Both dramas offer the same calm and romantic winter vibe.
When I started watching the first love it reminded me of 'when the weather is fine',
especially when playing past story of them.

Both dramas have a set of girls finding love, searching for a meaning in life, and trying to settle down the best way possible. Both have fun and warm girls' talks, and the dialogues between characters are wel! They have a similar slice-of-life kinda style while each drama maintains its own unique vibe. Tokyo Trareba is more chaotic/energetic, while 9-border has a fluffier and softer vibe.

- Law drama
- Older female lead / younger male lead
- solving cases
- Cold female lead
- Noona romance

both dramas talk about bullying in high school, an app to bring people down, and they share an actress

Similar chemistry between leads with the additional workplace vibes.... the outsider in addition also involves family dynamics whereas fake it till you make it is slice of life drama with one of the best chemistry between the leads ever seen in cdrama world....

Similar workplace vibes with an unforgiving, strict superior...... both dramas portray great character development and amazing acting.... both dramas are best suited for mature audiences who prefer more substance than fluff....

Republican era..............................................................................................................

Both MLs get pregnant and give birth (one supernaturally, the other more realistically). Both FLs are strong and hard-working.

While very different plots, both explore gender roles in a semi-futuristic society in which some event (male pregnancy vs. almost no males) has occurred. Both are offbeat dramas with a heartwarming vibe.
