Similar in core elements like:
Emotionally intense MLs
Romance entangled with crime
Hidden identities / truths
A loyal, enduring love
But — Beyond the Clouds is more grounded, plot-smart, and classically tragic with a slow-burn payoff, while When the Phone Rings is more about vibes, angst, and emotionally charged moments, even if they sometimes stretch believability.

Not necessarily similar storyline but similar undertone. While watching "Just between Lovers" I kept thinking this kind of reminds me of"Secret love". Then I noticed, the writer of both dramas is the same. Well then.
Both dramas are very well written, great dialogue & chemistry between the Leads. True gems both!
