Both are crime focussed dramas and built in the same way - this meaning you go case by case through the series. Both male leads are quite cold but do have their charisma. However, love me if you dare shows a lot more of the personal lives of our investigators and does have a romantic love line that's more present than the one in the ten deadly sins.
Similarities:
- Both have a serial killer on the loose that takes an interest in the main male lead.
- Both are set in the world of crime.
- Both possess the genres of romance and comedy (and are clearly showing it).
- Both have a romance where the main male lead is above the main girl (careerwise) --> In Suspicious partner she's his employee and in Love me if you dare she's his secretary/assistant.
- Both male leads have an interesting personality and are smart.
- Both male leads have high positions (careerwise).
- Both excel in their field of work (one as a profiler and one as a prosecutor/lawyer).
- Both male leads have experienced trauma in their past and are still suffering from it in the present.
- Both female leads have an interesting personality and are also smart.
- Both deeply engages in a complicated investigation of the serial killer that goes beyond a few episodes.
- Both have complex characters with their own internal battles.
- Both have multiple cases, regarding criminal investigations that have nothing to do with the serial killer but are separate cases.
Differences:
- One is set in the world of the police while the other is set in the world of lawyers.
- One is produced in China while the other in South Korea.
- Suspicious Partner has 40 episodes while Love me if you dare only has 24 episodes.

LMIYD isn't medical but I think they are similar in the fact that the male leads are very talented in what they do. In Doctor John the male lead is a talented doctor who was wronged in the past. In LMIYD the male lead is a skilled criminal phycologist, he is well known and one of the best in his field. Similarly to in Doctor John, people find him suspicious at first and think he's a bad person, but with the help of the female lead (that they slowly fall in love with), they are accepted and people realise their skill in their field. The female leads also become able to accept their tragic pasts, whilst falling deeply in love with the troubled male lead.
I highly recommend both dramas. They are both very similar, just one is based on medical situations and the other, criminal situations :)
