The drink on the Witch's poster looks like the drink Mr. Kim made from hotel del luna.

sisters/ family- both dramas contain sisters that fight with each other but due to different reasons.
female lead living in a poor family with the male lead in a rich family
ML and FL of both stories have met in the past but then reunited but don't know each other until later.
love/hate

Both Taiwan BL's. Both enemies to lovers. Has the same vibes in terms of filming style. The leads are gorgeous. It's obvious that one lead is smitten from the start while the other thinks he has feelings for someone else.
In both movies the main protagonist takes on lots of different part time jobs to get by. They dont stay at one place for long and constantly move around. At one point they even find love but things dont go smoothly.
similar chemistry between the ML and FL where they both start off by fighting (one more than the other).
both stories contain a 'sister' (stepsister/cousin) role that is jealous of the FL and prevents them from being able to find the FL's long lost mother.

similar idea that the FL is lost/abandonded as a child.
evil jealous step sister that wants everything that belongs to the FL.
Both ML and FL for both stories have met and known each other as a child and now have fallen in love as an adult.

They both have workplace romance
Side relationships you want
Loved the cast around the main characters in both of them

Romance between a mentor and disciple relationship, both are romance, fantasies with similar concepts and color palette too. Good acting but the Journey of FLower is older so keep that in mind in terms of CGI and budget, of course Ancient Love Poetry looks better on screen but both are enjoyable overall
These two Jdramas that consist of different storylines and target audiences surprisingly share common themes, character traits, and much more.
*Note: I'll refer 30-sai made Dotei Da to Mahotsukai ni Nareru rashii as its short title in english, "Cherry Magic."
Similarities for both Jdramas:
-They are wholesome Jdramas depicting healthy relationships for both romantic relationships and friendships. There is amazing chemistry and relationship development in both Jdramas. All of the main leads are both considerate and supportive to their partner, friends, acquaintances, housemates and/or co-workers.
-They are both romantic comedy Jdramas that display plenty of fluffy moments for the couples.
-The main leads (Mashiba Kurumi from Kikazaru Koi and Adachi Kiyoshi from Cherry Magic) are straightforward.
-Each character possess interesting/unique personalities that shows their charming side.
-Both feature cute pets as characters too!
-Each Jdrama consists of characters that go through great character development.
-Both Jdramas teach valuable life lessons.
-Radiate good vibes for the majority of the season.
-Both include characters that had a crush on someone for 7 years.
-Cohabitation occurs in both Jdramas, except it only happens briefly in Cherry Magic.
-Consists of skillful acting from all actors and actresses!
Few differences:
-In Cherry Magic, they place less emphasis on the characters' work-life, while concentrating more on their personal lives. Whereas Kikazaru Koi focuses on the characters' work-life and personal life simultaneously.
-Cherry Magic includes supernatural elements because the main male lead, Adachi Kiyoshi gains the power to read people's minds.
-Kikazaru Koi express straight couples, while Cherry Magic shows same-sex couples.

Both are beautifully shot costume romantic dramas with beautiful actors. Both have marriage life and typical Chinese palace power struggle.
But the stories differs much, while Ming Lan is quite smart and restrained, the FL of Ru yi is not; Story of Ming Lan is more realistic, Ruyi Pavilion (aka Snowfall of wishes) is just sweet and fluffy.
