Different plot entirely but both play on the fact that the leads have a link. In Unexpected they share senses whilst in Link: Eat, Love, Kill they share emotions
they are both made in the same year - 2022
same genre - thriller, mystery, comedy
also, romance.
as a choding and newer viewer in this genre, I love that it deals with dark themes like crimes and killing, but the atmosphere is lighter making it easy to watch even for someone like me :)

- both played by yeo jin goo
- both involve ordinary police rather than detectives
- townspeople are equally suspicious and could be added to the suspect list
- both lost their younger sister when they were young

if you liked
- mysterious or creepy past events ( more psychological background in IOTNBO as of now, though we have a percentage of that also in LinkELK )
- mysterious or creepy characters ( more psychological cases and people in IOTNBO as of now, LinkELK markets with the viewer's hunch and suspicion on any featured character )
- janet suhh OST that sets the whole atmosphere for the story ( the artist is present in both LinkELK and IOTNBO )
- art style that feels similar in terms of the atmosphere ( creepy fairytale in IOTNBO and creepy culinary in LinkELK )
- a " murder " that is not featured as passively in LinkELK as it was in IOTNBO ( it plays a major part in the LinkELK and a major sub-plot in IOTNBO )
- the main characters are not different in terms of complexity
most obvious differences
- LinkELK is set in a realm of fantasy whereas IOTNBO is set in a realm of psychology
- LinkELK feels more story-driven and IOTNBO felt more character-driven
- the main characters are different in terms of personality and family background

They have the same fate especially their parents. They blame themselves for it. Both mother from these dramas doesn't like the male lead.
similar murder mystery with romance and little bit of fantasy elements
multiple side couples
tragic backstory in the past with angst male lead

both crime mystery thriller fantasy with comedy elements. its about a man and woman sharing same emotions. Gye Hoon is a chef whose twin sister went missing.
ML feels emotions/pain of FL which is the driving force of them being involved with each other.
FL is unaware of the connection at the start.

The first episode of Link: Eat, Love, Kill gave me Suspicious Partner vibes, in the drama's tone and style as it shifts between thriller, comedy and romance. Sure enough the writer and director are the same, so we could probably expect a similar style. For now, if you're looking for something to binge while waiting for LELK episodes, you can check out SP.
Will update this once it completes airing.
