In both dramas, one of the leads (who is straight) has a very close relationship with a friend of the same gender, which creates a misunderstanding that the lead in question is gay. That lead then gets put in a position where they are suffering harsh consequences from getting on the wrong side of idol fans. The leads end up in a fake dating arrangement to protect the lead in question from this situation.
In both dramas: (1) the leads are relatively competent and successful in their careers; (2) the ML's have a certain celebrity status (a famous painter vs. a famous actor); (3) the ML's each have emotional trauma and complexes (which are at least partly touch-based) that impact their careers, thanks to the actions of certain women from their past (e.g., their moms); (4) there is something about the FL (her sexual history or personal interests) that society would judge harshly but that the ML doesn't judge or hold against her; (5) the leads start off on the wrong foot and misjudge each other, but soon get past that and develop strong chemistry; and (6) both leads have people around them who have romantic interest in them - but it's totally one-sided.
