In both dramas the leads (and more characters) are connected by a past life. In Extraordinary You it's a "story" but it still counts as a past life since for the characters it was their life. In both cases it's revelead in later episodes that this other life exists and what happened in there and how it connects the leads and the other characters.
Also *spoiler* in both cases the FL forgets about the ML towards the end but the ML remains by her side anyway, trying to make her remember they were in love.

Although they've got very different premises, if you're into dramas where the main couple are absolutely destined for each other by the stars then you can give this show a go. The leads in this show go through time and all laws of physics to be with each other, somewhat like how Jieum dedicates a whole life and a half to finding and being with Seoha. ATCY has romcom aspects somewhere in the middle of the show, but the emotional turmoil definitely trumps it all. Be warned.
Both dramas tell moving love stories with reincarnation as a major plot device. See You in My 19th Life focuses more on a love story between two people. Chicago Typewriter tells the story of three protagonists whose past lives are part of a historical era that marked the entire country. But both dramas explore the kinds of emotions, bonds, and actions that leave marks too powerful to erase.

See You in My 19th Life earned 9/10. Genie although causing offensive, could be 7.5/10
Genie, Make a Wish and See You in My 19th Life both blend fantasy with heartfelt romance, using supernatural elements to explore love and destiny.
If you enjoyed the emotional pull and imaginative premise of one, the other offers a similar mix of magical circumstances and character?driven storytelling.
Both were developed under the umbrella of Studio Dragon, which explains why they feel stylistically similar.

Both have a mystical element and a bittersweet history of love with trauma and a lingering past. The vibe of Jirisan is much more serious and mystical, but sweetly enough, I am convinced they even filmed a scene in the same location. See You in My 19th Life is much more bubbly and the characters are younger than in Jirisan.
