Both shows are written by the same people and have a very similar feeling. They seem cute, innocent and lighthearted on the surface but address problems in society at the same time, especially concerning women’s rights. There are very progressive themes in both shows that you don’t find in most dramas. I highly recommend them both! I promise you won’t regret it :))
Ho Goo's Love similarly follows Uee as a young, single mother, except in that drama she was a national swimmer before becoming pregnant and running away on her own. It is definitely a lighter drama with more comedy, but still delves into deeper issues in society that reminded me of the way Marriage Contract went into the issue of single motherhood and illness. Basically, watch Uee's amazing crying and acting in this drama too!
while they are completely different in genre and tone (My Beautiful Bride is an action thriller, Hogu's Love is a light hearted romantic comedy), they both feature stories of first loves and fate. If you liked the love story between the main characters in My Beautiful Bride, you'll find the story in Hogu's love very satisfying.
If you liked the quirky characters and the humor in one drama then the other might suit your taste :) I would say that both of these dramas have a similar feeling and ironical take on life, even if Ho Goo's Love is way more humorously darker. Also, all characters doesn't seem far too predictable and have their own drive, which is not always directly revealed for the viewer.
Both dramas address heavy themes while managing to be lighthearted and funny. In Definitely Not Today, there’s a lot of dark humor and two very unusual protagonists who are quite different from each other but end up finding reasons to follow the same path and grow closer.
In Ho Goo's Love, there’s also plenty of humor in a serious situation and two protagonists who are very different from one another. Both dramas feature a strong female lead dealing with trauma and a complicated situation (with a lot of funny moments) that forms the central story of the dramas, alongside a male lead who is soft, clumsy, yet very determined when it comes to supporting the female lead. The difference is that the male lead in Definitely Not Today also has his own traumas, whereas the male lead in Ho Goo's Love does not.
One is a normal length Kdrama (16 episodes of 1 hour) and the other is a short Cdrama (8 episodes of 20 minutes), but both of them are worth it.

Both deal with the issue of trauma and romance, but Mahiro no Tsuki portrays a much more real look and feel of the trauma that she went through whereas Ho Goo's Love, the writer really didn't do proper research of the aftereffects of such trauma. Both were very good drama's, but Mahiro no Tsuki did a much better job of it. Enjoy... :)))
Both dramas feature female leads who are in positions of social stigma but learn to love their lives confidently and accept love. Both dramas feature social themes that are often not portrayed and offer refreshing social commentary. Both dramas are a little more serious but feature enjoyable performances and leave lasting impressions.
