They are both very different dramas in terms of styles and almost everything. But the way they both focus on one day throughout the drama and work with solving the mystery up until the last episode gives the same feeling for both.
Both stories are similar as they bring unrelated characters together on an adventure to investigate unusual cases, with a conpiracy behind it all. The characters all look out for each other. The ML in both are skilled intellectually, but not at fights.
The Mirage though is more sci-fi based, while Treasure at Dawn focuses more on medical and historical, political issues.

Both are historical and short dramas, and feature a group of characters who meet along the road and unite on their adventure due to common goals. The group dynamic is always fun to see and they all look out for each other no matter what. They both also include political struggles and major conpiracies/plans along the way. And def romance within the group members :D
The Mirage is a little more supernatural/sci-fi unlike GJoT which is more wuxia-focused.

That said, both dramas have different lengths, with The Mirage being a little more supernatural/sci-fi unlike TBoY which is more wuxia-focused.

Both have the futuristic setting where humanoid robots have become common in society. Although both have different robot origin stories, both focus on robots having and learning human emotions, though its a bigger focus in "Humans". The main plot of the story though is different in both, with Humans focusing on the survival of a "family of robots with human-like emotions" whereas The Bionic Life focusus more on investigation and solving cases involving such robots.
Both dramas feature serial killings by a victim of an old unsolved case. Both have police force teams created to solve the case, with the main leaders all involved in the said old case. Both also have a psychologist supporting char/ML pretty involved in the investigation. There is a similar relationship between the two MLs: one older ML who was briefly acquainted with the younger ML by chance through an old case. No real bromance in either :(
Both dramas feature serial killings by a victim of an old unsolved case. Both have special task force teams created to solve the case, with the main leaders all involved in the said old case. Though in Serial Homicide, there is slight bromance, and romance, there's none (bromance/romance) in The Abyss. The 2ML-1FL triad is consistent in both.

Would def say Desire Catcher was great though!

Both have MCs that rely on their strong sense of smell to pursue and solve cases. Both link to a past cold case of the MC
Both dramas have a hidden character who commits serial murders in the name of punishing evil for the people, revolving around the idea that law cannot give justice to all.
Both have two MLs and one FL leading the investigations, though in SH they're all official police, while just self-proclaimed detectives in TToS.
There is a little more bromance/brotherhood in SH comparatively, though both do not hold this focus.
In SH, its the ML who strongly pursues a cold case, while its the FL in TToS.

In both dramas, the ML and FL start off on the wrong foot, but gradually understand and care for each other through the drama. Both FLs also work towards empowering women to become female officials, althought it is not the main focus in Melody of Golden Age.
Both dramas have the trope where the female lead can look into others' memories, and makes a contract with the male lead to help him find past memories that were lost due to an accident/trauma.
The other aspects of the drama are different though, including the fact that one is in modern times and the other in ancient times.
