These are both intense dramas that feature revenge - as with Secret/Secret Love, the male lead's entire motivation is shaped by a former/first love, and the on/off relationship with the female lead. The actors in both dramas have AMAZING chemistry together, but their parings have some wild moments that make you question their sanity or common sense. If you like dramas with over-the-top and toxic OTPs, this may be right up your alley. Both have some very triggering content (violence, abuse, assault, etc.), so I wouldn't recommend either drama for younger viewers or for those who may be affected by the things listed above.
=> Both are Song Joong Ki dramas, both are about revenge. The people SJK is doing a revenge against are very rich/high on the social ladder (at least during the time SJK character is doing the revenge). SJK did fantastic acting in The Innocent Man, here's hoping Reborn Rich has enough where SJK can show his acting ability.
Innocent Man is the only drama I can think of that has shady male lead and tons of angst and skin ship and Hua Jai Sila is not over yet but Innocent Man is way darker and sadder. Proper tragedy. But honestly love Hua Jai Sila it's so good skin ship wise and it's not misogynistic at all, no boys will be boys or any of that. Just a really aggressive male seriously the part where he's beating the crap out of his step brother was so intense! I was in tears! And plenty of angst and emotional scenes.
Both really good, high quality/production level dramas, with interesting characters and relationships, character developments (not only ML but also female leads).
Not quite similar plot but has many similarities:
*kind hearted, nice, "always smiling" ML whose life and personality changes because of actions female (in MFS it's FL who loves him but he doesn't, in TIM it's SFL who is ML's gf and he loves her very much)
*after those events, ML's changing and few years, he is very mad at this female and wants revenge.
*ML's revenge involves/is against FL
*FL loves ML much earlier when he first loved SFL and approximately half of the drama doesn't love FL

In both dramas, the main character is a kind and caring doctor who's deeply in love with his girlfriend. Through a series of tragic events, he is betrayed and loses his identity as an upstanding and respectable man. The story follows his revenge with a family divided by power struggles over the ownership of a company. Both dramas are classic melodramas with tropes like love squares, amnesia and illness.
