A tale of power, ambition and corruption
The plots may seem very different, however they have some of the same noir, thrilling elements to it
Both are dramas that feature chaebols and normies, plagued by ambitions, who are playing dirty tricks on each other to achieve their goals. In both cases, the ML is an outsider from the corrupt chaebols ( in Doctor Prisoner, ML is a doctor that wants to destroy the people in power and get revenge, in Impossible Heir, ML wants to steal the company from said people in power )
Both have tense suspenseful moments, business tricks that shock the opponent, race against the clock to one-up the villain.
Nevertheless, there are also a lot of differences : there is no cute romance in doctor prisoner, don't expect kisses and confession. It is also darker in my opinion Than the impossible heir

When romance is thrown in the turmoils of history.
Both dramas start like your typical romcom, boy meets girl, girl dislikes boy... (Granted, in My Dearest the FL is wearing a hanbok while in Youth of May, she's running around in jeans.)
But then, history with an H intervenes. For Youth of May, the dictature and the shadow of the Gwangju massacre are looming over the happiness of our protagonists. For My Dearest, it's the Qing invasion that sweeps them away. So, if you like a *somewhat* realistic period piece that isn't all political and that still has time for some cutesie lovey dovey stares between the lead, these dramas are for you.
In both you have the perfect balance of lightheartedness and Melo
