Though not much, there are some similarities:
Strong FML with very high fighting skills and survival instincts
ML has a high position
Palace schemes, war
The only problem is it has a very tragic and sad ending. If you don't mind a tragic ending, then this drama is highly recommended. It has very nice story with friendship, love and sacrifice.

•FML has great fighting skills ( in POJ I really love how she fights with her butcher knife)
•Family members had to die for schemes(in GTG FML's aunt had to die )
•ML has a hidden identity (has a very high position and respected, feared by all)
•Political schemes, strategies, war (In GTG war between sects and demons, among the sects)
•They get apart thinking they won't meet again
Though it's not similar, but in POJ , The side couple has a very toxic, sadistic love-hate relationship (Qi min and Yu Qian Qian) though I hate forced painful torturous relationship, but they did a great job. Yu Qian Qian's hatred towards Qi min, and Qi min's obsession towards Yu Qian Qian has added some nice spices in this drama.
The storyline of POJ is very great. I couldn't skip even a minute, I had to watch every minute of this drama because it's very addictive.
If you like strong FML and ML, great fighting, wuxia plot with journey to save the country and family, work together with friends to solve problems, and you don't mind a slow burning love then POJ is for you. 100% recommended. A must watch.
And if you love fantasy, ML chasing FML storyline with friendship, family love and protect everyone, then GTG is for you.

Difference: Positively Yours ffell in love, for real, and got togehter with a great consideration for their families and their exising lives.
I totally hate the ending of Because this is my first love - both ML and FL are super egoistical and do not understand what is important and ditch their families and live lives strictly for their own convenience
and I totally dislike FL in Because this is my first love. She is rather slimey and very weak
FL in Positively Yours is a very mature woman

Both dramas are about "the grass looks greener on the other side" - wanting an "exciting" partner and taking stable loyal partners for granted.
In both dramas, a lead character is confused and does not know what they want in a partner, does not appreciate the good qualities of their stable loyal partner, and dates a glam "hot" partner bc it is exciting
The diference is that in Familiar Wife the relationships are not in parallel, but one by one, via the means of time travel, i.e. the man does not cheat on his wife lol
In Practical Guide to Love, a single female is stringing two guys - one stable boring and one exciting and she essentially dates both of them at the same time, letting them fight for her, and leading both of them on
In Familiar Wife, a man's marriage is failing... He married a "plain ordinary kind woman" who is a stable solid dedicated wife and mom - and he took her for granted ... he became "too familiar" and thus egoistical, and.... she turned into a raging monster ...
so he feels stiffled and wants a more comfortable life for himself, and wonders - what if he had chosen a more glam woman?... for example, the rich beautiful girl he rejected back then?
So.... he has a chance to time travel back. He decides to marry his old glorious rich crush ... and then he gets to watch what would have happened in that alternate reality and to make some better choices.
This is a great role of the very famous actor Ji Sung (most recently, in Judge Returns 2026 kdrama). it is a great tragicomedy and a true rom com and also melodrama

Familyhood is about a very jerky woman who wants to improve her image by having a baby, so she hires a pregnant teenager and plans to snag the baby, claiming it is hers. However, the plan backfires.
Just like in Our Universe, where ML went from a jerk to a caring dad and FL went from a clueless moron to more caring, the Familyhood FL and the teenage mom become good co-parents to the kid.

The similarity is misuse of medicine for self-serving / unethical / criminal purposes and interfering as-if a God, and creating a business out of it - and creating a mess and severe philosophical, ethical and societal dilemmas.
The Defects lead is the chief director of a large hospital and the operator of a charity foundation. She is a highly respected doctor, but, she is secretly the head of an illegal adoption organization that sells "perfect" babies for big bucks.
The Defects lead is a greedy, egotistical, psycho-narcissist criminal who interferes with the natural state of human reproduction and decides to act "like God" .... and devises an elaborate medical scheme to produce "perfect babies" AND and an elaborate social scheme to maintain " perfect chidren"
The Defects lead engages in heavy criminal activities to uphold that "perfect child" dream. For example,
If an adopted child turns out not to be "perfect" before the age of 19, parents can return the child for a full refund - even one parent can ask for it, and no justifications are needed - and the child will be killed.
The lead then continues to look for and create "more perfect" children
The lead advertises a "perfect child" having a perfect external image including perfect demeanor and anything that the parent desired to be perfect (for example, perfect in academics or sports), and perfect obedience to the parent.
Whatever the parent thinks is "perffect" - to the point of blind worshiping and agreeing with the parent, the child being molested or beaten or abused by the parent, basically the child is like a doll that the parent can proudly display and do whatever they want with the kid and throw the kid out whenever they wish
