In each drama, their is a girl with very good qualifications who ends up moving in a socially awakward -yet accomplished- man.
This living arrangement will lead to a marriage of convenience.

Similar in the fact that the drama's are very slice of life-y. The ML's are similar in a nerdy way, but the Run On ML is more of a real life take on that type of character. The FL are not that similar, but they both are strong in a not obnoxious way & are relatable. Also, the humor in both of the shows are genuinely funny & not cringe.

idk why when I started to watch Perfect and Casual, this is remind me of Because This is My First Life, for it's vibes and feelings.
ofc they are have similiarities, like:
+ Contractual Marriage, even tho the reason why they are married totally different
+ the ML is kinda of genius, quirky, and a cutie
+ the FL has their struggles with their (future) jobs, as Perfect and Casual's FL is still in college, but we'll see later

Both follow three millenial couples trying to sort out adulthood. Because This is My First Life, however, is 1000% + better. Actually has points and themes to be made regarding gender expectations, ambitions, and finding purpose in life and the value of life long friends in uncertain times.

Put Your Head on my Shoulder is the youthful, perky, cuter version of Because This is My First Life. Both dramas have similar elements (but different circumstances, mainly because BTIMFL couple are adults).

1. Cohabitation
2. A contract
3. Intellectual male lead who never treated the female lead badly
4. Cute female lead
5. Drinking beer while watching TV
6. Leads were away from each other for a while
7. Third party FL who is not annoying
8. A cat

Both dramas circle around the relationships of a group of friends. However, age of youth focuses more on friendship and Because This Is My First Life focuses on romance.

• Both the leads accidentally had to live together
• They both have to live together for their own convenience
• Because this is my first life is a more slice of life drama while good morning call is a romcom
BTIMFL is better than good morning call tho-
But good morning is definitely enjoyable and fun to watch

They end up falling in love with each other through living and spending time together.

Same Rom-Com aspect to both of them. The plot is somewhat similar in both of them. They both fake a marriage so the male lead can protect his house which he values a lot. The female leads are loosely similar in the way that they think of marriage the opposite way that the male leads do.

Both shows are written by the same people and have a very similar feeling. They seem cute, innocent and lighthearted on the surface but address problems in society at the same time, especially concerning women’s rights. There are very progressive themes in both shows that you don’t find in most dramas. I highly recommend them both! I promise you won’t regret it :))

• Both these dramas have Jung So Min as the female lead
• In both the dramas the situation of the female lead is kinda similar...not exactly both the characters had a hard time in their job ..both of them ended up quitting their job
• Both the dramas are slice of life and focuses on relationship between family and friends

while watching BTIMFL, the main couple kept reminding me of cheese in the trap couple. I think they have a similar couple dynamics.
