If you liked one of these two, it's an assurance that you'll also appreciate the other. These two dramas have a few similarities, to name a few:
1. Both believe in the beauty of strangers. In both their first episodes, we clearly see how each show highlights healing with the help of strangers
2. Cinematography. Both shows have a similar color scheme and feel.
3. Maturity. Both shows evidently show mature leads that contribute to how beautifully the stories flow.

Both cover similar topics. Some scenes especially involving the in laws are very similar. The big difference is Because This Is My First Life covers concerns for married couple without being concerned about issues that come with having a child. Kim Ji Young also explores situations related to having a child.
Ayaka, who works at the bridal department at a hotel, has a beauty that everyone recognizes, yet her personality is the worst. Everyone calls her a "wicked woman" after the way she wraps numerous men around her finger. The one who sets his eyes on her is the hotel's new executive Togo, who is the son of a very powerful person of the town. What are the orders that this King-like man requests of her!?

- Both main guys are stingy (MMH because he worked hard to get his money and in BTIMFL because he owes money on the mortgage of the house)
- Both main guys have more standoff-ish personalities

Obviously, both have Lee Min Ki in it. Although BTIMFL is more preppy and happy, they both are in the slice of life genre, showing the events in the mundane lives of normal people. They both discuss certain topics that are quite relatable to the public, like insecurities, societal pressures, relationships and their fragility, workplace toxicity, and just the overall hardships of being a broke young adult with nothing to your name.
Both these dramas are about a group of female friends. While The Best Moment To Quit Your Job is about women in their 20's making their first step in the professionnal world and and their subsequent struggle to adjust, Because This Is My First Life is about 30 years-old women we follow as much as in their professional than personnal life.
Also, TBMTOYJ is more of a slice-of-life drama, BTIMFL is a romantic comedy with depth.

This might seem like one that people might not think of. Both stories are about a man who is generally well off, though one more than the other. They each decide it is for the best to enter a contracted relationship. Pushing off unwanted attention from family and from blind dates. They women obviously getting their fair share from the deal. Of course the first rule is NO DATING, but we'll see how long that holds up. The women take the opportunity to re-evaluate their lives, where they are, what they want, and what kind of person they are really looking for. The stories end nice and clean and cute, and are both fairly simple, dealing mostly with regular relationship problems.
