These drama's have A LOT of similarities. Both of the leading males are rich and they both have similar friendly & supportive secretaries. Both of the male leads have a close friend/brother who becomes somewhat of a love rival, and like the same girl. & there's more that I just can't think of now.
The leads' interactions are very similar in both. Also, there are many repeated scenes in both.
Both tells a story about a girl with some money issues. In both dramas the girl has 2 guys who likes her and what's even better; in both dramas the guys are cousins. Both of these dramas have super hilarious comedy and similar female leads. Oh well but it's a given since the female lead is played by the always so amazing Lee Da Hae ^^
1- The same female lead [ Lee Da Hae ] .. almost the same character funny, cute & energetic ..
2- In both dramas both of the male leads are rich cousins who turns to be love rivals ..
3- In both dramas the female lead have financial problems..
4- In both dramas the lead male have supportive secretaries ,however in Hello! Miss he's friendly and funny ..
Lee Dahae lies a whole lot in both of these, and both of her towers of lies eventually crumble. Jang Miri lacks the sweetness and morals that made Yoorin lovabl and redeemable. If Yoorin did not have an accomplice in Gongchan and My Girl was washed about a million shades darker and angstier, these would virtually be the same drama.
Both dramas hold beautiful and funny moments. Usually the girl lead brings big laughters and each time pisses off the male lead, but as they encounter each other every day and time passed by, they fall in love. The plot will move you from happiness, to a bit melodramatic. If you're watching either one and loved it, you'd definitely love this too!
Both dramas have a poor female lead, rich male lead and a fake identity trope. The leads are in a contract relationship in order to fulfil the wish of the male lead's grandfather. In Business Proposal they are pretending to date whereas in My Girl they are pretending to be cousins.
Both are very fun to watch, have that loud and quirky heroine and in contrast the cold, quite hero (well the guy in my girl isnt that mean, but you know...!)And of coarse there is the pitiful second guy who is absolutely obsessed with the girl, but she cant help but be in love with the mean guy. And both feature the ex girlfriends that you wanna murder.
Both of these dramas are classic Korean Romance Dramas. If you like one, chances are high that you'll like the other. Both of them have female leads who change throughout the story.
Both female leads are hilarious
Both dramas star fiesty female leads who are also relatively poor.
Both these dramas have a female lead who doesn't take crap from anyone. Both are also employed by people who they fall in love with.
The big similarity between these dramas is the deception of the main female playing a rich (heiress) girl when she is actually rather poor and working several jobs. Money is the main protagonist into making them take this step (although Lee Da Hae plays more of a con artist, while Yang Jin Sung plays the hardworking innocent girl), which in both cases concludes into the girls falling in love with someone they supposedly have no right to. There is also a fall in the shower/barthroom scene in both dramas ;) Also, the forbidden love between siblings (as much as the leads can be considered siblings, when everything is only a con) takes on only a subplot in Bride of the Century, while My Girl lives out every angsty moment of it. Though, the big dissimilarity between these dramas is the supernatural/horror plot to the Bride of the Century - nevertheless, both dramas never fail to deliver the comical moments, as the girls bring their own breezy thinking into the lives of the stiffly rich.
Two of the goofiest most adorable and wholey loveable female leads I've seen in K-dramas. Both are on the poorer side and are gold-diggerish (in a relatable way), while the male leads are rich and stern.
The plot line is exactly the same-- spin on Anastasia. The lead actress is incredibly cute and loveable. Beautiful secret has more frustrating characters though.
