In both dramas, the leads are connected trough their past but do not know at first. While in It's Okay to Not Be Okay one of the main leads is calm and the other one quite hot-headed, the dynamic of the couple in Thirty but Seventeen is more of a calm ML/ naive FL one. But in no way is it annoying or cliché, do not misunderstand. What they have in common though is that both couples support each other with their internal struggles of trauma. I think both MCs have great chemistry and the storylines are far from cliché or boring. They explore more unique situations and there is never any annoying doubt or misunderstanding between the leads. (At least as far as I remember; it has been a while since I've watched Thirty But Seventeen.) But I think if your taste is similar to mine, you will enjoy both dramas to a similar degree!
The main characters of both dramas have to deal with their own emotional trauma due to a common and painful past. They grow individually and fall in love in the process. In both dramas, the cinematography is beautiful, the storyline is slow-paced but every scene is meaningful and the OST is magical. The main characters in both dramas learn to overcome their pain and build a strong relationship with themselves and others after a traumatic event. IONTBO talks about many types of mental disorders and mental illness in general whereas Just Between Lovers is more specifically about PTSD (Post-traumatic stress disorder) which is one type of mental disorder.
I don't know why but after watching "Iska" last night, this reminded me of "It's Okay to Not Be Okay" because of dealing with special person in your life.
You need to have extra patients in your body just to understand them. I can't relate with the characters because I have short tempered for these kind of people but hey, they are still people, but I'd rather stay away from them before losing my mind to be surrounded by them.
Kudos to Moon Gang Tae and Iska. I wish, I have their patients. I need them,

A relative of one of the protagonists is the suspected mastermind of a killing of the other protagonist's relative. Both are beloved relatives of the protagonists and their killings and/or disappearances caused a lot of mental trauma.
A couple has to reveal a killer and deal with the concequesnces of that reveal.. as it might.. prevent it from being together.

Both heroes have an accident that appeared while they were growing up that shaped them for whom they are. Both lost a family member and have another one not in their right mind.
In both they are in love with the heroine, but have to face the decision of loving the child of the person, responsible for his parent's death.
