The plots aren’t similar…but both dramas has a smart lead that has a certain disability that society often perceive as incapable of emotional involvement especially in a romantic way.
In both shows the thought of ‘maybe it is’ & ‘maybe its not’ did pop in my head with their relationship but it certainly didn’t stop me from hoping & cheering for it.
Both are also excellent dramas in their own right & highly worth the watch.

Both dramas are crime solving and thriller, mystery , suspense, action. The main lead of the drama is detective. the male lead in both dramas seems to have dark past and have something to hide. Both dramas have many twists, turns and surprises.

But as she learns more about Jason in her pursuit to uncover the truth, she begins to fall for him. Seeing her in this state, Rok Hwan feels a tinge of jealousy.

both are thrillers which kept me wanting to continue on to the next episode. Great casting and acting as well.

The general feel is quite simmilar- deception, society issues, crime, family and love.

Both keep you on your toes until the very end and are highly engaging, with beautifully written, complex characters and intriguing and suspensful storylines.

Both drama has the story of keeping a person alive on machine secretly. The love one would not let go of the person.

The stories both revolve around fighting for justice

There are many similarities in terms of plot points and even the framing of shots. So much so that it’s clear that the makers of FOE had been influenced by MOAM. Giving examples would be giving spoilers. So I’ll just mention one. A car accident shown repeatedly as a flashback. Each time it’s shown, it reveals new information.
