Hi, Dian Fitri.
I'm not a good japanese speaker though I am writing as much as I know
and am sure there must be more differences.
First, の(the order to read is different but that is similar to 'of' in English. 은/는 is the same thing in Korean)is used more often between nouns.
For example, a girl in Korean is
여자(yeoja: female)아이(ai: children)
But it's 女(onna: female)の(no: of)子(ko: children) in Japanese.
Second, they use passive sentences in Japanese more often.
私は母さんに掃除をさせられた。
I was told to clean up by mom.
But in Korean, it would be more natural;
엄마가 나에게 청소를 하라고 시켰다.
Mom told me to clean up.
Third, it's changing but there are some words that sound masculine such as 僕(boku: I/me) or 俺(ore: I/me). 私(watashi) means 'I/me' too but it sounds feminine. We don't have those in Korean.
And we should space words out in Korean, but in Japanese there are usually no blanks between words.
Hope it can be helpful.

I think below video might catch your attention even though it is focused on similarities in pronunciations.
