SLA is a lot more scandalous, dramatic, intense and not fluffy - but still - having watched both back-to-back I saw a lot of similarities between the MLs.
Not just in optics but also how sweet they were and how much they adored the FL right away who is older and their respective trainer/teacher
FIY is about sports; SLA about pianists.
Both have intense and good chemistry, kisses and skinship :)
