Like Kusuriya no Hitorigoto, Akatsuki no Yona is set in an ancient kingdom. Both shows have romance tropes between the two main characters, however the social status of the characters are flipped seeing that Yona is a princess while Maomao is a lady in waiting and Hak is a soldier and Jinshi is a eunuch. If you enjoy subtle romance in historical anime with a strong female lead, these two shows go hand in hand.
Like the above ones mentioned they're both shoujos set in an ancient kingdom more specifically Akatsuki no Yona is set in Ancient Korea during it's Three Kingdoms Period (it is not set in Ancient China like one recommendation mentions wanted to clear that up) while Kusuriya no Hitorigoto doesn't seem to be set in one specific time period. Maomao for example is wearing attire straight from the Ming Dynasty whereas someone like Lishu is wearing Tang Dynasty attire. Both often related to politics and both share similar themes although the protaganists are quite different. If you want a similar vibe and an anime set in

Of all the anime I've watched over the years, I had never encountered any anime that gave me the same feel as Akatsuki no Yona since it ended, and yet here we are! Akatsuki no Yona is also set in ancient China and it really has the same setting/atmosphere and visuals. While Akatsuki no Yona has a plot revolving around treason, it's actually more based on adventure and magical powers. It's a really powerful story with great characters, so if you like Kusuriya no Hitorigoto but haven't seen Akatsuki no Yona yet, I highly recommend you watch this classic right now!
