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.

The male lead is a cold rich guy who finds himself drawn to a poor girl who doesn't want anything from him. He tries to give her things that other girls would swoon over and when she declines the gifts he is left confused and even more interested in her than before.
Oh and his family disapproves and he ignores them. Also the girl, despite being skittish and a bit strange seems to be well liked by those who get to know her or watch her closely.
There are more similarities but they are in Hanadan season 2.

(From my recommendation for Hanadan Season 1)

(Now how specifics about similarities to Hanadan 2)
The male lead loses his memory starting from the time he met the female lead due to an accident. His family tries to keep him from hearing about the girl and interacting with her but so far that's not working out well (I haven't finished the series yet). Oh and it is revealed that someone very close the the guy betrayed him and from that he has to overcome deep scars.

Both of these dramas are similar. Due to an accident or an incident, the protagonist cursed to see or hear ghosts. The one time when he/she was free of ghost disturbance is being close (near vicinity) to a companion whose aura dispels ghosts. The time spent being near each other allows them to get acquainted and develop feelings for each other.
One of the main leads has a very deep and disturbing issue with touching. When he discover the other- he/she turns to be the only other person in the world (known to him) whom he/she could touch. They have many scenes in which one of the leads uses the other one as a shield agains the world.. but in both dramas the genders are reversed and the reason the touch is so dangerous for the person is different also.
In both the male lead is an arrogant CEO. His secretary is somebody he could always depend on (but his story is never displayed really).
