Ugly Alert (2013)

The premise is so similar that one may think Ugly Alert is inspired from Happy together. There are some differences in story but a lot more similarities. The OSTs are also good in both dramas.

Both shows have step -families that overcome poverty and estrangement. The main couple have to overcome class differences and family disaproval.

This is the longest drama I have ever watched
starting from the child actors to the main cast, everything is flawlessly.

Difference: there is not bad parents and it is korean drama.

Similar : the story starts when they are child and
the Big Brother take care for his siblings when their parents pass away.

The good is leads dont break up under any smal circumstances.
There is second lead couple
Focused to family .
Understanding each other.
No dangerous villains.

Both about step siblings,
in both- the father is a thug,
in both- parents die and siblings from the mothers side blame the step father,
in both- prosecutor younger brother
in both- both brothers like the same girl at one point

Both the shows are about a person being accused of a crime they did not commit and about families sticking together.

I find Ugly alert better, but if you’re looking for a shorter and similar drama, It’s okay, daddy’s girl might share the same warmth.

I know they have different genre, bit there are still some similarities. Both main leads are innocent and had to sacrifice for their love; one is love for his lover while the other is love for his sibling. On both dramas, the male lead fell in love with the stepdaughter of their first love.

both is family drama and it show great family bonding and the issue that raise in a family. its a good feeling on how the family stand together in facing whatever issue they encouter together..of course dont forget on the love story..love both the show and i really recommended both drama.

in my life of kdramas ive only watched a few relatively long ones, these 2 I started thinking they might get boring and then ill drop them but they were both sooo good! if u like one i'd rec to try the other.
both have a very pitiful main lead in the beginning. In ugly alert its the ml and in my golden life its the fl. Both go from rich lives to poor ;-;
Personally, I liked ugly alert better. pls don't get intimidated by the episode count! i cant believe no one told me abt this gem before bc I ended up loving it sm!! if u think u wouldn't wanna watch smth over 100 eps, just trust me and first watch the first 10 eps and then decide if u wanna cont or not (I bet u will)

Five Sibling with oldest one raising all other. but it has more shouting and most of the time other siblings are ungrateful but still good.

They both have very likeable main characters who capture your heart, and the side characters are well developed. They're both well rounded, and invoke a spectrum of emotions - happiness, tears, laughter, etc. They're both amazing dramas. While they're both long, they're also entertaining from the first episode to the last.

They are both family drama but not limited to the blood line definition of family. It gives you enough warmth, a drop of comedy and funny remarks and a whole new attitude towards your own family. Highly recommended.

Similar plot about family not related by blood. I found Ugly Alert more touching though.

Very different kinds of dramas but upon rewatching Come and Hug Me, I realized the ML's way of taking care of his sister in the past reminds me of the ML in Ugly Alert.

That and the fact that the ML is misunderstood due to the actions of a family member and there being a murder that caused this misunderstanding makes both dramas slightly similar to one another.

Ugly Alert is more focused on family and has a much slower plot compared to Come and Hug Me tho.

Ugly alert follows a story of two families being combined by the marriage of their parents a wife who as a daughter and a son and husband who has a son and later had a daughter together. Don’t wanna spoil to much but tragic events happen and both parents pass leaving the son of the man to take care of his three younger siblings which latter result into them hating him both dramas are heart warming family dramas although it’s a lot of ep it’s worth the watch

A bunch of spoilers ahead, beware
