similar themes of a talented girl in an academy (art academy in LOTRS and a swordsman academy in GFB)
similar fantastical elements of boy sharinf a body with a non human being
both have elements of a romantic comedy
GFB can have dark, more serious themes than LOTRS
Both invoke similar emotions, and have similar settings in the drama
GFB has Lee Seunggi as an immortal, so far Ahn HyoSeop is very much mortal in the drama
Both have strong female leads working in male dominant fields
good friendships in both dramas
both are slowburns in terms of romances, with childhood connections. the romance has a similar vibe. really really enjoyable.
emotionally well thought out and well written characters
comedy is so sweet and wholesome!

overall, they have a pretty similar vibe!

If you enjoyed the lore of the gumiho you might enjoy Gu Family Book. Both shows take aspects of gumiho lore. They are both based in historical era's. They both also have the aspect of secret keeping.

Recommended by Merp
they are both amazing dramas. Gu Family Book and Arang and the Magistrate are both historical and romantic dramas with fantasy
Recommended by WooU
The fight for good and evil are similar in both. Both main characters seek to correct the blood within them that gives them special power. Both have a cross-dressing lead, who present both a weakness and strength to the male lead.

Both combine joseon with supernatural elements, so sometimes they have the same feel. Both are romantic comedies with tragedy involved.
Recommended by Nyai
In both dramas, the main characters go through many difficulties and hardships but stay strong. Both dramas draw out similar feelings from the audience

Both involve the tale of the Gumiho's child however Gumiho: Tale of the Fox's Child focuses more on the childhood in comparison to Gu Family Book

Both feature male nine-tailed foxes who ended up falling in love with humans and wanting to become humans. Both also featured nine-tailed foxes that became evil spirits due to an unfortunate circumstances in the past.

Both stories are different, but the gisaeng house part in Gu Family Book is really similar to Ayaka's fight so for those who like it, you could give it a try!
Recommended by Clemi-chan
Both dramas are historical and the female leads are disguised as a 'flower boy', even though in Gu Family Book is unitentional.
Recommended by Dia
Although sword of legends is in Chinese, both dramas have the same historical/fantasy setting and the two leads and stories are similar in many ways.
