Both are romances with a big age gap between a male and a female. In both the male is older one.
Both have as a main hero a loner, who lives a lonely life even though he doesn't have any money issues. A person who only wears dark colours and lives for his work (which he regards as the mission of his life) and has established part of his past life in a foreign country (which is in one of the dramas Neitherlands and in the other Canada). In both he shares a house with another male, whom the female lead almost befriends... Both have many flashbacks about his past.
In both the female lead is somebody, continuing her study, who he encounter by chance. The female is the person who finds him first due to a misunderstanding.

The bright female lead chases after the cold male lead who uncovers his soft spot for her—a trope as old as time but so well done in both dramas that it remains refreshing and tugs at your heartstrings. Both dramas are filled with sweetness that brings out the giddy romantic in you and makes you melt. The cast features an ensemble of characters you love through and through. You'll also see a familiar face in Hu Yi Tian (whether you're a fan or not) playing the stoic boy with some killer one-liners. Top of my recommendations list for anyone looking for something fun and sweet!
in both dramas:
*gaming/virtual reality theme
*ML is good gamer, long time in this and now owner/boss of company/team in this field
*ML is self confident, cold, arrogant and focused on business/goal
*ML had close friend/partner with whom he was starting in gaming field, but now he is rival
*FL falls in love first, chases ML but he isn't interested long time, isn't focused on romance at all
*ML is older and more experienced then FL, and they are very different people (nothing in common, at list for first look)
I think Memories of the Alhambra is better drama, more complex, interesting, dramatic and overall on another level though both dramas are really good and catchy
