Both dramas are humour driven with an underlining tinge of seriousness. Other similarities are the MLs fight to maintain power as King and how both FLs end up impersonating the Queen of Joseon. In MQ she wakes up in the body of the queen and tries to live as her while figuring out what is going on, while in TFM, she pretends to be a shaman that is possessed by the late crown princesses.
Similar setup. ML is royalty and bodyguard is best friend. Bodyguard has marriage with officers daughter that gets botched. She assumes a different identify. She helps the prince while in that identity. Potential die love triangle, shaman elements highlighted. Also - Female lead has Supporters who are interesting characters living outside palace. So far though - Our Blooming Youth seems to have less comedic elements.
Both are essentially about court ladies who try their hardest to protect the king and support his reign.
Both deal with love and grief set in the past. Although, AOS has magic both show deal with spirits. Both have serious notes as well moments of sadness. The shows also has have an action component as well. I am currently watching them both and they have a similar vibe.
Both dramas have a similar style of comedy despite being in two different settings. The Forbidden Marriage is set in Joseon while A Business Proposal takes place in modern day.
Both the female leads start by deceiving the male lead into thinking that they are someone else, but end up falling in love with them.
Overall both dramas have a very sweet (and slightly spicy) romance

** This is written before I finish watching TFM
Similarities:
- Both are set in historical time but completely fictional (modern day behaviour)
- Have strong comedy borderline parody
- Somehow heavy on political conspiracy
- FL is kind of reckless sometimes rude in both dramas
- ML is nice and understanding
- Love triangle doesn’t work in both
Differences:
- Revers character hierarchy
- TFM is giving strong SML syndrome
- TFM have better romantic chemistry and swoon moments.

Both dramas are historical and have a quirky tone. The MLs are of higher social status/wealth than the FLs, and the FLs earn their living in a way that requires they evade the law. Both FLs tell a lie to save themselves that connects them to the ML in some way (pregnancy vs. claiming to be possessed by his dead wife) and then end up telling more and more lies as time goes by.
Both historical with modern vibes and good comedy moments.

During the Joseon Dynasty, a young woman named Hong Chun Ki is a painter – a true rarity in Joseon Korea, where Confucian values dictate that such pursuits are unsuitable for a woman. She was born blind but somehow managed to acquire a sense of vision. And now she has been accepted to the most prestigious art college in the land.
One day, she meets Ha Ram, an astrologer whose fate is the polar opposite of her own: Although he was born sighted, he lost his vision in a childhood accident. Regardless, he is also in possession of an astounding talent that allows him to read the future by tracing the movement of the sky at night despite the fact that he is blind.
The duo is sucked into the machinations of the royal court, particularly those involving two princes, the free-spirited Prince Yang Myung and the cruel, scheming Prince Joo Hyang – a man who longs to become the next Joseon king.
