Nevertheless adaptation is Japanese.
Male Lead: Yokohama Ryusei
Female Lead: Minami Sara
It's partially the same thing hence why it's called adaptation...
But do remember although the plot is similar there's probably difference if you look at it as individual parts and scenes.

-Is beautifully cinematic and features people in the arts
- Features a romance between a mildly older genius of the field and a newer entrant into the field
- Female lead had a terrible relationship that just ended making her tentative to start anew
- Male lead has ongoing personal issues that make it hard for him to commit and keeps a lot of secrets
Nevertheless: The Shapes of Love is quite slow and dreamy a little bit too serious, but it stuck with me a lot and is worth a try

Both:
- Have a very cinematic, artsy slow feel
- The plots are about creative people (one artists, the other writers)
-Are about relationships between adults, that feels like adults. The relationships are 'lived in' not just crushes dancing around each other for the whole series.
-Have the standard romantic plot points: highly competent talented man, less established surefooted woman, two alternate love interests that 'should' work better
Differences:
-One is fully set in Japan, the other goes back and forth between Japan and Korea
-One is more short term but has more sophisticated themes, the other takes place over long periods of time with time skips which gives it a more epic, ambitious feel

Minase Ama, a rookie idol, spends her days enduring harassment from the members of “LUNA NEST,” led by Saotome Anna. Amid this, Ama is guided by the popular actor Hosho Chiaki, whom she happens to meet by chance, and ends up serving as a stand-in for a drama.
Chiaki takes an interest in the pure and innocent Ama, and at the urging of his mischievous friend Asakura Kairi, who proposes a bet on whether Chiaki can “win Ama over”, he approaches her playfully. However, when he witnesses Ama growing closer to her co-star and on-screen love interest, Hachimura Rintar?, feelings of jealousy begin to stir within Chiaki.
Meanwhile, Ama comes to Chiaki’s aid when he is being pressured for money by his biological mother, Natsumi, and he gradually finds himself drawn to her sincerity. On the other hand, Ama awakens to her path as an actress and auditions for a new project by the up-and-coming director Tanuma, steadily beginning her journey as a performer. Yet this only fuels Chiaki’s anxiety and jealousy, and his affection slowly transforms into possessiveness and obsession.
As the relationship between Chiaki and Ama deepens, a mysterious actor named Seira, who knows of Chiaki’s past, appears before them. With Seira’s arrival, both Chiaki and Ama grow increasingly restless.
