- these realizations are triggered by death/near death event.
- female lead has higher status than male lead
- the female leads have another courter and the male leads are jealous over them

their relationship is kinda similar bc in the present we see them struggle with their relationship and theyre not in sync they fight and we see flashbacks when their relationship was good so in both cases we wondered what went wrong in their relationship and throughout the series we see the reasons of why the relationship failed and we see how they reconcile again and that they always have loved each other its just that the circumstances prevented them from resolving their conflict and basically miscommunication between the two
In both dramas, the leads lost their kids which eventually lead to their marriage go astray. In IHAL, the ML is the one from the rich family while the FL is the rich one in QOT. Both FL became cold after losing their kids. Unlike ML in QOT who have the backbone to stay loyal and ask for a divorce, the ML in IHAL had an affair because he felt lonely. Since IHAL is amuch longer drama, you gonna get a very makjang style drama. It is still fun tho
