Both are very bright and upbeat, with strong female leads, who focus on their careers. I am confident if you like one of these dramas you will love the other one too.
In both shows:
> The Female Lead has the ability to see ghosts. In Black she's born with the ability, whereas in TOTNT she developes/is given the ability.
> The Male Leads have few friends.
> The Male Leads are't human. In Black he's a grim reaper and in TOTNT he's a fox.
> The Male Leads are constantly protecting the Female Leads, more so when they develop feelings towards them.
> The Male Leads are strong, cocky but hilarious.
Having said that, Black is a lot darker than TOTNT.

The shows are quite different, but they do touch upon various similar themes:
> The Female Leads are ambitious and persistent. They don't only dream big, but they show they have the skills to ground those dreams and make them a reality. They are also undervalued by others and judged harshly for their backgrounds, but they show they don't care what others think as they walk to the sound of their own drums.
> The Male Leads are shown to be good at what they do, but they lack the tooth to make it big on their own, which is where the FL comes in. They end up trusting and almost following the Female Lead as they go forward.
> They both culminate in becoming partners in their own company.
> The relationship between the leads also begins with a lie. In Hyena, the FL lies to the ML and pretends to be someone she's not. Whereas in Start Up, the ML lies to the FL and pretends to be someone he's not.
> There are more than two strong female leads within the show who are strong, independent and actively involved in the plot.

Both shows have the same feel-good vibe with our main protagonists struggling to follow their dreams but who, little by little, make their way towards their goal. There's also an organic kind of friendship between them, though in FFMW the leads were good friends prior to the start of the drama, whereas with SU they are quickly becoming friends (though there's a bit of lying and pretending involved at the start).
Family dramas. They give a similar feeling. Also there is who keeps a secret in order to protect the one they love.
Both are beautiful, romantic, slow-paced melodramas that are centered around two leads connected by a fateful tragic incident. In both the characters deal with trauma, pain and scars of the past and overcoming them by finding comfort in each other. Both dramas also have some thriller elements to them and the FL being a famous actress.
Differences: FMIYM has some romcom elements to it at the beginning and feels a bit lighter, while CAHM feels like a heavier watch overall. Latter also leans more towards the crime/investigation side.

Both Ben X Jim and Better days are Boy's love produced in the Philippines. In both series, the lead actors were close friends in their childhood.
A woman has to deceive man. In the beginning she is controlled by someone else. However, at a certain point she will follow her own agenda and develope feelings for her target.
Both dramas deals with shaming and plotting of rich family members against each others and a ordinary woman who gets drawn into this world.

So its complicated, first of all China is much modern than Thai dramas which I have watched but the similar storyline there since , PCKNMCPW is based off the same drama/book that Begin Again is made off of. There will definitely be changes as the second couple storyline is definitely going to be more developed both secondary couples are already cute anyways.
Spoilers:
The FL does not want a child.( Thai)
There is an annoying third party.( Thai )
Thai Both hate each other at start. ( ML in begin again both in Thai)
Mutual developing love.( Both)
They met on an island as opposed to normal meeting in Begin Again.( Thai)
Strong but Spoiled FL In Thai Strong not spoiled FL in Begin Again.
Both get married for same reasons though/forced marriage/pressures.(Both)
Both obviously have multiple couples.(Both)
Both SML will find love.(Both)
Both already have chemistry. ( Begin Again has more in my opinion but its not finished yet).(Both)
Both are cute and serious in there ways.(Both)
Great start(Both)

both have a war at the end. set around the same time as world war 2. main characters work for the police force or law enforcement department. one of the male leads ends up following their own conscience instead of the law.
If you're looking for another fluffy (or even fluffier) show, Love Is Sweet is what you want. Both shows have wonderful Main Couples, great Characters and are just wonderful to watch if you feel a little down or just to make you feel good. I love them both but I must admit that Love Is Sweet is more memorable of those two!
they're both about psychopathic killers who murder people. both really good, with good story line, great actors, and acting. And they both have that dark gritty cinematic feel which will thrill all murder movie fans :)
While When I Was the Most Beautiful is not a revenge drama, quite a few of its aspects reminded me of A Love To Kill. Both dramas have a very beautiful cinematography. They also have a very similar main theme -- they both tell a story about two brothers who fall in love with the same woman. Both are emotional and a bit slow-paced, so I think if you enjoyed one, you might enjoy the other, too.
