Marriage, Not Dating (2014)

They're both tvn dramas, and both main leads have exes who get between the main couple.

Marriage not Dating, is more of a "contract relationship" and not a contract marriage like Love In Time.

MND has the same premise though, falling in love while in a "fake" relationship like the other drama.

Cheong Song Yi from YWCFTS is very similar to the female lead in MND and this is noticeable from the get go. It's almost like one inspired the other. However, there is no Do Min Joon personality in the male lead. He'd like to think that he is a Do Min Joon because his character is motivated by an intrinsic desire to be alone like Do Min Joon but for very different reasons.

However, they are alike in that they both have overtly outgoing females come into the lives of solitude seeking males and just throw their world apart and make them realize what they were missing.

they all have lying about being in a relationship and getting married though the story lines are sort of different

Sincerity and mature conversations. Both dramas offer a breath of fresh air. Both have comic moments and unexpected situations are solved by communication..in this dramas its characters actually tell their problems to others and work to solve them.

IF you like marraige not dating here is an similar drama that you might like the starting of the drama is the same but different background. Synopsis: young illustrater xiang who had just stepped out of the ivory tower and longed for a happy married life, unexpectedly met lin heng yu an dentist who had always advocated for cellibacy

A character that has to get married but don't want to comes up with a plan in introducing a fake 'fiancee'.

Both males bring a female home in hopes of keeping their families quiet.

- both are funny but also dramatic
- female lead likes second lead at first
- quirky but funny character
- same feeling

Both dramas are Contractual relationship though the Chinese drama is a bit longer but people who watch Chinese dramas know that its a must that they will have many many eps.
Both dramas have Annoying second female lead who cling to the ML eh irritating brats. Why come now? You lost your chance girl!!
Pathetic Ex-boyfriend, I think all contractual dramas must have the pathetic boyfriend, oppss EX

you will find similar atmosphere or feeling...
some characters are quite similar and so the story..
and also the craziness comedy <3 :DD
if you love this drama you will definitely love the other one :)

Some may disagree since the situational set-up is not the same (ie in Marriage, Not Dating they are not in a boss/employee relationship but a contract marriage relationship) but I see very strong similarities between the FL and ML interactions.. The ladies are both straight up FEISTY: physically feisty and argumentatively feisty and determined-to-be-themselves-when-they-don't-necessarily-feel-accepted-by-society feisty. In both dramas, the MLs are equally assertive and give back as good as they receive and you can tell they subconsciously like the challenge the FL puts up as they find themselves falling for the girl against their wishes. The banter is right up your Beatrice&Benedict alley (my favorite type of romance to watch).

Both main guys don't want to get married, but their family is pressuring them, so they pretend to date a girl that their family won't like.

- fake marriage
- ML is a CEO from a rich family
- independent FL, also loud and quirky
- great chemistry
- a lot of fun

It has most of the same comedy vibe. In one they're pretending to be a couple, in the other one, one of them pretends he is gay.
