Both very healing, slow burns. imo FBF walked so TBT could run. There are still some cliche's and some bumpiness in the storyline for FBF. But these are both very refreshing, focusing on a slower life (ML lives a slower life) while FL works in a customer-first intense job (FL adjusts to living a slower life). The backgrounds of the characters are very different though, leads are dealing ways to navigate and heal from their trauma. imo, also, both relationships really don't make sense at first, both sides do not want to burden the other side, but they show their love in unique ways. The production/storyline quality is a bit better for TBT, but I think the ML was a little too perfect, whereas FBF really showed ML and FL's strengths and weaknesses.

If the novel storyline is followed faithfully, then this will be a reverse harem situation similar to Lost You Forever. Obviously the genres are different, but both are female-centric stories focused on the female lead overcoming adversity and navigating at least 3 men in their lives.

Both series revolve around family, with children playing a central role in the story. They explore psychological questions, as well as how to become a family even without blood ties. Love, however, doesn't feature prominently in the narrative.

Both Japanese boys' love dramas with eccentric, shonen manga-esque leads who have crushes on their teachers. Having similar story premises and comedic tones, you may enjoy one if enjoyed the other.
