Subete ga F ni Naru (2014)

-Male lead and smart female lead.
-Both have romance but it is much less in Subete ga F ni Naru
-They both are solving murder cases.
-Both have deep and dark plot.

Both dramas are based off of books and both dramas feature two very smart university professors solving crimes with a female partner. The only difference is that the female partner in Galileo is a detective and in Subete ga F it she is a student.

Both are about a smart professor solving mysteries. Both are based on famous mystery novels................................................

-Male lead and smart female lead.
-Both have romance but it is much less in Subete ga F ni Naru
-They both are solving murder cases.
-Both have deep and dark plot.

Both are under the theme of investigation and crime. They both have locked room mysteries. Character development seem to be on equal balance within both shows. Subete characters are obsessed with answers where as Kagi is obsessed with locks. Both have interesting crimes.

Although from two different countries, the feel is much the same; both crime mysteries that involve geniuses and a hint of romance. God's Quiz is more medical and main character mystery based, but they both have that amazing plot intrigue and touch of romance (though Subete ga F ni naru's romance feels a bit deeper over the course of the show). If you liked one you'll def. like the other :)
