Both are set in law school and portrays the life of a law student. I think the events in Law School is much more dramatic as in How to Get Away with Murder but Bar Boys dwells more on the life as a student, the hardship on getting that degree. As a med student, I relate to the hardships in Bar Boys.
Both reveals how a person lived his life and his motives before his death. Both have characters that "bridges" the message of the dead to the departed. In Sell Your Haunted House, JiAh, as an exorcist, has the power to communicate with the ghost meanwhile in Move to Heaven, Geu Reu who has Asperger's with the help of the belongings of the dead, connects the dots.
These are similar slice of life dramas since the characters in these seemed to have "failed" in their passion and is planning to do other things since things are not working out. They differ in that in Ore no Hanashi wa Nagai, he has already quit but in Konto ga Hajimaru, they are just about to. I also like the relationships formed and made stronger in both of these dramas.
EDIT: Wow, just discovered that the screenwriter for both is the same person! I think he also improved since my rating for ONHWN is 9 but 10 for KGH.

The stories are different but both were released in the same year I watched this and it had the same vibe and feeling it left after watching until the end. If you like the twists from one, you'll 'probably' like the other .
Both are based from a novel by Fumie Kondo. Judging from the first few episodes of both dramas, they are similar with some details. Aside from the mystery thriller vibe from both, a high school backstory is a common ground. In addition, the female protagonists are both writers. In Influence, Oikawa Tomomi is a novelist while Makabe Suzune is a scriptwriter.
Although they are different in terms of the length and genre, both shows falls in marriage. In Once Again, there are a lot of couples that were divorced but the main couple's cause of their fallout is similar to the main couple in VIP. I highly recommend both!
From the first episode of The Penthouse alone, I can already make parallels. Rich families living in an exclusive property, two students who are competing for one goal, a highly-esteemed teacher, and so on.
Kaguya, Miyuki and Reiko won't stand being the one who confesses their feelings to their love ones. Kaguya and Reiko are both rich heroines who are doing extreme measures to be with their crush. Reiko is not that subtle compared to Kaguya, though. I love Love is War better because Miyuki is as prideful as the female lead, it simply makes it better.
It only has a common theme of domestic abuse and other controversial topics. To save the victims, the main characters have gone overboard with their measures, for Love in Sadness— medical malpractice while Under your bed— (more) obssessive stalking.
They have different stories and perspectives. In the drama, it is like a third person point of view, while the movie is more first person POV.

Aside from having Nagano Mei in both, Makoto (Ryo Ryusei) reminds me of Teiichi (Suda Masaki) as a student leader while Matsubara reminds me of Dan (Takeuchi Ryoma).
They have different plots but the student leadership of the characters I mentioned were just similar, in my opinion.

These both have a 'serial killer' living like normal innocent people. The basement is too familiar to me when I watched Flower of Evil.
Both have that whodunit story that will make you distrust (or at least be suspicious of) every character. Although they have a different plot, you'll feel the same frustration of not knowing but you would still want the journey of how things will play out.
