One is a movie and one is a drama with multiple episodes, but both did a wonderful job of representing asexual (ace) and aromantic (aro) characters.
There are similarities between these 2, not just because the main character (or in the case of Koisenu Futari, the 2 main characters) is aroace, but also in some plotlines of the story.
The main difference between these 2 is the way they are about asexuality and aromanticism.
Koisenu Futari is a story about finding your identity and learning what that means for you and the way you choose to live your life in, perhaps, a very non-traditional way.
I Am What I Am however, is a story that focuses more on how society focuses so heavily on romance and shows how people can have different responses when they learn that the main character is aroace. Here, the main character is already very confident in her identity, it is just other people who struggle to understand and accept it.

Disaster movies. Mysterious element. Moral ambiguity.
Plot is nearly identical, both main characters are stuck in a time loop trying to save their loved ones. The ending of both of them are also quite similar.
Korean disaster movies. Survival, mayhem, and ambiguous morals. Largely takes place in a building.
