=> Both dramas depict various murder cases throughout the episodes

Dramas have similar premise. A person with a special syndrome who has very high IQ enters into the professional world. The special doctor/lawyer also seems to have more compassion/humanity for people than those around him/her who care more for worldly honor than an individual's dignity/personal choices (the last sentence is quite hard to explain but the people who watched both shows will understand what I mean).
There are other similarities aside from the basic plot/story. Both shows got a lot of praises while airing, raising the profile of their respective actors who played the autistic character more. Good Doctor received a lot of awards and there's a large probability Extraordinary Attorney Woo might receive many awards too. The US also decided to have a remake of both shows.

Same story. Philippine version is based on Korean version of the drama. Lee Joon Gi and Moon Chae Won are topnotch actors. those who will watch the Philippine version must definitely watch the Korean one because of their actors.

Both are about a newly found dynasty. There is this king (the founder of the dynasty) with many sons. The main character in both dramas is the son of the king who is not the crown prince but is talented yet ruthless enough to become king. Both are morally grey characters. Both loved a woman but married someone else because the woman they loved is ineligible to become empress. Some of the brothers of the main character were also killed by the main character before they became king.
In addition both are SBS dramas that aired within a few months of each other. Both also have lots of martial (though in Six Flying Dragons, the male lead does martial arts but the best martial arts belong to the other characters as opposed to Moon Lovers where the male lead has the best martial arts skills).

=> both shows are written by the same writers. (people have to take note that Tree with Deep Roots was partly based on a novel but Six Flying Dragons is written by the drama writers only, but remember both dramas are based on history too).
=> Six Flying Dragons is the prequel to Tree with Deep Roots. For Tree with Deep Roots fans: you can find in Six Flying Dragons the beginnings of Joseon Dynasty, how Lee Bang Won became a ruthless King and the background of characters like Muhyul and Lee Bang Ji. For Six Flying Dragons fans,Tree with Deep Roots is about how Lee Bang Won's son became a great king, also a continuation of the fate of characters like Muhyul, Lee Bang Ji and even the nephew of Jeong Do Jeon.

Now that season 2 is confirmed with new actors, I'm sure fans of the replacements will watch season 2 for them. it is absolutely necessary you watch season 1 because it is quite a complicated world and the worldbuilding is in season 1. I also hope for some appreciation for the efforts of the season 1 cast (I'm saying this seeing how most people underestimated Arthdal drama when it was airing).
Now, if you notice the drama, it is presented in many titles. If you wonder why is that, the season 1 of the drama is divided into three parts. But all three parts comprised of season 1. This particular part here is part 3.
I also recommend season 2 for season 1 fans. Please watch the drama even with the cast change.

Male and female lead are childhood lovers. Tragic events such as the death of the male lead's relative caused the children to drift apart. The death of male lead's relative is caused by the female lead's relative. They meet again as adults and the male lead now possesses a new identity as part of his revenge against the female lead's relative. The difference though is that the leads in Time Between Dog and Wolf actually met as adults after a long separation with the female lead knowing male lead's real identity before he suddenly had to disappear again and do his revenge, while we go straight to the male lead disguising himself in Shark when he reunited with the female lead after many years.

=> The two dramas show the beginning (6 Flying Dragons) and end of the Joseon Dynasty (Mr Sunshine)
=> There is the impossible romance of the leads of both dramas due to them having different statuses.
=> The main cast has a group of 5-6 people. They are different from each other (some are born in high status, some low) but what they have in common is they are strong characters and stick to their principles
=> Both feature some martial artists as among the 5 or 6 main characters but none of them are the top male leads (Lee Bang Ji and Muhyul in 6 Flying Dragons vs Gu Dong Mae of Mr Sunshine)
=> Fans of Byun Yo Han from Mr Sunshine are especially recommended to watch 6 Flying Dragons, you will be surprised at how he's good in martial arts which he unfortunately didn't get to show in Mr Sunshine.

=> Both Hyun Bin dramas that are romance comedies where he has sizzling romance with the female leads
=> Hyun Bin's parents want him to marry someone else in both dramas
=> The female lead actresses in both dramas are two of the most successful actresses in Kdramaland , both having won Baeksang awards in both dramas and films, so good acting is indeed guaranteed in both shows
=> Both dramas were extremely popular after airing, to the point where Hyun Bin was shipped so hard to both female leads immediately after both dramas aired
Interesting Trivia about the two female leads connected to the two dramas:
1. Ha Ji Won (Secret Garden female lead) also played a North Korean person in love with a South Korean like Hyun Bin, in her drama King 2 Hearts
2. Son Ye Jin has a cameo in the last episode of Secret Garden

=> First episode shows male lead fighting another soldier

=>The second female lead and male lead are not in love with each other, but their parents want them to marry each other
=> Male lead often protects the female lead

=> Both dramas feature North Korea (this is obvious for CLOY, but the male lead in DOTS also did have some missions in North Korea)
=> Both dramas are big hits and extremely popular when aired
Interesting Trivia (please don't hate me for adding this, I don't mean any harm):
