The difference:
FL in LLtG have a more intense family drama then YG, in this case LLtG's mom was cruel to FL, whereas YG's bio-mom died, so her stepmom was cruel to her. LLtG's mom had a very complex way in order to protect her, most of which comes from guilt. YG's stepmom is just.. evil.

The premise that a peaceful life is suddenly disrupted by war is also a similarity between the two dramas.
