Both involving death & supernatural,
with message about how little time we have and that we should spend our time meaningfully and not take life for granted.

49 Days is one big 20 episode story arc with 1 main lead about to maybe die,
while Loss.Time.Life is more easily and quicker to watch stand-alone episodes/anthology series with 1 new person dying each episode, providing beautiful story even if you just watch 1 episode. (Episodes can be watched in whathever order since each episode is 1 separate story with different characters in each episode.)

Both main female leads believe that the people around them love and adore them. It takes a supernatural event to uncover the truth behind the fake smiles of their peers.

It doesn't really have much in common with each other, but I though that the ending are quite similar, by the fact that their both emotional.

Both have a similar plot element of Reapers who have no memory of their life before death and the consequences ensuing when said memories return.

It has the same feel to it. 49 Days reminds us that we only have a short time on earth, so we need not to take advantage of it. Come Back, Ahjussi reminds us the same.

Il Mare has issues of time discrepancy too. The romance was nice as well.

Both Dramas teach great lessons about life:
Through 49 Days I learned about fate, about trust and about betrayal. Incarnation of Money made me think about how powerful money is: It can kill a person, make another sad and make someone else pretty.

Both FLs have their days numbered and both MLs have this type of 'scheduler/ neither human nor god' role. Both stories tackle the meaning of life and how to make the best use of your numbered days.
