These two go together naturally. I feel like you can't mention one without the other as they are similar in a lot of ways. Same screenwriter, same director, similar themes and tones regarding the troubles for our characters and certain obstacles they have to overcome. However there are some differences between the dramas. Obviously this is on opinion but the quality of one is more consistent from start to finish than the other. Characters regress in Something In The Rain towards the end whereas in One Spring Night, they improve and grow maturely. In some ways, One Spring Night is a better version of SITR with the backroom staff learning from errors that plauge the drama.
The main leads are different as well as a couple. Yoon Jin Ah and Seo Joon Hee (Something In The Rain) have an extensive history of friendship via a third party (an older sister/friend), so there was already a hidden connection when the meet again in the drama. Whereas Lee Jung In and Yoo Ji Ho was more instant attraction with the connection following afterwoods. Jung In and Ji Ho have a much more subtle love for each other. It's a lot more complicated as Jung In is in a relationship. And while she is no longer invested in it and wants to end it, she hasn't done the deed yet. While Jin Ah has broken up with her ex and it's her parents that are forcing the issue.
The main difference is young Eun-woo. The characters inclusion in One Spring Night is definitely what seperates the two dramas as SITR has a steamy relationship only hurt by petulant characters while One Spring Night is more nuanced and mature with more thoughtful problems and ways of dealing with the.
Both are worth watching.

Both are worth watching.
- Both leave a heavy impact on you both throughout the series with their hard subject matters and incredible acting. While Smile Has Left Your Eyes has characters that deteriorate mentally, Just Between Lovers has more healing from such a bleak mentality.
- The Male Leads have a very similar outlook on life. Both are fairly nihilistic due to their experiences and troubles. With the female leads trying to help their counterparts with warming love and friendship.
- Both deal with subject matters that are more dark than your usual K-Drama. SHLE has cults, stabbings, harsh deaths. JBL is a little more political but there is drug use and sexual underworld plots.
