Same vibes
Two characters one of them with terminal illness, and kinda the last journey. I prefer Mr.plankton gor being more realistic. Close to normal ppl life, and not having side story with involvement of other ppl in love story or break up. There was pure love short journey which no one hide their emotion, everyone are honest with their feeling and never act for each other anyway I enjoy both drama a lot.

Male leads of both the shows are rich and seem to be short on time. Both leads have destroyed the female leads' lives. Both the dramas are melodramatic.
The same dying in three months trope.
The one who is dying has family issues
The one who is dying is rich and the other is poor
