- Both are noona romances (older female, younger male)

- The leads have a supportive relationship

- Warm and cozy storylines

- ML is divorced in One Spring Night, FL is divorced in Sunshine By My Side

ML and FL in both dramas worked together in the same company/industry. Both FL just broke up with their partners and are very hard-working experts in their respective fields.

- Both have sexy leads falling in love within workplace settings
- Both have a strong FL
- Both leads have strong chemistry and tastefully shot kissing scenes
- Both have SUN in the title ;)

Both FL are in the elite status of their fields with great track records. Both have EXs whom were also in their field of work.

The main similarities between these two are career women meeting younger men, and the challenges the "opposite age gap" leads to.
Where "Encounter" has a bit more plots to it, Sunshine by my side is more "slice of life", I would say.

There is a lot of slice of life in Sunshine by My Side because it deals with real issues within the workplace while Meet Yourself is one of the greatest Slice of Life drama you can watch.

- Both female leads have to overcome a obstacle to learn to fall in love again
- Bouth main couples work together and learn to enjoy each others company through that
- Both male leads are very calm and supporting characters
- Both drama are slow burn romance
