Read my review on "Have a crush on you" to find out better if this is a drama for your liking.
Mature relationships, realistic slice-of-life story with some depth, separation for years before getting back into each others life.
Both dramas have main character in medical field: "Have a crush on you" have most characters working in hospital, whereas "The centimeter of love" the ML is a doctor, and the FL a pilot.
Commonalities besides that are:
- FLs who are serious about their careers and quite family-oriented.
- MLs who are very career-focused and are struggling/not seeing the need for love.
- Quite slow, but realistic.
- Rather mature characters (HACOY starts off with flashbacks to younger days though).

If you don't mind a bit dated dramas, and are in the mood for some quirky, easy to watch romcom, then Full House as well as Down With Love might be the thing for you.
You know: If you just want to be entertained, and get a break from dramas that are too heavy on the plots or where they have "tried too hard". LOL

They are fairly different, but as I have been watching them both at the same time, I saw some similarities in the love story:
Both dramas have a couple who fell in love while young, where he seemed to have fallen first/hardest. Then there was a painful breakup/separation and years of no contact, before rather accidentally getting back in touch with each other.
In both dramas the FL has some emotional scars/traumas, and the ML is "green flag" and whole-heartedly in love.
Go Back Lover has more typical troupes and stereotypical scheming characters, whereas The First Frost is more believable, solemn and realistic in the character gallery and storylines.
In other words I won't really compare them, but if you like green flag MLs, falling back into love or healing love stories, both of these might suit you.

What made me think of King the Land while I was watching Love Me, Love my Voice was first of all the male leads and the PDA scenes/chemistry.
Second, it was the very obvious promotional trips, LOL.
What is different is that LMLMV is void of intrigues and scheming characters, something KTL is not.
But they are both sweet love stories.

If you are a foodie, both of these shows might please your cravings and tease your tastebuds.
My impression is that "Cupid's Kitchen" is more promotional of Chinese cuisine and culinary scene.
Both of the dramas feature male protagonists who appear rather aloof, a bit ill-tempered and strong willed, whereas the female protagonists are sweet and caring, yet skilled and strong when needed.
Other than that, the plots are different, and I would say "Dating in the kitchen" has more typical tropes and stereotypical characters. Don't let that discourage you though; it was for me a very memorable show (read my review).

Wonderful marriage, with "the best husband in the world" might not be so wonderful anyway?
Aside from that, "We All Lie" started off really good, then it became quite melodrama. As of now, I am on episode 14 of "Married", and it is not as strong melodrama-ish.

I'm only on episode 4 of "Dine with love", but it reminds me of "Dating in the kitchen" because:
- Female protagonists good at cooking, with sweet, kindhearted personalities.
- Male protagonists in the roles as CEOs who have "closed off their hearts".
Both shows also have a focus on food and the importance it can have in our lives.

In many ways these are not that similar, but for me they both left me with a lasting impression. They are both strong historical dramas, depicting love and sorrow, hardships of war, spanning over longer periods of time.
Similarities:
Debt-ridden, and desperate life situations pushes main character into contract relationship.
I would say "Marriage Contract" is heavier (emotionally) to watch than "Man in Love".

Different genre, but for me these two have some similarities when it comes to the vibe they give.
As I wrote in my review for My Sweet Mobster, it is kind of like the scriptwriters didn't take themselves too seriously, which resulted in some lighthearted humor.
Both of these shows also showcases underlying issues; for MSM it is ex-convicts' struggles to get back into society, and for KF it is widows' status during Joseon times.
