Lost Romance is about a woman being sucked into a cheesy CEO-love romance book. She finds out that she's supposed to be the side character that bullies the FL of the romance book and is determined to capture the heart of the CEO while being friendly with the real FL. The relationship is hate-to-love.
Memories of the Alhambra is about a VR game glitching and becoming part of real life (it's hard to explain. Let's say that you were shot in game and die, you die in real life too. And, if you take off your VR glasses, the game console doesn't disappear). The relationship is also hate-to-love.
Both of these dramas focus on the death/coma of an important character and both focus on survivor's guilt.

Memories of the Alhambra is about a VR game turning into real life.
Meanwhile, Extraordinary You is about the characters of a comic book becoming self aware and trying to change their fates.
At first, these may not sound similar, but if you look harder you'll find many similarities.
Ignoring the fact that the relationship in Memories of the Alhambra is hate-to-love while Extraordinary You is more of a soul-mates relationship; the way that the main couple interact and try to change the foreseeable future is very similar. And the premise of both are being stuck in a fantastical world.

Both dramas are written by the same screenwriter, both involve a male lead being entangled into supernatural events in which he needs to unravel mysteries to get him and/or his loved ones out of trouble. Both are about escaping from fate in an attempt to manipulate certain rules or principles that bind the supernatural events.
in both dramas:
*gaming/virtual reality theme
*ML is good gamer, long time in this and now owner/boss of company/team in this field
*ML is self confident, cold, arrogant and focused on business/goal
*ML had close friend/partner with whom he was starting in gaming field, but now he is rival
*FL falls in love first, chases ML but he isn't interested long time, isn't focused on romance at all
*ML is older and more experienced then FL, and they are very different people (nothing in common, at list for first look)
I think Memories of the Alhambra is better drama, more complex, interesting, dramatic and overall on another level though both dramas are really good and catchy
