Had to research twice to make sure but both medias were released with the same title, the same premise by the same author on the same year but different months.

Of course one is an 8 episode miniseries and one is a movie - both played by different actors respectively.

- Both dramas tells a story surrounding corporate environment.
- Both main leads had a rough life, in which they suffer from unfair mistreatments and also looked down by their surroundings.
- Both main leads are very intelligent and extremely inspirational.
- Both main leads lack opportunities, hence they have to proof their worth through hard-work and perseverance.
- Both leads start from zero and work very hard to achieve success, meaning that the FL in "The Ideal City" doesn't have certification to become an official cost engineer, on the other hand, ML in "Misaeng" doesn't have any college degree.
- Because they lack qualifications ("TIC" FL doesn't have certificate and "Misaeng" ML only work as an intern who doesn't have any college degree) - they both suffer from mistreatment, where their work were stolen by the higher ups.
- Both dramas also deals with office politics, which portrayed a very severe and harsh reality.
- Both dramas have little romance, instead they tend to focus more on the main leads growth in the industry.

*Bonus
I noticed that both are filmed in a similar fashion. Especially the tone of the setting, where they use a warm-toned filter.

They are similar in terms of:
- They're both are in historical setting (to be precise, in kingdoms)
- Female Lead is knowledgable about food and they're known to make such outstanding and revolutionary food/culinary that were praised by other characters in the drama.
- Female Lead is in the situation where they are forced to marry Male Lead
- Female Lead is reluctantly to do skinships with her partner, and her partner doesn't force her to do so.
- Female Lead doesn't know etiquette inside the Palace
- Female Lead is smart (not academically, but more of a street-smart type or witty)
- Male Lead is pretending to be not who they actually is (in Mr. Queen, the King pretended to be dumb and weak, while New Life Begins 6th Prince is pretending to be weak and is trying to lay low on purpose)
- Male Lead chases Female Lead first
- Both dramas are very comedic
- Both dramas are light hearted, not too much melodramatic elements
- Both dramas showcase the life of a man with concubines (in Mr. Queen the FL is a queen, while the concubine is evil side-character, on the other hand, New Life Begins FL is a concubine)


The differences are:
- Mr Queen is a fantasy RomCom drama while New Life Begins is a normal RomCom drama
- Female Lead in Mr Queen is strong headed and badass, on the other hand, New Life Begins Female Lead is more timid
- In Mr. Queen, FL can only rely on her husband and her maid servants, but in New Life Begins, FL is actually making sisterhood bonds with a lot of females - the wives and concubines of the Princes.

They are similar in terms of three women who have tight friendship, though Sweet Teeth is a pure Romantic Comedy drama and Thirty-Nine is a tearjerker drama. However, despite the two totally different storyline, if you're interested in seeing jealous worthy sismance between three women, then the two dramas are totally worth watching.

Furthermore, I think Sweet Teeth is focused more on the relationship between the three women and their partners and Thirty-Nine is more focused on a beautiful and touching story about the friendship of the three women.

These two are similar in terms of introducing Korean Culture in Europe countries.

DopojarakL Story of Homme the K-Wanderer focuses on introducing and selling Korean cultural items to Danish people - while Youn's Kitchen 2 introduces Korean food in Spain by opening a Korean restaurant.

Both showcases healing type of variety show.

Both have the story of ML and FL who are both single parents with adult kids decided to marry each other and have a blended family. ML and FL kids are unable to accept each other at first, but slowly becomes a happy family.

In "Be My Dream Family", ML's kids were afraid FL is marrying him only for money, but "Marry Me Now?" is the opposite, FL's kid was afraid that ML family might take advantage of FL finances.

If you like big blended family drama like "Be My Dream Family", then you might like "Marry Me Now?" too
