• Both are slice of life dramas
• Both have FLs who are writers.
•Both focus a lot on family and friendships
•Both have similar colourful vibe and a sweet ost
•Both dive into the minds of the FL (in Yumi’s cell it’s literal but in BTIMFL it’s a metaphorical dive in her mind)

Because This is My First Life is a very realistic approach to contract marriages. But BTIMFL focuses more on the romance while Yumi’s Cells focuses on life more. Both are realistic and feel good dramas. Must Try!

Both shows have very similar atmospheres. Creepy and mysterious with a touch of humor. Both also share the theme of creepy neighbours (the neighbours in the apartment in rose mansion and the fellow patients and staff at the hospital in ANC)

Cooking and staring into each others' eyes. Very cute, short episodes, lots of chemistry and nice music!
