Both deal with suicide/attempted suicide and depression. (They don't necessarily say that outright, however one main character from each movie has similar feelings of sadness and/or hopelessness.) They both also feature a main character that gets better/feels better when another character becomes close to them.
Both are similar in that one of the male leads leaves his office job due to workplace-abuse and learns to enjoy life a little more with the help of the free-spirited male lead.
To Each His Own focusses more on workplace abuse and handles serious topics such as suicide while Restart is light-hearted in comparison and focusses on the relationship between the male leads.
Both are exceptional and if you like one, you're likely to enjoy the other.
