Would living/working in Tokyo REALLY be that different from Seoul?

Whenever I've went to Japan.. I admit I quite like it. But, would it really be all that different from Korea?

Cities are similar in feel... TV is similar in feel.. expat bar/scenes seems really similar.

What would people say would be similar and/or different if living/working in say Tokyo versus Seoul?

Japan rocks. Korea doesn't. But Japan will burn a huge motherf******g hole in your pocket. Korea usually doesn't. Japanese people are very polite and kind. Koreans are aggressive and in your face. Japan is cleaner and more organised, plus you get a 3-year visa which enables you to chop and change jobs whenever you like. Tokyo is cooler than Seoul.
