Both are about former classmates where one offers the other to become roommates to focus better on their job. While the rent for the room is basically "Just do whatever I tell you" which might be house work or might be something else :)

Both dramas involve the ML being asked to pose as his twin brother. In Fervent Kiss, its by his uncle, and the FL takes time to figure it out, whereas in Be Your Knight, the FL drags the ML into the story and the rest of their family, mainly their aunt, figures it out over time.
The rest of the dramas have different vibes, one in modern setting, the other in a more dangerous republican era setting.

Both shows are centred on romance in the workplace with the same ML. However, Touch Your Heart focuses a lot more on comedy. I also prefer Touch Your Heart in terms of the second couples and plot. If you enjoyed The Divorce Insurance, you will definitely enjoy Touch Your Heart.
