Both of the shows main guy is Lee Junho, so if you enjoyed his acting in one you might also find the other really good. For his character love pushes his character to confront his past wounds, trust issues, or insecurities, which creates some character growth.
His, Lee Junho, chemistry with the lead actresses are amazing and can be seen in both shows already from episode 1.
King the Land lightly touches on corporate and family expectations, while Tycoon Family goes heavier into internal conflict within the company due to the IMF crisis so in that sense they are a bit different.

What made me think of King the Land while I was watching Love Me, Love my Voice was first of all the male leads and the PDA scenes/chemistry.
Second, it was the very obvious promotional trips, LOL.
What is different is that LMLMV is void of intrigues and scheming characters, something KTL is not.
But they are both sweet love stories.

Hotel Manager, part of the family, meets female employee, starts to notice the treatment of the start, starts to change them, and care more, and became a hotel that treasures the staff. King the Land explored that more, "a hotel of the great employees". Male leads grow as people and managers and then
Spoils
take over. Male lead is very romantic, soft and kind to female character and to others, very light and sweet, with hotel aesthetics.

First of all, both Male leads are wealthy heirs to a big company. Second of all both female leads work very closely with the male leads. Both dramas have male leads who are narcissistic chaebols who suffer from the trauma of trusting people and both female leads are strong hard working trusting leads.
Other Similarities:
Both fit the poor woman, rich man trope.
Both Male leads start off badly with the female lead but end up falling first and harder.
Both aren't strict with just office/business settings.
Strong Woman Do Bong Soon is one of those "you must have watched" dramas that most people get into first. (Basically, a beginner drama most people have watched). It's also very unique from traditional office romances because of the crime and supernatural elements. It's one of those comfort dramas that leaves you with such incredible satisfaction.
