I feel that these two dramas share many similarities, especially in their love that transcends centuries. Although the story unfolds mainly in the present, the past plays a crucial role in the protagonists' destinies. Both dramas blend romance, humor, and mystery, and the chemistry between the lead couple is simply amazing.
Another similarity is that in both stories, the protagonist’s own family tries to harm him because of inheritance issues. As a result, he distances himself from that environment and has a complicated relationship with his father or grandfather, depending on the case, since he favors someone who is not his direct blood relative. However, despite the conflict, he is still expected to inherit the family fortune.
Another similarity is that both female leads display unusual behaviors at first—one because she comes from a different era, and the other because she is a mermaid. Even so, they adapt wonderfully to the modern world. Both protagonists are physically strong.

The male lead gets possessed by a spirit and so does the female lead in brave new world and both leads experience internal struggles and transformation after being overtaken (or influenced) by another spirit.
Both in head over heels and brave new world feature a powerful supernatural female presence (shaman & seductress) who disrupts the male lead’s life.
The romance in both dramas starts with conflict
Both male leads are emotionally distant and cold at first Gyeon-woo because of his dark fate, Se-gye because of his ruthless chaebol personality.

Both have Supernatural (rich?) female leads and Rich male lead.
Both have a strong supernatural female lead. Jang Man-wol (Hotel del Luna) is a centuries-old ghost with a tragic past and Shin Seo-ri is a Joseon-era seductress who possesses an actress in the modern day. Both women are seen as villainous or dangerous but have deep emotional scars underneath.
Both are set in the modern world, but tied to historical past. Man-wol is stuck in the modern era because of her sins from Joseon and Seo-ri’s spirit enters the modern world after her Joseon execution.

Similar concept but it's more sad in the beginning but with the more emotional intensity, complicated royal relationships, political tension, heartbreak and unforgettable chemistry, then Scarlet Heart: Ryeo is a must watch. It slowly turns into one of the most emotionally devastating historical dramas ever. The relationships between the princes, the betrayals, the longing, the sacrifices and the tragic romance hit really hard. Lee Joon Gi absolutely steals the show as Wang So, and the OST makes every scene feel even more painful in the best way possible. Just prepare yourself emotionally because this drama does not play with your feelings at all.

Both are TIMETRAVEL ROMANCE Kdramas.
My Royal Nemesis mentions Thousands Years of Love in ep 1 (Shaman scene).
For those curious, this is the 1st timetravel kdrama mentioned.
Thousand Years of Love had quite good plot but VERY cheap Costumes etc. So IF you can overlook how Cheap looking it is, it might be decent watch if you enjoy the Timetravel genre.
