Both are contract relationship dramas.

- ML is a rich handsome CEO from rich family
- FM is energic, kinda loud a little quirky but normal girl whose parents own a fried chicken place
- both dramas have similar fun energy and great chemistry

- while similar setup and character backgrounds, both dramas are different enough to not feel like a copy of each other

Same Rom-Com aspect to both of them. The plot is somewhat similar in both of them. They both fake a marriage so the male lead can protect his house which he values a lot. The female leads are loosely similar in the way that they think of marriage the opposite way that the male leads do.

both are hilarious from the get-go, and have great stories while avoiding typical kdrama cliches.

Both dramas focus on the contract relationship trope. They give off a similar feeling. Both very lighthearted and fun to watch. Nice chemistry between the leads and some very nice kissing scenes.
I watched "Marriage, not dating" some time ago and I've been looking for a drama with a similar feeling since then, "Something About 1 Percent" met my expectations perfectly, even though I enjoyed the later a bit more.

Both dramas are laugh out loud in their comedy but still hits the right spot to make your heart ache at times. I love both for being an all-out comedy in the that IT IS a romcom. Characters in both dramas are so real, you get embarrassed on their behalf.

Both are about marriage and pleasant to watch.
In 'Marry him if you dare' exist an love triangle as in drama Marriage not Dating.

Both of these dramas are romantic comedies, though I would say Fated To Love You leans more to the drama and Marriage, Not Dating is slightly more comedic. They both feature a lovable cast and fun story.

While LWF focus is on the childhood connection and the misunderstanding that tore apart the main leads, MND is more about two people striking a deal (pretending to be together) in order to get people off of their back. Having said that, both shows share some commonalities, such as:
> The plots are light-hearted and not to be taken seriously.
> The characters are eccentric.
> Both show a love triangle involving two guys trying to get one girl.
> Family is an important component of the show.
> The leads don't like each other at first (hate to love trope).
> Leads develop a friendship.
> The FL doesn't care how she comes across.
> The ML suffers from a childhood trauma.

While the plots of She Was Pretty and Marriage, Not Dating are totally different, both shows give off a similar vibe. They're both rom-coms where the male lead is adamant about not falling for the female lead but slowly ends up doing so. The female leads in both shows are lower in status (than the male lead), and a little eccentric and over the top at times but, without meaning to, end up capturing the attention of the male leads. The chemistry between all of the characters in both shows is good as well.

Watching Cunning Single Lady,I get the same carefree fun vibe I got from Marriage Not Dating.At first,the two shows differ but they still remain two dramas about two couples that are together for convenience (FL in CSG and ML in MND).Also the ML from both dramas appears cold but is actually kind.
