FL are both reporters who interview sportsmen MLs.
Both met when they were younger.
I can't wait to see how Hello, The Sharpshooter as I really loved My Mr. Mermaid

Both have the same comfy vibe with not too dramatic plottwist. The same kind of cringiness and the same kind of pacing but above all, the same kind of friendships. The female lead isn't as sassy like Tang Xue, but she does have some brain and harsh tongue. Yun Duo is more gentle and feminine than Tang Xue, but they have the same kind of sass. Yi Bai is also far more soft heartened than Li Yu Bing, but they are both crazy for only one girl and are willing to do anything for them. They both work hard for their sports career and they both have all their teammates as real brothers. If you like Skate Into Love, you will likely also love My Mr.Mermaid :)
Both are Chinese sports dramas with a similar vibe. My Mr. Mermaid is about a disgraced athlete due to a former scandal while Lighting is about the son of a disgraced athlete. Both male leads are fighting to be #1 and win back their honor. My Mr. Mermaid has a lot more fluff and cute scenes between ML and FL.
The theme of friendship and rivalry is similar. The ping pong life seems much better in terms of story but romance is a side theme. While in my mr mermaid, romance is more.
Ping pong life focuses on the challenges faced by the players as well as how they overcome it. However my mr mermaid'sstory revolves around the romance and second is the friendship.

In both dramas there is an adorable leading lady and an equally adorable mother of the leading man. The mother goes to great lengths to match make for this couple..
Differences:
Itazura na Kiss' leading man is the typical cliche smart and handsome Jerk. He does NOT want to admit that he likes the girl, even to himself. The leading lady is adorable and sweet. She is not very talented but determined to better herself.
My Mr. Mermaid's leading man is dedicated to his sport but kind and sweet. He seems quite smitten with the leading lady, right away. The leading lady is dedicated to becoming a good reporter, but equally dedicated to being an honest upright person and good friend.
Itazura na Kiss is based on a manga and there were versions made in Taiwan, Korea, Japan, Thailand, and China... I loved them all. However, if you do not like going through all of those episodes, that make it seem like the girl is chasing a guy who is just not that into her, try Kiss Me(the Thai version) first. In that version, it is apparent, very early on that he has a soft spot for her, compared to the rest.

Almost evrything about both the ML AND FL were similar

At first glance these two dramas aren't exactly similar but having watched both, there is a similar tone and vibe these shows give off. Though Sweet Combat is about boxing and martial arts and My Mr Mermaid is about swimming, both of these dramas are set during the college years with super cute main couples and a great group of friends though the friend group in My Mr Mermaid feels a bit closer. Sweet Combat also does have a bit more drama cliches (rich female lead with a disapproving grandfather) but overall if you like one, you'll probably like the other.
