There is a lot of similarities between these two dramas :
- Smart FL and ML
We see them being smart beings, we don't have to be told. They are great strategists.

- Mighty and competent ML
ML are young competent generals who understand what is their duty and give it their all.

- Beautiful and graceful FL
FL are gorgeous, dressed great and have a very graceful demeanor. Not only that, they are women of their time who act according to the etiquette of their era while being avant-garde.

- Power couple
The actors share great chemistry and complement eaxh other's looks. Their characters understand each other well and are on equal footing.

Both these dramas are romcoms about two ex-schoolmate meeting again.

Female lead is an actress in both dramas while male lead is at a crossroad in his career.

Both these dramas are different because while The Legend of Shen Li is a xanxia, Are You The One is a costume drama.

Yet, they hold some similarities in that we get to see nice scenaries, the FL are capables and smart while the ML can be quite manipulative and secretive.

The biggest similarity for me, is that we get to see the main lead couple living together and leading a mundane life early on in the drama.

Both these dramas are about smart female leads and capable young lords. The stories hold no similarities yet I feel that someone who liked one of these dramas might like the other.

I find similarities in these two dramas because they both take place outside of the palace. Also, the feel is quite gritty and the cinematography is gorgeous.

The romance is a slowburn and ML is quite a mystery.

Both of these dramas focus on firefighters/rescue team. Also the main characters meet after 10 years.

While the male leads are firefighters, the female lead in A Date With The Future is a reporter and the one in My Fireworks On Earth is a doctor.

In both these dramas, Male Lead is disguised as eunuchs to enter the palace.

Male lead suffers from mysophobia and female lead doesn't care getting dirty.
Female lead is fun and quirky while male lead is straight laced and cute.

Both dramas have similar settings :

The location : The action takes place on the ML's vineyard
The story : The heroines are forced to get in a marriage with the ML though the motives are different
The genre : Slap and kiss ; main leads bickering
