And seeing a sunset and waking up in the morning to catch a sunrise, I noticed how different they look, but a sunrise is just a reverse sunset so shouldn’t it be the same?

For starters, your east and west might be quite different from each other. My sunrise is over land and my sunset is over de ocean. Temperatures are generally not symmetrical for sunset/sunrise, therefore atmospheric conditions will also not be symmetrical. That would be the main factor in how you perceive the sun close to the horizon.
