Both have a strong mafia/gangsta element that keep the story going. The romance between the main character is chef's kiss in both series and if you love mafia groups "political" intrigues you will love both series

In both dramas the main characters do a job related to people that have recently passed away that consits of resolving mysterious deaths using technology as a way to bring closure to the case. Both use a computer program/software and work for an organization/company as the main theme of the show. The moral question arises as to whether it is right or not to look into people's personal information and secrets. They share two male protagonists plus a female support character. The two of them share the tsundere/cold vs innocent/kind trope dynamic and a close platonic relationship is formed between them.

Definitely if you liked Shopping King Louis / Shopaholic Louis you will like Attic Cat. And the other way around.
They are not the same in everything but they share a lot.
A rich man (without a house to live, for reasons) meets by chance a poor but clever and hardworking girl. They start living together on a rooftop. They need to be frugal but the MLs in both shows are kind of shopaholics and capricious. Sometimes they act like spoiled children and sometimes like lovely puppies
FL and ML soon become friends, and they are so close that they can't be far from each other even a day. They need to be together like the air to breath. In both dramas the FLs start working for a firm and they get close with their bosses, making the MLs jealous.

In Shopping King Louis there is a love triangle, while Attic Cat is more a love square.
