Circle of Love (2023)

What they have in common:
Male leads in love with the same woman.
Multiple revenge plots: the governor, the female lead and the villain male lead.
Power struggle for the Governor position.
Female lead with amnesia and forgotten identity.
Rape, pregnancy and forced abortion.
Sad ending.

Both are set in the Republican era and have a similar premise with characters that have a ambivalent relationship dynamic.

- The ML is cruel to the FL at first but falls in love later.
- They both get married.
- Republican Military setting

Both are mini dramas with the same actor as the ML, in which the FL is betrayed and returns for revenge against the ML with the two falling into a love/hate relationship. Both are historical, although set in different eras.

Both chinese republican era dramas with Li Jiu Lin.
Other similarities:
- memory loss
- misunderstandings
- annoying SFL
- SML wants to kill ML all the time

Both are Republican Era mini dramas in which the FL wrongfully blames the ML for destroying her family and enters his house for revenge where the MLs treats her coldly or cruelly.

Both ares stories of a love-hate relationship wherein the man lied to her about his identity and is framed into being guilty of murdering her family, and though she hates him she can't get rid of her feelings for him.

Both are republican era love stories with mean/badass MLs and lots of steamy scenes.

CR is a full length drama while CoL is a mini-series.
ML in CR is from the mafia, ML from CoL is governer of the city.
Both are revenge based where the FL believes the ML killed her fam (comes later in CR).

When I saw the preview of Circle of Love, I automatically thought of False Face and True Feelings. They are in the same time period and are both short series with hot male leads. The differance is just that one of them has a sad ending.

Kinda similar plot and whole story
ML is the biggest red flag, do anything to keep the girl
The ML killed the family members of the FL but deeply falls in love with FL, In circle of love the FL and ML have a tragic ending but this time i think they will have happy ending and the ML is more vicious than circle of love here.

It’s a slap-and-kiss drama with a monster for a ML. Even still, their chemistry is titillating. You feel appalled, but keep watching anyway. Even though it’s rough, it’s toned down and softer.

Ye Qing Lan, the only daughter of the second branch of the Ye family, was framed by the former eldest young master of the Mu family. Then she becomes an unwilling bride to wash away bad luck, which ensues in revenge. From now on, Ye Qing Lan has to fight green tea bitches, scumbags and an evil mother-in-law.

the male leads have the same vibe, both cold and the female leads are likeable, if you like one you will like the other

Some small spoilers ahead...

Circle of Love and Goodby my princess are similar in the following ways:
1. Unapologetically toxic male lead
2. Female lead who starts out innocent
3. Second male lead who is deceitful

- antihero ML;
- ML keeps FL captive;
- toxic relationship;
- possessive ML;
- tyrant-type ML who has a high position
