Fake It Till You Make It

装腔启示录 ‧ Drama ‧ 2023
both shows portray matured adult slow burn relationships in urban settings.
in both shows, the leads are doing well in their respective professions and the MLs are respectful of the FL--of course in WIHST the ML has a menace-mouth, so whatever he says comes out mean but the character arc shows how he improves with time, especially with the FL's presence in his life, who appears the more matured, warm, understanding of the two partners.
in FITYMI, the ML comes across as relatively more more matured, warm, understanding of the FL, though in this show there is no pretense of entering a relationship--they casually date and flirt--before realising their relation is more than that.
In both cases,the leads start off bickering and then graduate to friendships (solid ones) that form the basis of their relationships.
ALso, MLs in both shows gorgeous and FLs beautiful.

The couples in both series have reservations towards dating due to bad past romantic experience and they proceed to seek resort into each other. Both shows have the elements of friends-to-lovers and slice of life.

Slice of life, workplace drama focus on the female lead career who started from zero in the hotel industry.

Both dramas about work life in the CBD (the struggles, the masks). Showcases how different personalities attempt to make it in city life. Relatively slow/realistically paced, quality cinematography, occasional narrative voice overs from leads.
Differences:
MSH: leads are lower economic standing; theme of strong bond of bromance; ML falls in love at first sight with FL
FITYMI leads have desk jobs (higher economic standing) and ML and FL become friends and then slowly fall in love with each other

Rom-com work place drama focus on bank investment industry. Cute and funny, with the handsome and beautiful lead as eye candy, I'll bet you will enjoyed it.

Both covered the love story of professional working adults who act like adults, with both female leads and male leads inherently a very independent people yet managed to find comfort in each other's presence.

They are equally sexy. You will get butterflies in your stomach watching both. Both female leads to show interest towards the male lead before the actual relationship, instead of acting like they are being forced.

If you enjoy LTHY and are looking for a compelling coming-of-age romance story, fake it till makes it is the answer. Both dramas are full of romance, temptation, flirting and capable lawyer woman. It's just that in FITMI the character development is better... both dramas are very good

Realistic setup, excellent cinematography and direction, natural acting. Plenty of laughs and contemplation about the lives and stresses of urban professionals.

Proper workplace drama: tight competition, exhausted people, busy urbanlife. But growing up as someone who gradually understand the meaning of life, also having someone that truly support you & see you as a human being are beautiful journey. Mature relationship with push & pull, bravery & restraint. The competent couple is trying to navigate life. We can grow up gracefully for both personal & profesional side.

Both dramas feature independent, hard-working professionals who change each other for the better. The MLs in both have a similar vibe, and both are great examples of opposites attract.

yes, these two dramas are different, but there are some common themes
- leads in investment banking (MOMO both leads are in)
- FL has significant growth in their career
- FL is a great worker (committed to work, at one point, overcommitted) bending over backwards for work, but learning work-life balance
- Presence of a strong female mentor character for FL
- Slow burn romance
- FL has another pursuer for she had a one-sided love previously (but FL now likes ML)
- overarching theme of chasing your career goals

MAJOR DIFFERENCE:
-FITYMI has the moral theme of "city life making people fake, but at the end, people are most comfortable when they don't have a mask on anymore"; MOMO has the moral theme of "standing up for yourself, especially as females"
- MOMO showcases an alarming amount of verbal abuse from ML to FL (as her superior)
- FITYMI romance is more flirty but mature
