They aren't that similar, but they both have an episodic or short arc format where the focus is on the plight of some side character. The story of the side character gets wrapped up and you feel good at the end (or you are crying). They both have MCs who outwardly show some unheroic character flaws like greed, minor abuse, but are deep down good people. Gintama is a lot more goofy while Bai Yao Pu is very serious. The side characters of Gintama mostly stick around in future arcs but mostly disappear in Bai Yao Pu.
