Two people from different countries meet in Hong Kong, romance ensues.
They both also use english to communicate since neither know each other's language at first. Female leads make an effort to learn more of male leads's language.

Both star Son Hyun Joo and feature a strained father-son (or father figure) type relationship that results in crime and tragedy.

Both stories involve the demon lord ML who is a vessel for all evil/malicious energy and the goddess FL who must restore balance of good/evil in the world. So relationship dynamics are similar - yin and yang, they-are-each-other's-half kind of dynamic. However, while TTJ and YXW are enemies at the beginning, ZYZ and WX from Fangs of Fortune start as companions.
CDL is also in both dramas - as the villain in TTEOTM and FL in FoF.
Finally, both dramas place thematic emphasis on the concept of the butterfly dream.

Love comes in all flavors. Secret Ingredient is the story of a Korean man who gives up his entire luxurious life in Seoul in search of his childhood girlfriend, someone he’s never forgotten all these years, in the hopes that she would fall in love with him, not for who they were back then or who they are now, but for what they can aspire to be: happy, fulfilled and blissfully in love with one another.
