Both dramas involve mature and second chance love. Both have an airplane/airport theme (less so for Tell Me That You Love Me except the first lady lead used to be a flight attendant). Both dramas are deeper than the average romance drama because they have to overcome society's expectations and social rules.

A drama about mature love and second time round. Both sets of protagonists have been hurt in life. Both sets of protagonists are looking at changing their lives and starting a new chapter - whether they're pushed into it or made their own choice to embark on a new chapter.

A mature drama about love that isn't about passion but a steady love. It is also about a couple who have to face society's judgement in order to be together.

Also centering around mental health and psychiatry, It's Ok focuses more on someone living with the condition in society rather than the hospital and medical context.

Similar vibes of camaraderie between hospital staff, taking care to listen to patients and going beyond just providing medical advice but also providing care.

Also about public officers who oversee an outdoor jurisdiction. Jirisan had a whole mysterious backstory and isn’t about policing. There is also a lot of action, much more than in Han River Police.

About front line heroes who face action packed situations and solve crime. Also has some comedy and light hearted scenes as well as bromance and competition.

Same country vibe when a newbie moves into town and everyone initially rejects them until they later learn to accept and appreciate the newbie.

Same country vibe of living in a small town. Trying to escape from an unhappy life, reset and re-find one's purpose in life.

Same theme of country folk who care for each other like family. It can be sometimes annoying when everyone else is in your business but you realise later they also genuinely care for each other.
