Ayaka, who works at the bridal department at a hotel, has a beauty that everyone recognizes, yet her personality is the worst. Everyone calls her a "wicked woman" after the way she wraps numerous men around her finger. The one who sets his eyes on her is the hotel's new executive Togo, who is the son of a very powerful person of the town. What are the orders that this King-like man requests of her!?

Obviously, both have Lee Min Ki in it. Although BTIMFL is more preppy and happy, they both are in the slice of life genre, showing the events in the mundane lives of normal people. They both discuss certain topics that are quite relatable to the public, like insecurities, societal pressures, relationships and their fragility, workplace toxicity, and just the overall hardships of being a broke young adult with nothing to your name.
Both these dramas are about a group of female friends. While The Best Moment To Quit Your Job is about women in their 20's making their first step in the professionnal world and and their subsequent struggle to adjust, Because This Is My First Life is about 30 years-old women we follow as much as in their professional than personnal life.
Also, TBMTOYJ is more of a slice-of-life drama, BTIMFL is a romantic comedy with depth.

This might seem like one that people might not think of. Both stories are about a man who is generally well off, though one more than the other. They each decide it is for the best to enter a contracted relationship. Pushing off unwanted attention from family and from blind dates. They women obviously getting their fair share from the deal. Of course the first rule is NO DATING, but we'll see how long that holds up. The women take the opportunity to re-evaluate their lives, where they are, what they want, and what kind of person they are really looking for. The stories end nice and clean and cute, and are both fairly simple, dealing mostly with regular relationship problems.
Both drama's explore the personal struggles of adulthood. They both give an insight on the struggles of a woman against society and the perception on how they should be living their lives. Both main female characters live together with the male main character as well as focusing on other supporting characters that have their own struggles.
These dramas have a similar overall pace. They start with certain events that work as catalysts for the main plot focus, they have significant character developments and they explore questions that relate to love, family/friendships/work/romantic relationships, while characters are still learning about themselves.
The couples have amazing chemistry too!
