Both series focuses on a group of mothers and their children’s education.
Both series features mothers with a secret.
Both have a mystery/ crime event.

Secret Mother is more about the FL finding her sister.
GMC is more about motherhood and how the characters grow in their journeys as a parent & dealing with their ‘secrets’.

Both set in a small town village with a crime case to solve.
Both with deadly secrets uncovered.
Both has great acting.

Both have a similar premise where the cast tries to form a girl group/ debut together.

Both have Hong Jin Kyung, although instead of being the MC for Mama, she is part of the girl group in Sisters Slam Dunk.

Both have similar premise of forming a girl group out of popular figures/ celebrities.

Both have Hong Jin Kyung, although instead of being the MC for Mama, she is part of the girl group in Sisters Slam Dunk

Main difference is that Sisters Slam Dunk focuses on the dream of each cast member, so the girl group dream spans across a few episodes, whereas Mama is a whole season.

Similar premise from the same writer- a poor woman goes into a very rich family’s household to work.

Makjang drama, cheating hijinks and complicated family dynamics will feature in both. There’s also a mystery / crime whodunnit as the overarching plot.

Both explores injustice and the exploits of a corrupt system from an old case.
Both very solid crime/ legal dramas

- 3 x badass female leads

- Both tackle issues of sexism

- 3 x unique perspectives of love.

- I would say BTIMFY focuses more on marriage & WWW on career BUT both explores women’s lives and the stigmas society still has.

- In both, the main leads seek revenge/ uncover the truth behind a grisly murder.
- ML/ FL both connected via childhood event.
- Both try to fight injustice & corruption.
- The female antagonist in both are from a legal background & have ruthless and intelligent characteristics. They are willing to do anything they can (including morally wrong or questionable actions) in order to get the power or success they are striving for.
- Both delves into complicated family dynamics (but executed differently)

I’d say the main difference is that GF is more ‘makjang’ style & delves more in the drama and dynamic between the characters. LA has more action focused scenes.

Similar off-beat, comedic tone.

Both crime-solving related & features quirky characters.

Both good to watch when you want dive into crime stories but not wanting the heavy thriller-like intensity!

Fancy watching a crime procedural? But looking for something lighter in tone? These dramas are for you!

What both have got in common:
- Crime procedural -esque
- Action scenes
- Quirky characters
- Humour

Don’t let the lighter tone fool you, both feature excellent crime stories & cases. TFP has a stronger overarching arc, whereas TB has a more case of the week style.

If you want to watch another female led trio series.

Different workplaces and I would say Search WWW is less comedic & more character focused.

GC has its funny moments and there’s a bigger overarching plot.

Both feature badass women.

Similar setting of a larger than life female lead, given a punishment to deal with humans.

Both have a strong supernatural element, although I would say HDL focuses more on the afterlife. MPUB has potential to touch more on the theme as the series progresses.

Similar ‘human or story of the week’ style to the episodes with an over arching plot across the series.

HDL has more of a cemented romantic plot whilst MPUB focuses more on the trio. However both have a family theme.
