Both have detective work and romance. I would say Under the Power is more focused on the detective work whereas Maiden Holmes is more fluffy and focuses more on the romance. Both are very good shows!

I would say the main characters are fairly simular though the FL in UTP seems like a cry baby at times. It also has the investigation element since they try to solve cases together

Never made a recommendation before, but I feel like you would like Under the power if you like the good vibes the leads in love like the galaxy give. We can' t compare budgets, but the story and leads are equally captivating. What made me get over Under the power was love like the galaxy!

Both dramas are about seeking justice for crimes. Both have wuxia and a lot of action. Both have a greater evil the heroes are fighting against.

love - hate relationship between the 2 main characters but they both ended up falling in love with each other. the break ups happened to protect the female leads, but both ended u[ together in the end

Similarly, a ML who works for the government and tortures criminals, and a strong, independent FL who is a great support to her peers. The couple also have mutual respect for each other. The trajectory of A Dream of Splendor also is heading in the same direction.

Similarities:
-Both are plot heavy.
-Both leads are weary of each other at first.
-Lots of conspiracies and palace politics in both.
-Comedy and romance do make appearances.
-Both have mysteries to solve and involve the Embroidered Uniform Guards.

The two shows are similar in that they share the similar tag lines of right vs. wrong. And feud between families and then there is the story of the how love gets caught in between and then becomes free at the end.

- both MLs are smart and useful
-they are protecting each other
-slow paced of romance
-the FL is shameless
-the ML fall for FL first
-ML does everything for FL without her knowing
-anti cliche

Both has detective factors as one of the main point. The plots are well structured and some eps are quite suspenseful. Both have great MLs with phenomenal acting. FLs in these also bear great heroine characteristics, i.e. strong-minded, witty smart, good-natured, and soft-hearted.
While Under the Power has much brighter mood and ending, Luoyang is unmatched in some other aspects and also humanistically meaningful.

both are Ancient detective shows to do with murder cases. they pretty much start the same way investigating cases and solving mysterious deaths. under the power deals more with the political side whereas the detective deals more with the investigation and autopsy part.

Both have strong and smart female leads who are fighting against the social norm for women. They are both young as well, both female leads grow before your eyes as their stories unravel. They also mask their genders, Chang Ge more-so than Jin Xia. The romance for both is slow-burn and based on mutual respect and all couplings go through a good deal of hardships together. You also get to watch as the casts both mature over time, character growth is prominent in both dramas.

Also, since the recommender is an Art Historian, the costuming is absolutely breath-taking in both dramas. You will not see the cast wear the same 2 pieces of clothing all throughout the drama. (Embroidered Guards in Under the Power wear an AMAZING set of uniforms! The embroidery is absolutely gorgeous.)
