Sword and Fairy 4 bears a resemblance to Who Rules the World in more ways than one. Not only do they share the same genre, but if you're seeking a captivating storyline, Who Rules the World is worth a watch. Without giving too much away, I'll hint that the endings also share some similarities.

- Strong female badass General played by Sandra Ma (Ma Sichun).
- Romance with sizzling on-screen chemistry between the male and female lead.
- Great martial arts and choreographed battle scenes.
- Essentially a romantic comedy / martial arts ... but also has palace politics and battle for the throne for those who like this sort of thing.

amazing chemistry between the main leads. Fantasy+ historical (both are costume dramas), they both have strong female leads. There is power struggle in both dramas. In both dramas the main couple is willing to sacrifice themselves for each other. In both dramas a close family member of the fl is killed and she wants revenge. In both darmas the ml is the son of a king. In both dramas the romance is developing not that slowly but not that quickly as well.

Both dramas have a ruling father who makes his three sons compete against each other over the throne, but then doesn't understand why they are trying to kill each other. In both dramas one of the sons pretends to be dumb and weak to blindside everyone.

Both dramas were gold with leads that care for each other more and were willing to deal with their problems together. Even when they were being crazy, there were no silly misunderstandings but genuine care for each other.
Recommended by Apurva
- smart male and female lead, both leads from TROP and WRTW gives very similar vibe
- the male lead is a prince from one nation, the female lead is a princess from another nation
- revolves around the royal princes fighting for the throne, archetypes of each princes are similar
- the politics/court felt very similar in both drama
- WRTW is a more light-heart/refreshing version of TROP with more wuxia/action elements
