"Game Over" is a line used by both leading men.
In Pride there is a contract relationship. In Personal Taste it is cohabitation. In both while spending time together, the leads slowly grow an affection for each other. A lead believes becoming a couple/a "real" couple would be impossible due to circumstances (already taken/wrong sexual preference). An absent/neglectful parent. The male lead's work plays a big part in both dramas.
Differences: Pride is not a comedy.

Main lady also have a fake best friend who is very much jealous of her life and a shit boyfriend/husband who betray her with the best friend. In both, main lady starts being sweet and kind. Their strength comes with main guy's help. There's no time travelling or an elaborate revenge in Personal Taste but main lady learns (more slowly) to stand for herself.
BUT, however, Personal Taste is from 2010 and some plots didn't age well. If you can overlook it and not watch it with an anachronistic thought, it's a good fun and see Lee Min Ho and Son Ye Jin it's always good. ?
