Similarities:

-Both have the woman feeling like she needs to get her life together.
-Both have an older man and older woman bickering (although the bickering in Last Cinderella is 100X worse)

Differences:

- In LC, the female lead is seen more as an old man while in DNWNKK, the female lead is feminine.

Both of them are based on Josei mangas. While "Please Love the Useless Me" has a more funny approach, "Hapimari" is a bit more serious. Both of girls are in a difficult financial situation and the main lead help them.
Also, Dean Fujioka is the main lead in both of them!
Enjoy :D

Both shows have kind and innocent female leads. The male leads in both take a while to appreciate the female leads.
