- 3 x badass female leads

- Both tackle issues of sexism

- 3 x unique perspectives of love.

- I would say BTIMFY focuses more on marriage & WWW on career BUT both explores women’s lives and the stigmas society still has.

Both drama are about a contract relationship that blooms into love and understanding. Opposites attract and life-doesnt-go-the-way-you-want-it are themes that appear in both drama.
Though BTIMFL is more of a slow paced and mature slice of life and Begin Again is more active and playful rom com, both drama couples had an amazing flow. Both drama could easily become off putting due to the plot itself but the actors in both cases did a really good job delivering their roles. You might not understand or agree with the mcs' choices so keep that in mind.

Due to family circumstances, high school student Miko Sonoda is forced to live at her uncle's boarding house. However, before she can arrive there, Miko is already met with a bad omen: while trying to find the place, she suspects that someone is following her! When her uncle comes to her rescue, the assumed stalker happens to be one of his tenants, leaving Miko embarrassed on her first day.

Miko learns that she will be living with five unique adults, including the accused man. Additionally, it turns out that he is Jun Matsunaga, a 29-year-old designer who seems to lose his temper easily. Having made such a humiliating first impression, Miko believes that only a miserable life awaits her. But in the presence of Jun, she comes to realize that living with adults is not so difficult after all—and there may even be enough room for romance.

Both dramas center the three long-term female friends and the plots are simple yet show a slice of life in a comedic relatable way. Both are the kind of dramas which we can cry and laugh and feel relatable at the same time. And Im jin joo and Yoon Ji Ho give off the same vibe, both are the scriptwriter and brave yet weird in some ways.

Both are comforting drama! Both female leads struggled to find a new purpose in life. These drama tell viewer that it is okay to take a break from social life and to start again when ever you are ready.

Both dramas share the theme of finding home and hardships of house hunting that average people encounter.

Because This Is My First Life starts with main female lead trying to find a place to live and subsequently moving in with a housemate/contract husband.

Home Sweet Home depicts a story of an architect who is newly engaged and is trying to find suitable house of her dreams while not being rich.

Both stories have similar "real life" atmosphere and end up with life lesson.

- Both dramas depict lives of 30 year olds but portrays different struggles that equally resonates.
- Cohabitation
- Seemingly introverted / closed off ML
- Lovable side characters
- Filled with goofy, laugh out loud moments
- Both leads growing together
- and most importantly... FLUFFY PETS!!!

Thirty But Seventeen is currently the only drama I have ever felt that closely resembles Because This Is My First Life. There was even a instrumental cover of BTIMFL ost on one of the earlier episodes of Thirty But Seventeen that is absolutely delightful to hear :)
