Both series feature a really famous (and pretty good looking ^^) actor falling in love with a newbie. The main characters are pretty similar in both series, and their relationship is really cute, if a little odd.
Both are romancromance stories set in the entertainment industry. Main characters start out very similar - older guy who is already established in the industry looking down upon a naive newbie girl because he thinks the reason or method that she came to be in the industry isn't legitimate. Their feelings for one another change over time - although much more quickly in Imitation than in Skip Beat.
Breaking up with boyfriend just because she's chasing after her idol! How ridiculous... More ridiculous thing is that she finds herself in the bed with her dream idol when she wake up the second day! The most ridiculous thing is that for the sake of her idol's reputation, they become a fake couple...

Both manwha have the same idea of falling in love with a popular male idol and the issues which arise from it such as media or jealousy from fans.
However, they differ in that 'I was XXX By my Idol' is about a fan and main guy while in 'Imitation', the main girl is also an idol. Imitation focuses more on other idols while 'I was XXX By my Idol' doesn't.
Dong-hyuk has one go-to hobby: lusting after the beautiful actress Hwa Riae. Others might call it a mid-life crisis since he’s almost 50 now, but who cares? He still thinks she’s the hottest person to ever walk the face of the earth. But he sure wasn’t expecting to meet her in real life… and definitely not as his son’s girlfriend, or just maybe, his future daughter-in-law? Dong-hyuk tries hard to deny his feelings, but Riae’s even sexier in person. And going by how she looks at him, looks like those sparks aren’t one-sided, either…
