Both of them got a documentary format which follow our main lead couple story. Moreover the documentary take place twice which leading the female lead and the male lead to be reunited a second time. For both are a love to hate and again to love romance.

Both follow three millenial couples trying to sort out adulthood. Because This is My First Life, however, is 1000% + better. Actually has points and themes to be made regarding gender expectations, ambitions, and finding purpose in life and the value of life long friends in uncertain times.

Literally the same set up these two connected on a island getaway but soon realize they don't know much about each other, things gets complicated, we always present our best selves when we are on vacation or somewhere new. The passionate romance and sizzling chemistry and lots of good kiss scenes from both the dramas

Both follow a same age range group of friends-turned-lovers and offer a refreshing slice of life romance with lessons on friendship. The friend group in LSITC has very similar chemistry compared to the FFMY one.

The lead couple from Lovestruck in the City have basically the same story as What comes after Love, they met in the beach (instead of Japan) and the ML instantly falls in love with the FL (she is quirky, different), they have a short relationship, but very intense, before the FL disappears. Its shown as flashbacks and in the present he cant get over her, and resents her even tho its been a while since, and she feels guilt but tries to keep it to herself.
What comes after Love and Lovestruck in the City have VERY different approach, while one is a melodrama the other have a lot of comedy and other couples

Both dramas are set in modern urban environments (mostly Seoul) and focus on relatable adult relationships.
They explore the messiness of love, breakups, and reconciliation, rather than idealized romance.
Characters in both shows go through emotional introspection—they often reflect on past mistakes, what love means to them, and what went wrong.
Small, daily moments (like cooking, walking, sharing music) become emotional anchors in the love story.

As much as both the drama titles appear to be poles apart, the beginning of both the romances are similar in nature. The female leads in both the drama have a tendency to escape from their city lives when the going gets tough and move away to remote areas where they find their future love interests.
Bonus: both the male leads know how to surf and look fine while at it!
