The main story is not similar at all, but there's family problems and people trying to find motivation and reasons to keep living.
Main character (Pond in AS and Mr. Gu in MLN) have a mystery past and at first we didn't understand why he is like he is but the things are being revelated in the episodes.
Everything is very slow paced and there's a subtle tension like if all could fall apart anytime because of the angst of mains characters.
And there's a kinda of yellow filter in both that sets up the melodrama mood.
