The story of "Definitely not today" is way darker than Meet yourself I know, but the main point remains "Healing ". Both of them show new kinds of possibilities when you're feeling at the bottom or in the mud.
This recommendation of mine is shorter so if you watch the trailer you can see pretty much of the main idea of the show.
Hope have helped.
Cya!

The main lead movés from the big city to the countryside.
In Meet Yourself she goes to a village where she doesn't know anyone, but learns to love the place and the people.
In Grocery Store the ML comes back to the village where he grew up and reunites with old friends.
Both dramas explore the life in the countryside and little villages, where people still have old crafts and professions.
Both dramas also treat the theme of parents having to leave the town to go to work to bigger cities, leaving their children with their grandparents.
Grocery Store is more nostalgic but both dramas have similar vibes.

Meet Yourself and Chef Hua may be two completely different genres - modern and historical respectively, but the vibe they exude is similar. One being modern and one being historical might be the only major difference there is. Both are actually business related in their own respective ways (you can probably tell from Chef Hua's title)
They're both a breath of fresh air, relaxing, soothing, and healing. They have little to no conflict in terms of romance, action, family drama etc (Chef Hua may have a little more action, but it's not the focus).
Neither will leave you with an angsty aftertaste every episode, and you can watch it at your own pace, especially Meet Yourself.

Both dramas embrace emotional healing through everyday moments and quiet reflection. If you loved Meet Yourself for its slow pacing, emphasis on small joys, and the way it encourages you to reconnect with yourself and others, Brewing Love offers a similar cup of peace—with a romantic touch and plenty of beautiful café scenes.
Both are slice of life, slow burn romances that deal with grief and have good soundtracks.
Main differences:
- Meet Yourself is set in a rural village while A Piece of Your Mind is set mostly in a neighborhood in Seoul. Despite this, A Piece of Your Mind still has that slow, cozy, peaceful feel.
- A Piece of Your Mind is more purposefully dramatic, in typical kdrama fashion.
- Meet Yourself has characters spanning a wider range of ages.

- Main theme on redevelopment and progression of a small town/village in Mainland China.
- Highlights life choices, career path, importance of education, differences in thinking between different generation of Asians, how Asian women have evolved over the last 20 years.
Differences: There isn’t much of a focus on romance in Story of Xing Fu, choices made by women was still an important theme but the script of Story of Xing Fu was apparently majorly edited hence why. Meet Yourself has quite a bit of humour but not in SoXF.
