The Director Who Buys me Dinner (2022)

Both series conceptualize love between two souls of a past life by way of reincarnation in the form of a boss-employee power dynamic in a workplace setting. Whereas the novelist from First Love, Again initially rejects his soulmate in this lifetime because his employee-the editor-is a man, the director from The Director Who Buys Me Dinner insists that he and his secretary immediately start dating in this lifetime upon first meeting each other. At the beginning of both series, the novelist and the director (the bosses) both have active memories of their respective soulmates of a prior life, in stark contrast to the editor and the secretary (the employees) who must revive their lost memories as the two series progress.

-at a certain point the situation switches, similar to here, and the other lead has to do what the other party did (make him fall in love)

Both are about the ML who has lived for hundreds of years searching for the "love" or "bride" who can lift his curse. Both have the theme of reincarnation and both MLs are somewhat similar in personality.

Boss and Employee relationship drama ,remarkable story that touches heart.
It shows very good acting skills and a nice chemistry between the (very cute) leading actors.

both Korean BL mini series
while The Director who buys me dinner only is has flash backs to historical settings Nobleman Ryu’s Wedding only takes place in the Joseon period.

Both BL dramas include the theme of fated love from a past life and other mysterious elements - at least one of the main characters is not a regular human.

Supernaturally long living characters wait for the reincarnation of their long lost love who sacrificed themselves to save them. Once found, they begin love-hate relationships with the reincarnation because it is a must to lift a curse. They will literally die from the curse if they don't. A lot of long stares and awkward moments. Both are BLs.
