Both dramas are about a married couple who is not married for love and both couples face difficult decisions and situations. Both dramas also have something to do with unfaithfulness and in both dramas we have very strong women who are willing to cross lines for their work. Both dramas are very, very, very mature and are so powerful that one has to stop often in order to keep on breathing.
Both dramas have also gotten an ending that robs one of all the last piece that was left while watching them.
They are masterpieces of no comparison.

SLA is a lot more scandalous, dramatic, intense and not fluffy - but still - having watched both back-to-back I saw a lot of similarities between the MLs.
Not just in optics but also how sweet they were and how much they adored the FL right away who is older and their respective trainer/teacher
FIY is about sports; SLA about pianists.
Both have intense and good chemistry, kisses and skinship :)
