Both dramas involve a forced marriage due to some circumstances. The ML already has a girl he's in love with/engaged to.

The two eventually reunite/re-marry.

Both are about the relationship between a pet and owner and a mix of sweet, funny, and tear-jerking. One has fantasy, the other does not, but both are touching and deal with loss, loneliness, etc.
Both have the same actress as the FL and take place within a martial arts sect for much of the plots. The FLs can be cold at times, the MLs are extremely self-sacrificing/martyr type characters. Both MLs give up their lives at the end, but are magically saved and fall into a lengthy coma, cared for by the FL. The FLs leave the room for a moment, return to find the MLs gone, and search for them, finding them awake a short distance away, and run and hug them.
Despite being very different in tone (YAMD has a lot of light-hearted moments in the first half and WWDS is heavy and dark), both dramas have similar elements - a forced/unplanned marriage between the main couple who initially seem mismatched, an unexpected pregnancy that results in a miscarriage, scheming supporting characters who try to drive the couple apart, and a separation and late reunion. Both couples also have wonderful chemistry.
Both are BL dramas with one grumpy and introverted ML and one often smiling, popular, and extroverted ML.
Very different tone (THL is fluffy and light, AOL gets very heavy) but similar feel in that the FLs are both (initially) innocent plant fairies and the MLs are immortals.
