If you liked the anti-hero ML, you might watch TLLoQL but in the point of view of the “others” who view the anti-hero as a villain.
The “villain” in TLLoQL is like the older version of the ML in DL.

Both have themes that revolve around woman in a care center focused on treatment of pregnancy issues.
Aside from both being fantasy/romance/mystery, both gave me similar vibes, but they do have some differences.
Similarities:
- Both are Fantasy/romance/mystery dramas, with more mystery in the beginning and more romance towards the end
- Both have creepy fantasy elements and involve heavy emotions/decisions which gives them a similar vibe at times
- Both involve a non-human character
- Both dramas involve a main character looking for their parents/parent
- Both involve exploration of afterlife, gods, and have similar depictions of the journey to death (on a boat in a river)
- Both dramas involve quite a bit of saving
Differences:
- While TOTNT has some historical backstory, it is set in modern time and Arang is set in Joseon time
- Arang involves more slow burn romance where TOTNT the main characters fall in love much more quickly
- While Arang also has fun side characters, it feels much more contained/focused on the main characters while TOTNT has more of an ensemble cast feel
I would recommend these dramas if you think the similarities are why you liked one or the other drama, but if the things that are different between the dramas made you like one or the other drama, I would be hesitant to recommend it.

While I was watching this japanese drama I was constantly reminded of SITR. Why? It is a noona romance. The woman (who behaves like a doormat) works in the office and is a victim of ordinary office harassment. Meeting a fake rebel, gives her the courage to fight back. There is even a mother looking unkindly on this relationship. This drama is less angsty and much sweeter than SITR but the korean drama has the best chemistry ever!
While I was watching TOTNT, I was reminded of Goblin very strongly. They share very similar vibes.

Both are mini dramas in which the FL is drunk/sleeping and receives a confession or kiss, but doesn't know who it was among several possibilities. She then tries to discover which of the MLs is the one who confessed/kissed her. Both have a love triangle (ML, SML, and FL) and the confession/kiss has an unexpected twist to it.
TG remind me much of drama D.P which also centered around bullying but with different setting as it happened in military premise .IMO, the bullying aspect in D.P was more hardcore, dark , gory than the one shown in TG.
Both have super cute big height differences between the main couple. Both couples are students and have a friendship to romance relationship.
