Both dramas are essentially 2020s reimaginings of "old" romcom tropes from 2010s and both dramas execute use of these tropes well.

In both stories male CEO decides to enter a contract relationship with troublemaking female lead just to please his beloved grandfather (and essentially inherit the grandfathers company). The grandfather is in both dramas a goofy guy who knows more than he shows.

Both female leads are hardworking independent girls skilled in their own thing but sometimes helpless in male leads rich world of ritchy ritches.

Both drama have elements of slapstick comedy and animated way of expressing comedy.

The difference is in framing of the story - in TSOPMC, the female lead (joseon lady) time-travels from Joseon era into current time thus not being aware of modern customs; in ABP, the female lead is employee in ml's company and disguises as someone else to contract date the male lead.

The Japanese version has the same premise as the Korean version (the Korean version is adapted from this movie).

While Takane no Hana-san is not a gay romance, it is aslo a romance (and comedy). In Takane no Hana-san, Takamine Hana has a huge crush on Yowaki Tsuyoshi and acts in an eccentric way (as if fangirling over him). She hides this side of herself from Yowaki Tsuyoshi, much like Akafuji Yuichiro hides his from Aoyanagi Hajime in BL Drama no Shuen ni Narimashita: Crank Up Hen.

The two male leads in BL Drama no Shuen ni Narimashita: Crank Up Hen work together which provides us with plenty of funny interactions between the two as this secret is trying to remain as such. Same with Takane no Hana-san, though the female lead and her love interest are superior and subordinate instead of co-workers of an equal level.

Both dramas star Ogoe Yuki if anyone is interested in this actor. He has a more prominent role in Takane no Hana-san as the female lead's love interest.
