Gong HyoJin's amazing acting takes on a different, and slightly less 'intelligent' role in The Master's Sun - but pulls it off as flawlessly as she did her eccentric and complex character in It's OK, That's Love.
Both dramas have a lead character (Joong Won in The Master's Sun, Hae Soo in It's OK, That's Love) that sees themselves as a little bit superior and doesn't want to have much to do with the second lead initially, but turns into a comedic and cheeky relationship.
Both have psychological elements to them which can be very sad. Without giving too much away, a departing of a certain soul in TMS reminded me of a soul the metaphorically leaves in IOTL). They also deal with healing wounds and fixing problems of the past.
Both are funny and feel-good dramas.
TMS is a little more slow-paced but has a more complex plot; IOTL has more side-plots, a less complex main story but is more high-intensity and high-emotion.

Both dramas center around characters with mental illnesses, undergoing professional treatment and personal care. The characters fall in love, wrestle with guilt, and mend strained relationships with family members. Although the specific disorders are very different, the dynamic between the ML and FL of "We're Not Trash" very much resembles the dynamic between the second couple of "It's Okay, That's Love."
Both dramas deal with mental health issues. The female lead of the drama is also the titular Psychologist who is also responsible in dealing with different patients with different Mental disorder. The Male lead of the drama is a novelist but at the same time co hosted a radio show. Both dramas, Male lead helped cope up the female lead's issues of their health when it comes to anxiety, depression and heartbreak. Same goes with the female lead act as a friend, lover and a doctor to ML.
Both dramas has some similarities when it comes to themes, romance, healing, mental health and many more.

Both dramas center around a Male Lead who is extremely selfless towards those he cares about, putting his own needs at less importance than the needs and dreams of his family and love interest. Male lead's attitude towards the female lead is also very similar from start to finish. There's also a heightened focus on the leads and their relationship with their found families around them.
The romantic leads of both of these dramas just came out of relationships that ended due to the infidelity of their partners. Due to circumstances, the leads wind up cohabitating in a house together. Both dramas also focus on the dynamics between the leads and their coworkers/friends, life and relationship lessons, conversations about marriage and life plans, and the professional backdrop of the setting.
At first, they may seem different: Love O2O, being focused on gaming and college life while It's Okay, That's Love, being more focused on psychology or healing.
However, after watching both of these great dramas, I'd say they somehow share a similar vibe, which may be because they both have:
-natural yet off the charts chemistry between the leads
-strong and mature relationship, where both sides support, respect, and trust the other person through thick or thin
-skinship and kissing scenes (or fluffy moments, in general) enough to make you root for the main couple (although IOTL is a lot better and intense on this one)
-admirable character and/or couple development (the lead/s definitely exhibit growth throughout the episodes which further helped strengthen their relationship)
-happy and satisfying ending
*there are probably more similarities, but these are all I could think of right now.

It's my second recommendation for Age of Youth as I was literally amazed, felt so good watching it.
Both have super awesome Soundtracks ( with foriegn songs).
Both have amazing performances from the actors and actress.
The storyline from both drama evolve friendship, romance mixed with some good comedy. Aside from that they are unique and different from each other in term of overall plot.
Both of these Masterpieces gets 10/10 from me. (Gladly)
Enjoy your watch :)
