has the same vibes, the story overall is pretty much giving us the same vibes. the story revolving about one old married couple that is bored with their current relationship.
In both dramas, the protagonist is a man who loses his way in life and messes up his marriage/relationship. One day, he gets a chance for a do-over via supernatural means and is transported to an alternate timeline (by changing the past in Familiar Wife and by having a near-death experience in Welcome 2 Life) where he becomes aware of his past mistakes and the fact he's still in love with his wife/ex. Both protagonists experience remorse and personal growth and ultimately win back their first loves.
Familiar Wife has a melodramatic (and in my opinion excellent) office romance at its core and boasts a rich cast of well-developed secondary characters, whereas Welcome 2 Life is a more action-packed story about crime, corruption and the law.
