from the main leads and try to split the couple apart.

Saimori Miyo was the unfortunate child of a loveless, arranged marriage. After her mother died, her father brought in his lover and her own daughter, Kaya. From then on, Miyo's life was reduced to that of a mere servant. Even worse, while Kaya inherited the family's psychic abilities, Miyo had none—she was truly the daughter with no merit. After years of being treated like dirt, Miyo has learned to keep her head down, hide her pain, and obey every order. So, it comes as no surprise that she is arranged to be married to Kudo Kiyoka, a military captain rumored to be so cruel that he has driven away every one of his potential wives so far. From a painful upbringing to a painful marriage, that's the future that awaits Miyo—or so she thinks. Contrary to her expectations, her new husband is actually kind-hearted. What really awaits Miyo is a blissful, everlasting marriage full of happiness!

Both a misunderstanding regarding sleeping together (though in this drama they start out in high school) Both of them funny,but dramatic The lead actress is nice and cute just like this lead actress while her husband is mean and likes someone else just like this show.

Both dramas have these funny skits at the end/begging of each episode. Delightful girl Choon Hyang has historical skits while the main story is set in modern time and King is not easy has modern skits while having a historical setting for the main story.

Both dramas are written by the same team and it shows, they both have strong female leads who have to go into hiding while their "fated" love finds them. (I liked delightful girl best tho)

This is a "what if?" story which puts a twist on the folktale of Chun Hyang and Mong Ryong. It's very short and worth the watch. Recommended for those who liked this drama.

In Delightful girl the lead male is engaged by his parents but holds a former love in his heart. in MaeRi the lead female is engaged by her father and holds a love in her heart. The are certainly different MaeRi has way more music, but Delightful Girl has a happier ending.
