Both show the journey of a startup founder (and a female CEO) and go into the business aspects in quote some detail.

The ML of As Beautiful As You and the 2ML of Start-up are similar in that they are successful, cut-throat businessmen but also lonely and craving love.

Both have a very strong 2ML who makes the show, and their backstories are shown more than that of the MLs’.

Both stories of business success and of starting from scratch.

Both have an FL confused and ambiguous, and the 2ML being much more caring/protective than the ML.

Watch both for the second leads!

Both series focus on the lives of a group people very much passionate about engineering and maths. Start-up has programming as a central theme, here we have Maths and Calculus. Both have MLs who are geeks to begin with. The OSTs give a similar vibe as well!

Both have feel-good vibes, a slow burn storyline and a wonderful ensemble cast. Both make you feel like your stress is being washed away with each episode..

Both have a similar theme of life, death and philosophies of living. Both have life lessons and a lot of wisdom to impart. A happy ending in different ways, but they both evoke such feelings of sadness, longing and hope all at the same time.
