Myung Soo Hyun is the Screenwriter of both! which explains why both are very similar in one aspect which is comedy! the best thing about both shows is the unique traits of each characters which makes the interactions between them hilarious. both got that repetitive gags going on throughout the drama
If you like watching a young character slowly grows into the main villain like me, these 2 shows did it really well and similarly.
Both of these kids are loners overshadowed by the lead characters, and they never seem to achieve the same kind of popularity with people that the leads got.
Both also have mythical features (Heaven and Demon for Ashes of Love, Helheim Forest for Gaim) Both also have prophecy.
Both also come with many other grey characters.
The stories also progressed similarly. The kids all started out pretty innocent, which means both stories started out slow and comedic. When the stories hit a pretty similar turning point, you will know what you are really in for, and it will be serious from that point on. Several characters went through the point of no return. When characters reminisced, you will see that the stories have come really far.
Both pretty clearly have the split between the adults and the kids. The adults seemed all-powerful and kept the kids in check, but the kids are the ones fighting it out in the end. Both also have the fight between 2 brothers.
Romance is more prominent in Ashes of Love, but it also exists in Gaim, but this means many other prominent characters in Gaim are characters driven by several unique purposes, drowning out the romance. These characters have no equivalences in Ashes of Love and are interesting in their own rights.
Ashes of Love is much longer which allows more developments and side stories (sometimes recycled), but Gaim concisely achieved that main storyline. Ashes of Love is better than Gaim in terms of gender representation.
I know these 2 shows have different audiences, but seriously, they are so similar. If you finish one of them and can't move on, try the other one.

They're a lot of similarities between these two dramas: fake marriage/ relationship, contract of marriage, and at some point ( without spilling), the story is almost the same.
