HPL focused on art, romance, and family with a bit of corporate politics. AIL focused on art, romance, and corporate politics with a bit of family drama.
I feel the HPL characters were almost lifted from AIL.
Male leads were painters who lived in the US, they both had to stop painting, went back to their home countries, and became gallery directors. They found their way back to painting with help from the female leads.
Female leads were art students and became curators.
Main leads shared a past, although at different times in their lives.
Second male leads were both athletes.
Second female lead (there were 2 SFLs in AIL) met the male leads in the US, and claimed to have known and supported them when they were at their worst.

I think that these stories have relatively the same premise: two art students meet in college and fall in love but then separate for one reason or another. They then meet again in the future. Art in Love is definitely a more light hearted approach to this concept, while Where the Lost Ones Go is a melodrama version.
