Cheong Song Yi from YWCFTS is very similar to the female lead in MND and this is noticeable from the get go. It's almost like one inspired the other. However, there is no Do Min Joon personality in the male lead. He'd like to think that he is a Do Min Joon because his character is motivated by an intrinsic desire to be alone like Do Min Joon but for very different reasons.
However, they are alike in that they both have overtly outgoing females come into the lives of solitude seeking males and just throw their world apart and make them realize what they were missing.

Synopsis: young illustrater xiang who had just stepped out of the ivory tower and longed for a happy married life, unexpectedly met lin heng yu an dentist who had always advocated for cellibacy
Some may disagree since the situational set-up is not the same (ie in Marriage, Not Dating they are not in a boss/employee relationship but a contract marriage relationship) but I see very strong similarities between the FL and ML interactions.. The ladies are both straight up FEISTY: physically feisty and argumentatively feisty and determined-to-be-themselves-when-they-don't-necessarily-feel-accepted-by-society feisty. In both dramas, the MLs are equally assertive and give back as good as they receive and you can tell they subconsciously like the challenge the FL puts up as they find themselves falling for the girl against their wishes. The banter is right up your Beatrice&Benedict alley (my favorite type of romance to watch).
