BOTH:
- deal with male lead and female lead lives being intertwined by their friends and family
- love happens between male and female lead due to tragedy of a loved one (male lead loses loved one in Secret) (female lead loses loved one in Uncontrollably Fond)
- DECEPTION theme - male lead is deceived into believing female lead did wrong when really it was someone else but still male lead falls for her in Secret / in Uncontrollably Fond female lead is deceived by many close to her who know the truth including male lead but he still chooses to fall for her
- both dramas filled with pain and misery
- female lead in both are pitiful, poor and stoop very low to appeal to the rich at some point

The summary states “People change but can the heart adapt?” that’s exactly what Kill Me, Heal Me plot is about.

BOTH:
- FL the will adapt to ML sudden changes due to his mental illness
- Male leads in both have a mental disease except KMHL is more psychological and Uncontrollably Fond is more of a incurable disease, can’t be managed.
- Both ML’s lose their memory eventually and don’t know who they are and who those around them really are
- Rich male lead except in KMHL the male lead was less of a jerk

Similar vibes

BOTH:
man and girl/kid form a heroic relationship
man is hero
girl/kid becomes damsel in distress
action packed
genres: action. thriller, crime
very strong male lead
male leads are avenging the death of someone close to them

Similarities:
- Ongoing dramas in 2nd half of 2021

- Magazine in Kanojo wa Kirei datta deals with fashion (it is remake of K-Drama, She Was Pretty I believe)
- FL struggles financially which leads them to the job the ML works at
- ML and FL met once before before meeting at workplace

- Mean male lead who will eventually soften up with Female Lead
- FUNNY office co-workers / supporting cast

Different:

After watching 9 episodes I'm reminded of "Lost in 1949" with every episode

Similarities to Lost in 1949
- involves Communists party
- revolves around 1949 + liberation
- mentions Security Bureau
- romance between a communist and non-communist
- espionage/spy/action/historical/war drama themes
- smart female lead role played by the same main actress in "Lost in 1949", Regina Wan

Differences
- female lead is not as clueless about the communists party as she was in "Lost in 1949" drama and she is not as timid, she is portrayed as strong physically and mentally
- male lead has a respectable/upright job
