Similarly, both have great chemistry between the leads. There is murder and mystery with lots of political misuses, although 'Love is More Than a Word' is rushed towards the end due to bans so its storyline is not as fleshed out.
Both have endearing main leads with their rich and stoic counterparts who support them. Unlike 'Untamed', in 'Love is More Than a Word' the leads show their affection more openly and there is a softness that is not easily shown in many censored BL adaptations.
'Love is More Than a Word' is less sword fighting and more courtroom intrigue.

Both Ancient Detective and Love Is More Than a Word contain mysteries in a wuxia/historical Chinese setting, and a strong bromance (tho of course Ancient Detective also has a heterosexual romance and is not a censored gay romance, but there is still some good subtext imo).

'Love is More Than a Word' crawled and got an early ending so that 'Untamed' and 'Word of Honor' could run.
Both are fun costume dramas with murder, mystery and a great deal of chemistry between the leads. Great set designs and costumes.
Similarly, 'Love is More Than a Word' is daring in showing its love and affection between the leads while making you wish there were more episodes and it actually has an uncensored ending even if the storyline was cut short.

[rebirth] and [love is more than a word] are both historical dramas that feature gay romances (however the lgbtq+ genre was expressed to a lesser degree in [love is more than a word] than [rebirth] since [rebirth] had telling cut scenes)

Both are Chinese BL (Boys Love) stories in an ancient setting. One is a short web drama, the other a movie.

Even if Love is more than a world is less censored than Winter Begonia, both are historical dramas and they speak more about the two main male leading and it's about Bromance of course!

They're both historical dramas that take place in a fictional China. The main difference is that there's more intimate bromance/BL themes. I can't imagine that one could enjoy Men With Sword, but not Love is More than a Word...unless you *weren't* watching for the BL stuff, but let's be honest.

It's sort of a prequel-sequel thing with basically the same prime cast.
