Both main heroes suffered from depression in their youth (and tried to commit suicide at a certain period of their life)... A friend of them then got into an accident and died (therefor they felt responsible for their death) and visit therapist.
The female lead is being chased by another guy who likes her very much.., but also very much like the main male lead as a friend. Their manly rivalry/friendship bickerings and fights all over the girl are very petty and cute at the same time.
In both the hero and the heroine met at first as children.. and later as adults. All have atleast one missing parent (even if they were later on adopted by the partner of their related-by-blood parent) and that might have caused them some suffering as children.

Both dramas have main leads that experienced a traumatic event in childhood that led to unforgettable experiences together. (Also both childhood ML is Na De Reum :)). Both dramas have an underlying angst and PTSD -like symptoms among the main characters. Both have a main couple that works through their relationship in a healthy way and support each other. Both dramas have a SML / supportive colleague that creates a trio that takes on the world together ! :) no fantasy element in Radio Romance but the overall mood is similar.
