Nobody Knows has a similar cross generational friendship, but swapped. Cha Young Jin is the adult counterpart (reserved, strong and caring like Lee Ji An) to Eun Hoo who is kind, sweet and responsible like Dong Hoon. Nobody Knows is not entirely slice of life, as there is a mystery element and some violence, however it is also very sublime and focused on the growth of the main characters and their relationships.
Both series shares a cult leading people to believe in lies and covering crimes by involving past incidents that has nothing to do with an event happening in present. The lives of people closely tied with each other, it shares crimes of human beings.
People who are trying so hard to uncover truth & powerful people supporting the cults are creating obstacles.

Both leads are very similar when it comes to their character and both dramas are in general having a lot of similarities as well. Both deal about leads that suffered a devastating loss in their childhood, and both got shaped because of that. Both became police officers due to that and both are faced with a crime that hits very close to home.
Both dramas are similar as they highlight the difference an adult's influence can make in a child's behaviour and upbringing, although the nature of relationships shown in the two are different. Both feature strong female characters who will do anything for their respective children, and kind caring teachers who work with the main characters to get to the bottom of the mystery.
