Unexpected tells the story of a man who is transported inside the world of his own manga (manhua).

The general plot is very different but they both feature the 'trapped inside you own story' story.

Both female leads are chefs. Using their amazing skills in cooking they eventually gain power, money and love.

Both are foodie dramas, with the female lead being a master chef.

Chef Fang has more mystery mixed into it. The male lead is the son of a magistrate and they try to solve cases while enjoying the delicious food the female lead makes.
