Young Blood (2019)

Both have a likeable gang of characters solving cases.

Young blood's cases are more engaging and consequential whereas MLC's feel more like props. MLC is a higher budget production, though YB is arguably better in most areas such as plot, characterization, and acting.

For non-native speakers, MLC may be more accessible and an easier breezier watch.

The fact that there are five main characters who obviohsly have very different behaviours but work together to solve cases in the Kingdom.

- Both are detective / solve cases genres. Though set in different eras, the logic of the plots are well thought through with watertight logic
- Team that started from a group of strangers with complementary strengths and clear role
- The core team learns to trust and rely on each other over time
- Yuan Zhong Xin from Young Blood and Shi Jian from Record of Strange Things are same type of people. They are the smart Alecs who cares about their comrades way more than they let on through the course of the story

About a group of talented youths with different backgrounds who end up meeting in a special school and then forming a clique, they then go through various challenges

Same screenwriter, Wang Juan

Only difference is DC has the fantasy element whilst YB does not.

it is the prequel of young blood 2
it has same cast with continuation of the story which was left cliffhanger in young blood

Same director gave the two dramas a similar visual feeling. Young actors and solving cases is also what makes both dramas enjoyable for similar target group.

If you like YZX's character, then you may like The Dark Lord as the main lead (YXT), has a similar character to YZX in Young Blood.
- Both YZX and YXT are intelligent, cunning, likes to make trouble and hilarious.
- Young Blood is more on martial arts and Wuxia whereas The Dark Lord is based on male lead being a government official.
-Both have a bit of romance.
- Both are really funny and have awesome SML. SML in The Dark Lord is extremely funny (Luo Da Heng)

Although the storyline is completely different, I personally think that YZX in Young Blood and JXY in Handsome Siblings have quite a similar character. Both are smart, cunning and loves to joke around; thus always mistaken for always lying and not being to fully trust them. They also like to solve problems if it arouses their interests and likes to make trouble. Both shows includes fighting scenes but Handsome Siblings is based on Jianghu whereas Young Blood focuses more on solving cases, helping the country and the people and has politics involved. Both stories have romance.

- Similarly there is also a special corps used for investigation on the City and governing people.
- Uncooperative members are to bond over time and work as a group.
- Luoyang uses come light heartedness scenes from time to time whereas Young Blood is very enjoyable with its cues for laughable scenes whilst being able to incorporate investigations logically and seriously.
- No fillers!

A story that takes place during turbulent times when the Northern Song and Western Xia were at war. Six young individuals undergo training to become spies in order to defend their country.

During the reign of Emperor Ren Zong of Song, the prosperous glimmer of Northern Song is clouded by looming danger. Spies have infiltrated the capital to gather intelligence and weaken the political clout of the imperial family. In order to end the war, a group of young heroes undergo rigorous selection and training.

-Similar Feels

-Both male leads are very intelligent
-Both female leads are great fighters and strong individuals
-Interesting side characters + their friendship + cute bromance/girlmance

-Both totally recommended

Both have an intelligent bunch of main characters solving mysteries with a side of romance. Young Blood is also set in ancient China and is about a group of 6 teens who come together and build strong friendships alongside fighting evil.
Bonus cute daughter Su Xiao Tong is also in Young Blood

I recommend this both drama because , Male lead and Female lead
try to solve problem
In one drama explosion and another student murder/suicide

The scriptwriter for Joy of Life also created and partially wrote Young Blood. The humour and amount of plot twists are rather similar, both dramas also have minor supporting characters that are so adorable that end up being popular with the audience.

Group of youngsters get together in order to solve mysteries. In YB they are 6 while in MH have 5. Adventurous series in costume that worth watching. Satisfactory romance in both. Young Blood's end is open, though .
Stong, wise and competent female leads
