Supernatural, spunky female lead (ghost in Arang, mermaid in Legend) with a male lead that starts off indifferent but changes because of the female. Both males have to protect the females throughout the drama. Both males are also looking for their mothers. Both have fantasy, mystery, comedy, drama and romance, and both are based off Korean folktales.

Arang is a supernatural drama featuring ghosts, gods, evil, revenge and redemption. It definitely has a more comedic element than what we see in Black Knight thus far but there is also melo and eventually a beautiful romance. If you are a fan of supernatural dramas, I have found Arang to be one of the most satisfactory k-dramas of that genre.

Both are supernatural dramas that feature a lively dead girl and a male lead who can see ghosts and their fun and (of course) dramatic romance. I know some people avoid historical dramas as a rule, but Arang and the Magistrate is too fun to pass up and is something even those who swear against historical dramas can enjoy.
Both have a perfect balance of drama and comedy and keep you entertained for the whole ride.

Historical and fantasy themes are similar
Beings other than humana
AATM has a more direct romance
Both have ongoing mysteries of the present and past
BIM has concepts of next lives and reincarnations as a major theme, but it's more of a minor one in AATM
both are fantasy based mysteries, AATM set entirely in the historical Era.
