They both revolve around food connecting people to their feelings as well as each other. Both female leads share a troublesome childhood which affected them in different ways. Chocolate is a bit more melo and slow paced compared to Eccentric Chef Moon, however both dramas seem to have a healing type of vibe to them.
They are both dramas revolving a career-minded FL who finds peace in the quiet of rural Korea.
The stories are quite different, but both shows have the addition of a makjang revenge plot which is a bit detrimental. This is worse (in my opinion) in Eccentric! Chef Moon. My Husband Oh Jak Doo is a bit more consistent with its premise, but still there are some makjangish elements especially in the second half.

In both drama one of our mcs decides to suddenly move to the countryside and it shows the process of finding healing, joy and love in life. Both drama focus on showing the peaceful side of living in the countryside and its people and how stepping out of your comfort zone is sometimes a very good thing.
