I was really shocked how similar I found those two titles.
Not by story, but by aesthetics.
I thought, I was convinced, that those titles are connected by the same director and yet I was wrong which is amazing.
Still I think that JBL has better acting and music than DAYS (hehehe I just did ‘days’ while typing the shortage of the title, lol).
Yeah, but the vibe in DAYS is like mix of JBL and Goblin.

Both the film and the drama deal with the trauma that happens to someone once they have been caught in a building collapse. One is a natural disaster, while the other is a human one. If you liked the healing nature of this drama, you will love the film.

The main characters have suffered trauma and are emotionally and physically damaged. ML doesn't value his own life much and comes across as a tough character at first but later has the softest heart toward the FL. Hopeful ending, despite all the suffering. Also similar tones and city night scenes.

OSN might feel like a cozy drama, but it is a devil of pain in disguise. definitely not light.
After watching OSN, it is making me crave another romantic-melodrama. Like I said it is deceiving; making you think it is a cheerful one when it is really full of suffering and tension. I do recommend SITR after OSN for something very similar but slightly brighter, but it is actually making me crave watching something like Just Between Lovers to ease the suffering. The same sadness and slow romance. They’re very much alike.
They are beautiful and cozy pieces of art that put you through so many suffering sad emotions.

Both ML and FL suffer/have suffered loss or trauma. Both heal and slowly move forward with each others' help. The tone was similar in many ways.

Here's My Plan has more dark humor while JBL is more soft/melo, but they both have a slice of life feel and show characters dealing with difficult life and family circumstances.

Both leads have suffered loss or trauma and are distanced/cut off from society. The ML has a history of getting into fights. Both have a melancholy tone with a theme of slowly healing.

Similar slice-of-life feels and romance
Romance is slow, steady and understanding (super cute)
Very cute and slightly immature/childish male adults with mature, empathetic and tsundere-like female leads

Having mentioned this by a couple of users in the comment section, I agree that they are similar in certain ways. Even though The One and Only just have released 2 episodes, I can already similarities in the main couple. They are both scarred by their traumatic childhood that heavily influenced their present lives. In JBL, it seems that the main leads are positively influenced by their childhood (like how they chose their career) but I can not say the same for the couple in The One and Only.

Not your typical love story.A realistic drama about the hardships and struggles in life. A great storyline about finding true love. A must see for everyone who wants tearjerker dramas.A plausible performance from the actors and actresses. I just loved everything about it.It shows the real meaning of love and family.

Mad for each other seems more like a comedy at the beginning but gets more serious as the show progresses. Just Between Lovers is more melodramatic. Both shows have a love story about healing and people struggling with mental health issues. JBL shows PTSD and alcoholism while MFEO shows anger management issues, paranoia, PTSD and social anxiety.
