It's unusual to compare a short movie of an hour with a drama of 7 episodes, but despite the fact that the format is different both dramas are pouring of sweetness . Although the situation and scenery is different, the story is alike.
Nevertheless the actors and characters are totally different, so there might be some interesting plot twists and surprising moments in watching that. If you like this movie, you have to watch Shanai Marriage Honey.

Strangely, I want to recommend a drama that is quite opposite and will be interested in what others might think. At 7 episodes each, both are pretty short and a quick watch although Marriage Honey's episodes are 24 minutes vs. 44 minutes for Noble My Love. I LOVED Marriage Honey but Noble My Love, not so much! Still it has a high rating on Viki so maybe it's just not my cup of tea particularly. Both dramas feature plucky spirited FL who seek to do the right thing in consideration of other people's needs above their own. While the ML in Marriage Honey is a good guy from the start and patient and tender with his new wife, the ML in Noble is the typical arrogant bully who cares only about himself. Of course you know what will happen in the end, but if you read my review, I wasn't even rooting for main leads to get together. SL was a better match who really cared for her. In Marriage Honey, both leads are so likable and loving towards each other that you will just smile nonstop as the couple's love grows deeper and deeper. So freakin' sweet to watch vs. "this is so short I might as well watch to the end."
