Both these dramas tell the story of the relationship between the ML and the FL in online and real life. It is the ML who discovers their online friendships first after making issues for the FL offline and then try to make up for it.

Similarities:
* Both MLs are "smart" and end up rejecting FLs school paper that prohibits her from graduating.
* I think both MLs end up falling harder in the end
* No ugly or messy love triangles.

Differences:
* In "Fall in Love With a Scientist" the ML has had a crush on the FL for a long time, so he falls first and takes the initiative in the relationship. In "Perfect and Casual" the FL falls first and later the ML realizes he likes her.
* Perfect and Casual has a contract relationship, and they live together. FILWAS does not have that trope.

They are similar at:
-The ML is in an online friendship with the FL. ML knows her identity but FL doesn't know that the guy she is talking to is the same that she knows in real life.

a similar story with some elements of college & life , in a one word a nerd pursing female lead with some side kick 's to make drama more crispy, not great but overall good

the main couple has the same feeling between them. with the male lead being cold decicive and focused and the female lead being warm kind and caring towards him changing him for the better

Same cute adorable socially clueless character as ML as well as actor in the role. Both have an illness that adds angsty dimensions. Both dramas have the FL and ML working together. FL is even a cleaner in both dramas at some point in time. Most importantly both dramas have a similar look and feel. Colour palettes and light romance sprinkled with bit is external trials.

I wouldn’t say it’s the same plot or characters or somethin’ like that just that both main leads begin with online dating… it’s cute one is dating through game while the other one is just the casual online dating… love it ???
