Both dramas are about adult life. The male leads in both dramas are calm, hardworking, and only work part-time. That's how both of the female leads meet the male leads. Instead of the male lead's family going bankrupt, in this drama it's the female lead's family. Because of a problem, the female leads in both dramas almost have their dreams taken away. The female leads in both dramas are adorable and hilarious.
