Both are set in the workplace, with fake relationships and melodramatic dangers galore. If you enjoy giggling and kicking your feet at the romcom clichés of Dynamite Kiss, then you will also enjoy When the Phone Rings.
Both of these dramas are about a man trying to prove his innocence while conspiracies and merciless villains try to tear him down.
Both have a fantasy ML who's goofy and a cold FL that becomes warm. The celestial fighting is fab and both couples fall in love so naturally.
In both shows, ML is hiding his identity and keeping a low profile due to incidents in his past that receive criticism, even though he has achieved fame/success anonymously.
Healing vibes are really strong in both shows and they are both comfortable autumn watches.

The main character of The King and The Clown is based on the same person in history as the jester in Bon Appetit. It is set in the same period of time and of course, both kings are based on the same historical king. They mention this incredible movie in Bon Appetit so I think people should watch it to understand the reference and also because the movie is really good and was a cultural touchstone in Korean society. They both take a look at the romantic life of the King in different ways. I highly, highly recommend.
Death's Game (parts 1&2) is another fantasy action/thriller drama with a superb and huge cast lineup. Both shows also have Seo In Guk.
Both shows are about pressure for societal change, urged on through violence on the wings of journalism that is morally dubious to say the least. Both shows have themes of revenge and justice and are fast paced.
In both shows, the FL is secretly (due to unbelievable or controversial reasons) protecting and looking after the ML. They both have a school setting, a love triangle, an athlete ML, and really great cinematography. Highly recommend both of these shows.
I haven't seen this recommended yet, but it also has the same plotline where the ML solves the last wishes of the dead and makes a business out of it.
Both shows involve the FL returning to where she grew up after a fumble in life and falling in love with the ML who is loved by everyone in the town, while going on a journey of personal growth. Both shows involve comforting vibes with a touch of dark that highlights the comedy and advances the romantic story.
Both of these are violent and revenge-driven dramas set in the dark underworld of Seoul. They are shorter dramas, driven forward by action.
Both these dramas are heartbreaking historicals, tragedies in slow motion. The romance in moon lovers is epic and both of the ML back stories will hurt your soul.
