Both "A Business Proposal" and "King the Land" are Korean dramas that share some similarities, but also have distinct differences. Here's a breakdown:

Similarities:

Romance between opposite personalities: Both dramas feature a romance between two individuals with contrasting personalities. In "A Business Proposal," a bubbly researcher pretends to be her friend on a blind date with the CEO, leading to a fake relationship that turns real. Similarly, "King the Land" showcases a love story between an aloof hotel heir and a passionate employee.
Workplace setting: Both dramas are set in a professional environment, with "A Business Proposal" taking place in a food company and "King the Land" revolving around a luxurious hotel. This setting allows for workplace dynamics, career challenges, and character growth within the professional sphere.
Comedy and lightheartedness: Both dramas blend elements of humor and lightheartedness with the romantic narrative. Viewers can expect comical situations, witty dialogue, and moments of playful banter between the characters.
Differences:

Power dynamics: The power dynamics in the relationships differ significantly. In "A Business Proposal," the male lead holds a clear power advantage as the CEO, while the female lead initially deceives him. In contrast, "King the Land" features a more even power dynamic, with both leads working within the same hotel structure.
Genre focus: "A Business Proposal" leans more towards the romantic comedy genre, while "King the Land" incorporates additional elements of business management and competition within the luxury hotel industry.
Overall tone: "A Business Proposal" maintains a consistently light and comedic tone, while "King the Land" has moments of seriousness and dramatic tension interspersed with its humor.

both are romcom dramas
both are based on office or workplace romance
both have the famous "employee and boss romance" trope
both the male and female leads also share the same personality
it has " he fell first but she fell harder " trope
kinda enemies to lovers trope because they didn't like each other earlier

Both are:
- romantic comedy dramas that are equally a bit of cliche
- MLs are "tsunderes" in expressing their interest to the FL and revered as "king" because of their in high position in the company and sons of the owner
- FLs are both passionate with their work and can be very bright when working
_ the main couple interact very often because they are working in the same company

Heir Goo Won cannot stand fake smiles. When he meets Cheon Sa Rang, her sincere smile is at the ready. The pair seek to create happy moments where they can smile brightly at each other.

King of the Land is a VVIP business lounge, a paradise catering to wealthy hoteliers. It is owned by The King Group, with hotels, distribution companies, and an airline in its portfolio. Now Goo Won has been thrown into an inheritance tug-of-war. With his brilliant mind, innate grace, and captivating charm, he has everything but lacks common sense when dating.

Both are new. Storyline is light, I would say mediocre. Same pace, character's development.
Not for bindge watching, I prefer to watch such type after deep dramas.

Similarities :
Hotel setting
Rom-Com
Good Looking Cast
My secret hotel has an ex-husband, and King the Land will mostly have an ex-boyfriend (But no love triangle in King the Land as in My secret hotel)

PS: I have watched only 1 ep of my secret hotel and only 2 of King the Land have been released so this recommendation is based on very limited knowledge

same poor girl rich guy trope
the fls also look really similar
somewhat involvement with their ex's
