I would say that both are very interesting and engaging stories about a girl making it in show business. Both are shoujos and have obvious love stories but somehow both really develop solid relationships and ideas that make these two mangas very enjoyable and even a bit intellectual.

Both heroines are passionate about acting and start their careers in cinema/theater.
Heroines from both stories find out their true passions from incidental events, and realize that they're incredibly talented. Skip Beat drags on and is about Kyoko becoming an actress whereas Ashita no Ousama centers around Yuu's love of screenwriting and directing. If you prefer josei, read Ashita no Ousama and if you enjoy shoujo more, begin with Skip Beat.
