yes, these two dramas are different, but there are some common themes
- leads in investment banking (MOMO both leads are in)
- FL has significant growth in their career
- FL is a great worker (committed to work, at one point, overcommitted) bending over backwards for work, but learning work-life balance
- Presence of a strong female mentor character for FL
- Slow burn romance
- FL has another pursuer for she had a one-sided love previously (but FL now likes ML)
- overarching theme of chasing your career goals

MAJOR DIFFERENCE:
-FITYMI has the moral theme of "city life making people fake, but at the end, people are most comfortable when they don't have a mask on anymore"; MOMO has the moral theme of "standing up for yourself, especially as females"
- MOMO showcases an alarming amount of verbal abuse from ML to FL (as her superior)
- FITYMI romance is more flirty but mature

Both dramas about work life in the CBD (the struggles, the masks). Showcases how different personalities attempt to make it in city life. Relatively slow/realistically paced, quality cinematography, occasional narrative voice overs from leads.
Differences:
MSH: leads are lower economic standing; theme of strong bond of bromance; ML falls in love at first sight with FL
FITYMI leads have desk jobs (higher economic standing) and ML and FL become friends and then slowly fall in love with each other

similarities:
- ML and FL are online friends (even though Double Love is through a game while Moonlight is through a forum/chat)
- ML knows FL identity before FL knows ML identity
- FL admires ML's bestfriend
- FL is just starting off (and excelling) in the industry while ML is famous in the same industry
- FL respects the ML's identity in the industry
- ML does not have a positive relationship with parents

differences:
- different industry (movie/acting industry vs publishing industry)
-FL personalities are pretty different (Double Love FL is fire-y , Moonlight FL is bubbly). Both are stubborn and full of passion, but it's different.
- Double Love has a really nice brother-sister dynamic
- Moonlight ML's best friend has deep-love/complicated-history second CP storyline
- Moonlight has business sabotage as major part of storyline

- FL and ML are in same e-sports team (although OWaB FL is not a gamer). They are CP'd by netizens
- ML personalities are super similar: strict/serious usually, but warm towards those he is close too. Is very flirty/cute w/FL only and gets jealous easily.
- topics both dramas touch upon (other than the obvious reach for your dreams and teamwork): hand injuries from gaming, live-streaming and pressure from netizens, parents not understanding passions for gaming, pro gamers not always getting a lot of money

and honestly, other than those above (and the obvious theme of gaming), not much is the same.
BUT I like the CP from OWaB waaaay more than FITYS....OWaB FL is more emotional/full of expression than FITYS FL who always has a poker face

Similar background but I didn't draw the similarities at first
- FL is born with a silver spoon (*but* FL in TLS is currently running the company well)
- ML has a first responder background (good physical ability) and is wise and is appointed by the FL's father/grandfather to take care of FL
- People try to sabotage FL's control of the company
- FL experiences growth in management ability/responsibility
- family secrets/international excursions (there's more in TLS)
- of course, the classic exaggeration of romcoms but it's a fun ride
Of course there are differences...major one might be that SMH is lighter than TLS

Both dramas released around the similar time, so the similarities seemed clear to me.
- FL is strong-willed (and has an opinionated mother) and financially better off
- ML is humble and poorer (but ML is more of a simp in MSH, and ML is a bit "smarter" in DH)
- Both dramas have a really good range of side characters (good acting and realistic character construction imo...I literally know some of these characters irl)
- ML and FL have more of a slow burn romance
- Somehow, both dramas have just the right amount of silliness/irony/subtle humor to make it not feel draggy...far from melodramatic (although it still has that sentimental realism)
- Portrayal of being not rich (ML and his friends) and struggle of the working class (a bit more in MSH)
- Covers side stories well, but side stories don't feel unnecessary.

Yes, the storyline isn't similar BUT the vibes are:
- All/most the main characters are really "deep" in thought, not shallow: a lot of forgiveness and consideration for others
- Villain/antagonist is very gray...not black and white and the main issue was handled with utmost maturity
- ML has a painful past/both parents passed BUT it doesn't seem superficial (his past isn't his personality, it's just a part of him)
- FL is mature and understanding but upbeat

Other face-value similarities:
- ML likes FL first
- SML is the same actor (but his character is waaaay more light/superficial in GIYH)
- Similar length and pacing (although RMLTD has a bit more drama...bc its business)
- The chemistry of main CPs are soooo good

The storyline is different, there are more "fantasy" elements in Love O'Clock. BUT its similar vibes:
- they are both super fluffy
- FL is bubbly and more flexible/"lazy" and creative (and talented), while ML is very particular and talented
- there is co-habitation in LO and they are neighbors in SS
- they develop feelings quite fast but they become official quite slow
- something else brings them together (LO is a clock, SS is ice cream); the FL has something the ML wants
