Biggest similarity:
If what you loved about The Early Spring was watching Shang Zhitao grow from someone who is professionally inexperienced into a capable, independent woman, Master of My Own is particularly appealing.

Both have a male protagonist who is a bit of an asshole and his female subordinate who tries hard to tolerate him even thought his impossible character.

Both involve a possible romance between them.

Both have two handsome males of similar age which fight one towards another and one woman whom is in between them.
"The good guy" is not really that good.. whether he is more of a vigilante.. or a person with a nasty charachter.. and the actual good guy turns out to be bad..only so that he turns out a new leaf at the last moment.
Both have manager and company schemes.. and a gang of staff..

The female lead is a strong woman with her own believes and is hardworking. Her romance with the second male lead is more of a forced one and she puts an end of it, but he still has a great admiration of her at the end.

There is a possible romance between both leads..never on screen.
