This apply mostly for the first half of Love in Flames of War:
- the male chases the female first & both are flirty
- in both their marriage is somewhat forced ( not so much in Story of Ming Lan )
- when they get married the male lead already likes the female lead, however the female lead will start to like & love him after the they get married
- in both the male leads are clever, scheming and have military power; however in Story of Ming Lan the male lead is more clever and charismatic
- both female leads are calm, quick witted and feminists ; though Ming Lan is by far smarter and more rational
- both have the scheming and unreasonable " third party " aka second male and female lead; however in Story of Ming Lan, the love triangle plots are very different in terms of dynamic, when they happen and how the main characters feels about them
- well-matched and beautiful OSTs

Extra things that are not similar but it makes Story of Ming Lan an outstanding drama:
- the story is longer therefore the female lead and male lead have a big character development ( which totally makes sense in justifying why certain characters & incidents are the way they are ) ; the plot is more complex and the quality is better
- far less misunderstandings between the leads and much more trust
- the story revolves a lot around the families of both female & male lead but is made very entertaining
- by the time the leads get married both have been through a lot of hardship and have matured
- every character is well played by the actors ( even support roles ) hence I've never found myself skipping forward
- when it was filmed the main actors were dating and later got married therefore all the romance scenes and the way they look at each other is something else and totally worth the wait
- no dubbing, using on set voices

To conclude, The Story of Ming Lan gives similar vibes, however the plot and characters are superior and more captivating. Hence I highly recommend watching it.

Both dramas feature a healthy relationship between the leads which starts as a rivalry. Both stories have a school/college setting.

Both dramas revolve around a large group of people faced with an extreme situation, isolated from the outside world and fighting to survive. Both dramas feature sort of a disease and a mastermind behind the situation. In both dramas characters need to figure out the true nature of the situation in order to escape.

Same basketball theme but you're my sky has a better story and cast.
Felt Our Days was disappointing

Playful and charming female and male lead. Strong romantic plot. Historical drama. The famale loves first the male lead. They faces together all the problems.

Both dramas gave me similar vibes. Pachinko involves forbidden love like The Hymn of Death.
Both are set during the period of Japanese occupation in Korea.

- Rich ML likes being alone and keeps talking about how he loves staying alone, but ends up with a hilarious, dorky, heartwarming little family... Both ML's hugeass houses serve as their bases. Everyone is practically living together.
- Both FLs are kickass, smart, hardworking characters who are also adorably sweet and kind
- Both MLs are extremely dorky sweethearts underneath but keep an ultra-cool, elegant, astute facade in front of the rest of the world. Only their inner circle family see them in pouty baby mode.
- Easy blend of physical and dialogue comedy that works very well

unconventional weird women, eccentricity as a style, grief, loneliness, friendship, societal/institutional critique, trauma, distinctive directorial styles, hidden thoughts and desires expressed, convoluted, incoherent mysteries, knotty, messy, bold and interesting

Common: Girls' perennial circle of friends; Failed relationships; Health examination; Tumor; Divorce.

Same writer, same wittiness, same values. There is meaningfulness in every situation.
Same amazing male lead
Both are sweet and very entertaining despite their length. Everything is well paced.
Highly underrated gems

One is comedy one is not.
One is short story one is regular length
One is trying not to get hitd, one is in the competition

- dating your boss type of troupe
- office setting
- the main lead is also a CEO/chaebol
- cute second leads

In both dramas, the male main lead is framed for the crime he did not commit and is on the run but later returns to take his revenge on the people who cause his pain .

They have similar setups, strong female leads who have a crush on their senior/president and then meet the male leads who is a chef. The female leads dress fashionably and they are successful in their own way at their jobs. Also have multiple couples.

Contrary to "Dear Doctor, I'm Coming for Soul", "Move to Heaven" is not supernatural nor a BL (it has a gay side plot for one episode though), but the similarity between the two dramas lies in how it portraits death. It shows different stories and fates of people who died / are about to die. Both dramas are really touching and tear jerking but beautiful.
