In both plots, ML is much wealthier than FL, but they become closer due to the unique plot point. (Body Swaps/Pretending to be a Robot)
FL is hardworking, works in a more unusual field, and is generally relatable.
Secret Garden has quite a lot of mean interactions, both between the leads and with other characters, while I'm Not a Robot is a bit kinder/more heartwarming. Both romances have an "us against the odds" aspect.
