Another drama about a dysfunctional chaebol family and the lengths they are willing to go in order to gain7keep the power; lying, stealing, corruption, murder! Everything is very dramatically underlined by a sweeping score!! Magnificent! Another makjang, murder mystery, revenge, deep secrets drama! So much fun to watch!
Chaebols, huge corporations, fight for power within the ruling family, stray heirs, rotten lawyers and a mysterious death in the past that needs to be elucidated! Even the music is similar; sweeping violins playing threatening waltzes!
Fun to watch if you do not take it too seriously, though Money Flower is much more depressing!

The story follows Sheng Ming Lan, an unfavored concubine-born 6th daughter of an official. After losing her mother at a young age, Ming Lan is raised by her paternal grandmother. Growing up, she learns to hide her true genius self and use crafty and cunning methods in order to survive the tough conditions where family members are plotting against each other and where no actual familial love exists.
She then meets Gu Ting Ye, the second son of a rich marquis household, who is supposed to inherit wealth from both the parents and a noble title. Unlike Ming Lan, Gu Ting Ye is straightforward with his actions and never hides his true self, causing him to fall victim to all the planning and plotting against him, where he ends up losing everything.
Ming Lan and Ting Ye join forces, and through cunning schemes and daring endeavours, they both rise in position and work to obtain justice from those that have wronged them.

Both are historical set, somewhat slow paced, but engrossing. Both MLs have some sort of supernatural power. Both FLs are their second, instead of first love.
Both have a ML with regrets and a short lifespan. Their only hope for a cure is in a vault that can only be opened by pieces of a treasure (jade vs. glazed armor) that multiple people are fighting over. Both are historically set with fantasy elements.
MFMR is much, much lighter in tone than WOH, though.

Both tackle the situation of a famous lawyer that is forced to take a leave from their jobs after a case doesn't go the way they expected. They both end up being professors too while trying to get their positions back.

In both the leading lady turns into a cat. Ru Xiao Lan is a young woman from the modern day. Through a series of circumstances, she travels to the ancient times as a cat. Purely by chance, she meets Qing Mo Yan who's suffering from a poison and as they kiss, they realize that they've found the solution to each other's complications. Deciding to stick together for their own gain, the two embark on a journey to find the five-colored stone that can break Xiao Lan's curse and the ghost grass that can cure Mo Yan's affliction.
Both are very warm dramas with loving couples and almost no other person (there is a guy who follows the female lead and a guy who follow the main lead and even from years, but neither of the leads ever gives them any hopes /almost/..so they are more likely in there for just spiking the guy or the girls attention over the guy in an important moment or so).
Both starts with a cold guy who immidiatelly turns warm towards the girl after she picks his interests into episode 1.

While MFMR is much lighter in tone and shorter than LoF, both MLs suffer from a "cold poison" and the FL is willing to go to great lengths to try to save him once she finds out. Also the plot involves trying to locate and put the pieces of a treasure together.
