The Starry Love

WDBTD and The Starry Love both remind you that even in the middle of celestial politics and demon wars, love can sneak in through the smallest, funniest cracks. Sima Jiao is centuries of fury wrapped in one dangerously pretty package, and yet Tingyan, with her lazy “I’m just here for the ride” attitude, becomes the calm he never knew he needed. In Starry Love, Youqin is the definition of stoic immortal, but all it takes is Yetan — sharp-tongued, quick-witted, and hilarious in her irreverence — to unravel him step by step. In both dramas, the women aren’t just love interests; they’re game-changers, turning almighty men into people who can laugh, sulk, stumble, and, finally, love.

The difference is in the flavor of their humor. WDBTD tempers its tragedy with Tingyan’s dry wit and her “professional slacker” energy, making even the darkest moments strangely tender. Starry Love, meanwhile, leans more into playful banter: Yetan’s sass against Youqin’s solemnity makes their romance feel lively, believable, and ridiculously endearing. One gives you the sensual slow-burn of fire meeting calm breeze, the other the sparkling clash of sun and stone — but both leave you grinning at how love can disarm even the most untouchable of men.

- the same director;
- great fantasy dramas;
- not perfect, but nice CIG;
- reincarnation;
- good-looking leads;
- nice ML;
- FL's been mistreated;
- multiple couples;
- SML (from secondary couple) is of similar type

Lovers from two different places, doomed to not succeed but they will :). Super funny and strong FL and compassionate / caring ML. Multiple characters of ML, well executed.

The Last Immortal and The Starry Love share several similarities that make them appealing to Chinese fantasy romance aka xianxia fans. Both dramas are set in magical worlds filled with gods, immortals, and celestial realms. They feature strong-willed female leads and charming male leads whose relationships grow through trials, misunderstandings, and destiny. Themes of reincarnation, forbidden love, and saving the realms are central to both stories. The visual effects, romantic tension, and emotional storylines create a similar vibe. The mix of fantasy, humor, and heartache in The Starry Love is similar to what the last immortal offers.

Both are xianxias in which the ML is a distant deity whose controlling father has an exact plan for him that's challenged when the ML falls for the FL who has a lively personality and is below his station.

The Longest Promise and The Starry Love both have

- A strong female lead who is eager to learn.
-The female lead in Starry Love is looked down by her peers, like Zhu Yan.
- Cold yet very warm and caring male lead
- In The Longest Promise, Shi Ying was 3 days with only the memories of him being a crown prince, this reminded me a lot of The Starry Love, where Yetan goes to find Shaodian Youqin's soul shards and has to make all 3 soul shards fall in love with her.
-The male lead help the female lead to learn spells.
-Overall vibe is very similar

This is a must watch after The Longest Promise!!!!!

Both are humorous at their core with intricate stroy telling and strong character development. If you want to have fun, enjoy an engaging story and fall in love with the characters, look no further away.

Both have different tribes (immortals, humans, demons). Both have a mischievous FL and a strong ML. Both have adventures on the immortal realm and on earth.

-BOTH HAVE DOMINATING ML&FL
-EXCHANGE OF MARRIAGES
-ML IS COLD TO FL IN BRGINNING BUT FALLS FOR
HER EVENTUALLY
-ML SACRIFICES HIMSELF FOR WORLD AND FL
SEARCHERS FOR HIS RESURRECTION
-IN SEARCH FOR ML FL&ML EXPERIENCE LOVE.

HOPE YOU LOVE IT ?

Though it is not demon and immortal storyline, The Romance of Tiger and Rose is also funny from the start till the end with such a simple story. If you are looking for a crack with good acting, you should try this

Both are xianxia dramas in which the FLs have a powerful identity that is regarded as evil and feared by everyone.

In both dramas, the main couple has a fairly healthy relationship.
Also, the female leads are humans*.


*okay ye tan is actually a flower spirit but for most of the show she doesn't know that until later

Even though theres only a few episoses of VoS out so far (currently 10)... its very similar yet has its own story as well.

2 female leads
2 male leads
1 female is falling for the 'good' guy
1 female is falling for the demon

VoS
They are both sisters and 9 tailed immortal foxes. Which makes them cunning and not damsels in distress.

The story is very interesting so far. There is a dragon diety who lost his powers. The king of demons has been imprisoned. Someone behind the shadows is gathering the lost power of the diety dragon to kill him..as only a dragon can kill another dragon.

The CGI is beautiful, the music is wonderful and the actors do their job well. Im very much enthralled right now!

The sisters are human princesses. Both to be married as tributes to the demon realm and heaven realm.
One sister is wild and unruly to be wed to the demon realm. The other is poised and elegant to be wed to the heaven realm.
A plot in the shadows mixes their chariots so each sister goes to the opposite realm, marrying the wrong side.
The story is beautiful, the music is amazing and the cgi is well done.
I highly recommend!

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.

In the two dramas there are some things that are similar, like in both dramas there are twins, there is enemies-to-lovers trope, there are grandparents against the main couple love, and in both dramas the love of the two couple is not smooth, but there are some complication.
