Very similar restaurant and food theme, there's also romance and characters involved in a love triangle.
"Wok of Love" and "Temperature of Love" are both South Korean television dramas, but they differ in their primary themes and settings.
"Wok of Love" (also known as "Greasy Melo") revolves around the lives of three characters who have experienced failures in their respective careers. The story unfolds in a neighborhood Chinese restaurant, where the characters find solace, friendship, and love amidst the challenges they face.
On the other hand, "Temperature of Love" focuses on the journey of a screenwriter and a chef who initially meet in an online community. The drama explores the ups and downs of their relationship as they navigate the complexities of their careers and personal lives.
While both dramas involve themes of love, relationships, and career struggles, "Wok of Love" places a stronger emphasis on the culinary aspect, set in a Chinese restaurant, whereas "Temperature of Love" delves more into the world of writing and culinary arts with a different narrative structure.
Drama Similarities

Romantic Themes: Both dramas are centered around romantic relationships and explore the challenges, ups, and downs that couples face in their journey towards love.

Friendship and Supportive Characters: Both dramas feature a cast of supporting characters who play important roles in the lives of the main characters. These characters provide support, friendship, and sometimes comic relief.

1. They both take place for the most part in the kitchen.
2. The ML are both skillful Chefs that can be both arrogant and adorable.
3. FL end up working for the ML in their restaurant (and learning from him).
4. In both, the relationship between the lead starts off as a bit of love and hate; with the ML being very demanding in the kitchen and have little patience. As the show progresses and the ML becomes aware of his feeling, he becomes more patient and gentle with the FL.
5. They both have comedy, though Oh My Ghostess has a lot more.
6. There's a love triangle in both shows.
Big differences:
1. Oh My Ghostess has a supernatural element to it (having two main female leads pursuing the male lead, though one is a ghost). The show also has a crime element to it that gains strenght during the second half.

The series will take place in a Chinese restaurant. Chef Seo Poong, a chef who goes from being a star chef one day to the cook at a failing neighborhood Chinese restaurant the next. Dan Sae Woo, meaning “sweet shrimp”, lives a life of privilege and leisure—she accepted no gifts on her wedding day because her father gave her a check for 300 million won, and she enjoys horseback riding and fencing. Her greatest moment in life happens to coincide with a random bowl of jajangmyun, which leads her to undergo a big change and begin a new life.
1) Female leads are both a bit unconventional, fun and very lovable. They aren't afraid to voice their thoughts.
2) Leads' relationship starts on the wrong foot, but they become friendly soon after.
3) Second male lead in both are very gentle and caring towards the FL. They come into the FL's life almost like a knight in shining armor.
4) MLs' are a bit arrogant but also very good at their craft. They do have an adorably childish side that makes it fun to watch them.
5) There's a love triangle in both, but it's more drawn out in The Greatest Love, with the FL being more indicisive.

Both dramas have the running of a restaurant as their focal point and they have a very similar range of characters: an eccentric and strange but very kind owner, an arrogant and strict but very talented chef and a female protagonist who finds herself involved in the management of the restaurant. Both show the difficulties that arise in this kind of drama such as rival businesses, financial struggles and parents that are not very supportive.
The overall feel is very similar in both series. Jealousy Incarnate has better (or more developed) support characters but Wok of Love has more charismatic leads. Here's a list of other, more specific, similarities:
1. A love triangle takes part during a good chunk of the story (it gets resolved faster in Wok of Love).
2. FL is inspired by ML to try something new (out of their confort zone).
3. ML becomes the FL's mentor, begrudgingly at first but they grow to like their role.
4. Second male lead is sweet and helpful towards the FL from the start.
5. ML and FL find common ground in undergoing and sharing a similar experience.
6. The FL is funny, charismatic and a bit unconventional (which is very refreshing). They are also active in pursuing the ML.
7. ML and 2ML share a strong friendship.

Both have a very strong 2ML who makes the show, and their backstories are shown more than that of the MLs’.
Both stories of business success and of starting from scratch.
Both have an FL confused and ambiguous, and the 2ML being much more caring/protective than the ML.
Watch both for the second leads!

Both are stories of revenge with competition of two restaurants: one already very famous and influent, but with problems caused by CEO's incompetent and spoiled son; the other new that is a mixture of passion, talent and newbies who don't have anything to do with cuisine, but who learned a lot and became very skilled. In both the protagonists have big age gap.
The dramas give off a similar vibe especially because the couples have a similar type of relationship. The female leads also have similar personalities (the one from wok of love is more extroverted tho and the one from my secret romance is a bit more shy and def more naive). I am not that great at analysing but the male leads also have a few similarities: they both get annoyed easily, lowkey have anger issues and are both (at some point) gentlemen for their FL.
