Both dramas share the same genres: romance & semi-fantasy
The FLs in both dramas have a special ability that causes them to get involved with the respective male leads. KSS is more of a romance drama though and doesn't include a mystery arc

If you like My Lovely Liar, then I recommend He is Psychometric. It has a similar premise and storyline, but with much more fun characters, in my opinion. Both leads here have power to know facts related to people and the couple eventually working together solving one big mystery and the big question of who's done that? The reveal is also better in He's Psychometric.
The main character of the drama has supernatural power to know facts related to people. But they cannot read / know the only one person, which is a mystery in itself.
Similarities:
1. Leads with a special power that gives them insight into other people.
2. A main part of both plots is finding out the truth behind a past crime.
3. Tough, cynical FL and a soft, gentle ML where FL stands up for and protects ML.
4. Lots of cute domestic slice of life moments, IHVY is cohabitation and MLL is neighbors.
5. Emphasis on the importance on truth and lies in relationships.
The story in IHYV is a more melo, faster paced plot with higher stakes, but it's a sweet romance about the transformative power of truly loving and always supporting someone. MLL is cute but it's much slower in pace and the story falls apart in the second half, you have to hang in there for the romance.

In Pinocchio, some people get 'Pinocchio Syndrome' which makes them hiccup whenever they lie. The FL has this issue and thus can never get away with lying.
In My Lovely Liar, the FL has the ability to catch lies.

Both dramas are a bit “supernatural”, and in a way both drama leads “trust” and “believe” the other lead because of their power
Both have that “mystery stalker” threat that the whole town worries about
Plus both have the cop second lead

Both of them have a male lead with trauma from a past relationship. In A Boss and a Babe, Cher's girlfriend had been abused by her dad and then killed herself because of it. In My Lovely Liar, Do Ha's girlfriend had been in a very similar situation. (won't give more information because of spoilers)
Their new partners help them get through those tough memories and feelings of guilt for being "unable to save them".
