Both of the dramas portray an enemies to lovers pairing. They are both about an office romance between a CEO and an employee. In both the dramas there is an identity misunderstanding as in Business Proposal the female lead is lying about her identity and in My dearest nemesis the leads actually know each other but don't realise it. Also, the female leads in both the dramas is strong and driven.
They're both fun and light dramas with a more serious backdrop of abuse and neglect with the main male lead. Both male leads have a tense relationship with their grandparent that results them taking extreme measures - one goes to hide everything he likes and suppresses himself, and one develops OCD and mysophobia. Both grandparent in both dramas get off a bit too easily in my opinion - like sorry an apology is not going to heal years of abuse, but that's just me! Outside of that, both drama feature a boss-employee relationship, plenty of funny moments, and the main message is all about loving your partner as they are.
(I do admittedly like My Dearest Nemesis better, but if you need another drama that's similar in vibes and messages, but different enough that you aren't watching the same show again, I think CWPFN is one to consider.)

Both dramas tell stories about complicated relationships. "My Dearest Nemesis" seems to be about people getting over bad things that happened to them and growing as people. "My Sweet Mobster" seems to be about a man trying to be good after being bad. So, if you like shows with people who have old relationships and change a lot, or if you like shows about childhood relationship, you might like both of these dramas.
