it also has an interesting plot! The main leads are daebak and they are like the young historical version of Song Joong Ki and Song Hye Kyo . Park Bo Gum is playful and smart like Song Joong Ki and Kim Yoo Jung is intelligent and loves to help people like Song Hye Kyo in DOTS. LOVE IN THE MOONLIGHT is HIGHLY recommended! You will regret nothing after watching this drama :)
In both, the cast a lot of international cast in one drama/movie. Both have military as a main plot point.
The tones are not similar, but both are good in their own right. DOTS has romance, and is light-hearted fun, bit with some serious moments. My Way is more darker and has a more realistic tone of war. No romance at all in the movie.

Both feature incredible chemistry with two leads whose romance is delayed and in fits and starts due to their professional ambitions as they cross paths and try to make it work over months (and maybe even years) . .
Whereas Descendents of the Sun also has a lot of adrenaline from taking place in rescue/war zones the feel of being on a journey with a couple you are absolutely cheering on and have gotten to know extremely well is very similar.

medical mission drama in a not so known place.
the main plot is the romance between the main leads.
the love stories involve doctors and military/uniformed men.
the female leads in a beautiful lie are literal beauties, top actresses of the entertainment industry
the female lead in DOTS has a nickname beauty. while the male lead is big boss.

Very, very different. But I know that most Song Joong Ki fans became fans through this drama and might see him as a mediocre actor if he fails to succeed after DOTS, thus I am recommending a drama he did before DOTS which shows his capability as an actor.
The drama I'm showing is "Tree with Deep Roots". It is one of the first dramas where Song Joong Ki shows great acting. He appears on Episodes 1-4 + episode 8 or 9 (can't remember which of episode 8 or 9 he appeared). You can see how versatile his acting is.
I am not downplaying the other actors either. Han Suk Kyu is also someone who gave a really great performance as the adult version of the King Sejong played by Song Joong Ki. Jang Hyuk and Shin Se Kyung also gave great performances. The plot, while being only a fictional version of how Hangul is made, is a very plausible possibility on how Hangul is actually made. The characters are compelling.
The very few similarities they have is that, the many of the main characters, whether the possibility of being together with their loves is high or not, have rarely backed down on their principles and are always focusing on serving the people that they serve (except perhaps Jang Hyuk's character in the first few episodes of Tree with Deep Roots)
