- Strong and smart main role with hidden identity

- The groups can't live without them

Both are action dramas and involve plot of conspiracy in big companies and government. Both main characters try to make their revenge. Also both meet pretty girls on their way to do so.

Both dramas are noona romances and deal with cohabitation of friends. In Long Vacation, the two leads are strangers then friends then lovers, whereas Wednesday 3:30 pm, the two are reunited childhood friends who become something more.

Noona romance with some forced cohabitation. There are lots of side characters in both that serve to move the story along, and aren’t just filler. Both male leads are very sweet and devoted while the ladies come off as incrediblely unsubtle at first.

Both deal with noona romance and involve some degree of forced cohabitation. Male leads are very sweet and devoted men while the women are sweet inside but initially come off strong to say the least.

Both stories revolve around a older woman/younger man pairing, whose lives have gone massively wayward from where they thought they would be. Through their interactions with eachother, they both learn to be more confident and to chase after their dreams. Long Vacation is epic in both natural acting and superb use of side characters, but slow dance comes close.

A traditional family, a strict mother-in-law, a girl from the city with no homemaking background, and weird characters. The main difference is the lead male, where in Hanayome wa Yakudoshi is a guy with family complexes, in Virtual bride it's a different kind of complexes. Both are fun to watch.

Both shows are escape room based, where a team has solve puzzles in order to leave/finish the mission.

Both dramas deal about a group of people that tries to fight for koreas sovereignty. Both are quite powerful when it comes to father land, fighting for what one believes to be right and international relations.
Both dramas have well thought through stories with people that jump between the sides. Also both have quite interesting spies.

These two are similar in their darker aspects of crime. They both are psychological to some extent (Evil Minds more so than SCI). While they can both be described as kind of procedural, Evil Minds is more so centered around the bigger picture and SCI not as much (but still has elements of a larger theme).

Both shows have double male leads (yay) and are both based on novels. Of course, SCI came from a BL novel but Evil Minds did not, so there's that difference in terms of deeper character relationships. Still, I'd say, somehow, the relationship in Evil Minds is just as good, if not better than SCI because it's more developed (and there's a s2)
