Both are Japanese productions centered around women who live alone and the food they make. Both have a winter-time setting.

This might be a bit of an unusual suggestion, but if you loved the mature and self sacrificing Crown Prince Yi Jin and/or Officer Min Woo Won in Rookie Historian, and I think you'll really like the Crown Prince Lee Chang in the Kingdom series.

Very similar synopsis; relative of a wife seduces husband, partially obsessed, strong wife with self love / (even red shoes are similar), daughter

It’s a continues story from the gifted. The main character of the gifted still there to continue their plan

Both are Historical costume drama, with Fantasy, Romance n a bit of Comedy genre. Both has a strong male lead with a status. The female leads are both kinda smart yet not strong physically. Their lives are somewhat depended to the male lead.

The core theme of both stories is the same: The female protagonist possesses a vibrant personality and relies on her intelligence to survive. In different scenarios, she assumes the role of a close relative of the strict male lead. Initially, they have a competitive relationship, but gradually they develop feelings for one another. Furthermore, a second male character, an apparently perfect individual, appears as a supporting lead in both storylines.

Both of these shows are office romcoms.
The comedy is done well and the two characters have great chemistry.
Both ML are successful and good at their jobs.
Love triangles are also a common theme in both the shows.

Both are Republican Era mini dramas in which the main couple were going to get married but then something horrible happened. The ML then becomes violent and keeps the FL as a slave in his mansion.

Kikazaru is a 2021 spring drama, and Animals is a 2022 summer drama, so similar vibes (camera language, color grading, wardrobe, etc)

The First ML in both dramas work in a less 'conventional' area of work (Kikazaru: chef & Animals: fashion photographer). Both face serious career questions regarding the future. The relationship with the FL forms the 'other end' of things the ML must consider. Both the lead couples have a playful, bickering, sibling-like vibe initially.

The central 'love triangle' appears to be working on a similar dynamic. The FL and the Second ML boss have a fun camaraderie, but what seems like attraction is actually just massive admiration, adoration and respect of the FL towards the Second ML, who in both dramas, is played by a more senior/ established actor (generally, both have mostly played First Male Leads).

Since both dramas are set in the design world (Kikazaru: furniture & fashion, Animals: cosmetics & fashion magazine), the backdrop is against a highly glamorized & fashionable, metropolitan Tokyo.

Both dramas have a similar feel and are about a detective partnered with a person with a special skill to catch a serial killer who has the same skill and controls their victims' minds in some way. One is fantasy, the other scientific, though.

Both stories are about finding happiness again and their journey of self discovery. Both have several inspiring messages like it's never too late to be happy and we should love ourselves. Both have funny moments and more sad and tense moments, but overall they are dramas that make you feel good.

Both of these Korean Friends-to-Lovers BLs feature leads with a teasing and aloof dynamic towards each other.
