Both are similar in the sense of: Bestfriends falling in Love
I feel that L&L is the fast version of ITWY because both have a male best friend falling in love with the female bestfriend, female bestfriend falls in love with another guy, but female bestfriend finally realizes at the end that its the male bestfriend that her heart really belongs to, even if she is on the verge of marrying her boyfriend.
They are different in the sense that , L&L has a government mandated partner that is matched with you, so female bestfriend had that, and she fell in love with the guy for real, even if its just an arranged marriage. In ITWY, the other guy is an ex boyfriend, who returned to be the current boyfriend, that the female lead falls in love with enough to decide to marry or atleast, get engaged with.
But on both stories, both female leads decide to go with the male bestfriend.

In Time With You and Apple in Your Eye are similar Taiwanese dramas in the sense that they're both stories of two people who have grown up loving each other in a non-romantic form however end up loving each other romantically in the end.
While Apple In Your Eye is about a man and woman who grow up as siblings while the man secretly harbors feelings of romantic love for the woman, In Time With You is about two best friends who have known each other forever and have always dated separately but the man has secretly always been in love with the woman.
Although I can easily pick favorites out of these two, they were both VERY emotional (in terms of feeling for the guy who has loved the girl forever and has to hold his feelings back) and beautiful dramas that showed aspects of friendship, family and love. Both dramas feature emotional male leads for have to face the horror of loving a woman who only thinks of them as family.
Although both dramas are pretty darn good and worth your time, my personal choice of the two would be In Time With You. It was FANTASTIC. Loved absolutely everything about it.

They have both the "Bestfriends turned lovers" theme... Like, you are already secretly in love with your bestfriend, but you guys are still denying it, keeping it, or don't wanna ruin the friendship...then another guy comes along to emphasize more how the male bestfriend will get jealous and actually admit to himself that he is really inlove with his bestfriend...But will not do anything about it...till fate just makes them end up together...sweet...
Both dramas have a male lead that is almost perfect and too good to be true and paired with a prickly self centered career oriented female lead.
If you like the good guy who wear their hearts on their sleeves instead of the usual bad guy lead, then both these dramas is for you. Just be prepared to get you heart broken as your heart hurts for the male leads as their love and sacrifices for the female lead gets overlooked time and time again.
