Same aesthetic as they both take place within about 200 years of each other. Both involve military plots, betrayals, battles, and great acting.

Stories aren't similar but there's travel, great cinematography and an overall similar theme of meeting abroad while traveling

I reccommend you check out Mobius, The Listener, Light of Dawn and Talking Bones (have the same director and female lead at Hanging Mirror

Both shows are about random comedic situations that take place in school amongst a group of friends.

You are my destiny is the Chinese adaption of Fated to Love You. It also has ML and FL who get closed due to an unplanned pregnancy. ML is a rich chaebol just like in Positively Yours. So many similarities.

Moon River is like a redemption arc for Tale of Nokdu's. The ML of Moon river is also a key role in Tale of Nokdu. In fact, he plays the role of a grand prince in the Tale of Nokdu, which is similar to the position of the 2nd male lead in Moon River.

Both in the Joseon Era, the stories are more of parallel plots, but in different universes. Both also contain the supernatural, and also dives into political plots. Queen:Love and War focuses more on the Queen's perspective, while Moon River gives a steady balance on both perspectives. ML in Queen Love and War and the FL in Moon River both starred in Business Proposal.

If you are open to C Dramas, Love between Lines is far better than Dynamite Kiss, Both Have:

- Male and Female lead have good chemistry both personality wise and physically
- Wealthy, powerful CEOs as the main male lead, with the less privileged female lead re-entering the work force/having career setbacks due to family obligations
- Male lead having significant family issues and traumas that led them to start independent businesses and are only now reintegrating with the family business
- Male lead and female lead working together and trying to keep their connection a secret, with the male lead in the more powerful, mentor role

HOWEVER, Love between the Lines is much much better. It has escalating dangers and rescue scenes due to a well -integrated plot, the relationship builds naturally and respectfully and is a joy to watch, miscommunications and barriers to being together make sense, and it just is overall better executed.

I think reset is similar to this because both are sci fi drama with the FLs hairstyles similar. I like both the pair.

Disguised Family feels similar to The Love You Give Me in the way it centers on fiercely protective mothers who would do anything for their child. Both dramas balance that emotional intensity with a budding romance that feels exciting and satisfying to watch, making the story both heart-warming and engaging.

This drama gives a similar vibe, both leads are undercover.. and things get messy when the female lead meets her ex as her boss. The guy gets suspicious, while she pretends not to know him. Fun, tense, and addictive.

They are both about corrupt turned good guys who die after trying to uproot corruption. They both go back in time to destroy the corrupt ecosystem in the law space. One is a prosecutor the other a lawyer
