Both dramas have similar vibes, where the male lead is a little jealous and domineering.
On the other hand, in both dramas the other male protagonist is more shy and adorable

Main leads in both dramas are coworkers and one of them is slightly envy of the other for being better at job.
(P.s: the color pallette of the posters are kinda similar ?)
Enjoy

Very different series however one thing they seem to share is the love.

Boht leading couples talk things out and communicate. They’re also very accepting and try navigating in society with their target-of-affections being uncommon.

CPL is about 2 people in the work force who strive to succeed while various obstacles block their way. People, career, mentality, self-doubt, jealousy; they are conflicted with several moral dilemmas however they continue to proceed through the treacherous waves hand-in-hand.

ITWY otherwise known as KNKSM is about 2 high school kids who end up falling in love. One kid fears that other kids his own age will not accept him for who he is so he hides his sexual orientation and turns it into a joke. The other kid has many responsibilities because of his family situation but as an honest and bright kid, he just can’t seem to leave the insecure kid alone.

Honestly I love them both and I just want more people to also enjoy these two dramas.

Similarities
- ADORABLE pairing
- the relationship starts off pretty quickly in the first episode, then we follow along as they fall more in love
- "awkward" lead and "cool" lead make the perfect power couple
- side characters are supportive of the relationship

Differences
- workplace romance versus school romance
- one couple tries to keep the relationship a secret while the other is more open (or at least doesn't deny it when confronted)
