K-Drama
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.

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

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.
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
