A group of women supporting each other in friendship as they deal with life and romance problems. However, it's at the next level because its realistic relationship problems are in a more post-marriage setting. A good mix of fun comedic moments contrasted with serious heartbreaking moments because sometimes life happens that way. This isn't their first life, but it just might be their first happy ending.

They both have beautifully written characters who break out of the standard tropes. The things they go through and the way they react in both shows make for unique stories.

Both dramas are quite realistic, yet have funny moments. While Failing in Love is a drama about teenagers and their struggles with school and first loves, Because This Is My First Life is a drama about adults at the beginning of their 30's , dealing with life problems such as marriage and work.

If you are looking for a drama that focuses on parks of marriage, you should definitely try Matrimonial Chaos. One of the main plots of BTMFL is Marriage, but it is the only plot of Matrimonial Chaos! But the acting of those renowned actors will blow your mind with their mind-blowing deliveries!

If you liked one of these two, it's an assurance that you'll also appreciate the other. These two dramas have a few similarities, to name a few:

1. Both believe in the beauty of strangers. In both their first episodes, we clearly see how each show highlights healing with the help of strangers

2. Cinematography. Both shows have a similar color scheme and feel.

3. Maturity. Both shows evidently show mature leads that contribute to how beautifully the stories flow.

Both cover similar topics. Some scenes especially involving the in laws are very similar. The big difference is Because This Is My First Life covers concerns for married couple without being concerned about issues that come with having a child. Kim Ji Young also explores situations related to having a child.

- Jung So Min is the main girl in both of them
- Both main guys are somehow related to real estate (In MMH he's a real estate mogul, while in BTIMFL he just owns a home)
- Main girl is jealous they own a home in both dramas, and ends up renting from them
- Both main guys are stingy (MMH because he worked hard to get his money and in BTIMFL because he owes money on the mortgage of the house)
- Both main guys have more standoff-ish personalities
- Both are lighthearted romance dramas

Obviously, both have Lee Min Ki in it. Although BTIMFL is more preppy and happy, they both are in the slice of life genre, showing the events in the mundane lives of normal people. They both discuss certain topics that are quite relatable to the public, like insecurities, societal pressures, relationships and their fragility, workplace toxicity, and just the overall hardships of being a broke young adult with nothing to your name.

Both these dramas are about a group of female friends. While The Best Moment To Quit Your Job is about women in their 20's making their first step in the professionnal world and and their subsequent struggle to adjust, Because This Is My First Life is about 30 years-old women we follow as much as in their professional than personnal life.

Also, TBMTOYJ is more of a slice-of-life drama, BTIMFL is a romantic comedy with depth.
