both are costume dramas with beautiful visuals and fantasy elements centering around a female assassin and a man who would do anything for her. the female leads are both incredibly strong women with tragic backgrounds whose desire to survive drive them forward. one difference would be that in alchemy of souls, the fl is the teacher and the ml the student, while in bloody romance it's the other way around. alchemy of souls is also more lighthearted than bloody romance, but both dramas do get dark at points.
The fate of these people become twisted due to "hwanhonsool" (the soul of the dead return to the living).
In the country of Daeho, Jang Wook comes from the noble Jang family. He holds an unpleasant secret about his birth, which people all around the country talk about. He's a troublemaker. Jang Wook happens to meet Mu Deok. She is an elite warrior, but her soul is trapped in a physically weak body. She becomes Jang Wook’s servant, but she also secretly teaches him how to fight.
Seo Yool comes from the noble Seo family. He seems perfect with good appearance, intelligence, and strong martial arts skills. Go Won is the crown prince of Daeho. He hopes to become a generous king.

Samet story of Searching for the missing crown prince, although the story is different. It was Jang Uk, who turned out to be the crown prince, that is, his father's soul was king but his body was eunuch. Unlike Lee Seol, he ran away from the kingdom but he slipped away by taking the test of becoming a soldier.

Thinking that she might be able to cure Toru out of his playboy ways, Minato continues to disguise herself as Mina but will she be able to keep up the charade when she starts developing feelings for Toru?
I wouldn't say these two dramas are very similar, but here are some reasons why I'm recommending this:
~ Fantasy Elements [Demons/Humans/Mages with Powers]
~ Powerful Lead Characters [Both have strong male and female leads . the ML in AOS weak at first but evolves]
~ Slow-burn Romance
~ Investigation and Mysteries
~ Strong Themes of Friendship and Family
~ Famous and Talented Cast
~ Great Cinematography and Visuals
~ Great CGI and Fight Scenes

The FL is an assasin, she loses her memory and is a 'perfect lady': cute, charming, ...
Alchemy of Souls did it better because it start but building the FL up with her assasin-reputation and slowly revealing she has feelings. And then she loses her memory.
Are you the one starts by having the FL losing her memories, which makes it so we can't connect to her very well
