The characters Feng Xin'er (Northern Liang) and Li Weiyang (Northern Wei) were heavily inspired by the experiences of Northern Wei's Empress Dowager Feng (born in Northern Yan) and Northern Liang's princess (Juqu clan).

Fifteen years ago, a young girl was kidnapped on the way from school, and Park Hae Yeong, who was an elementary school student at that time, witnessed the crime. A few days later, the girl was found dead, and the police were not able to find the culprit. As time went by, Hae Yeong started distrusting the police. Fifteen years later, Hae Yeong is now a police officer and criminal profiler. One day, he finds a walkie-talkie that allows him to get in contact with Detective Lee Jae Han who is in the past. Police officers Hae Yeong, Jae Han, and Cha Soo Hyun then set out on a journey to solve cold cases.

The overall vibes where pretty similar with the characters don't initially understand the supernatural rules. Then they encounter the phenomenon themselves and discover that the legend wasn't just a story. To be more specific

With Gonjiam, for example, the livestream setup makes you constantly wonder whether something is being staged. The characters themselves are partly creating fake scares, so when genuinely impossible things start happening, the distinction between performance and reality collapses.

With Haunted Mountains: The Yellow Taboo gets a similar effect through its legend and supernatural encounters. You initially have that feeling of “is this just a story?”, but the further the characters get into it, the more real it becomes.

Short korean boys love dramas taking place in high school about two guys who have known each other and have been friends since forever navigating and confronting love and feelings as a third person comes to threaten what they have
moments of jealousy and anger
Summertime seems to be alot darker than WYEL, though, and feature more ... kisses etc

Both have a love story between the teacher and the student that somehow still doesn't look like grooming. And in general cinematography is very beautiful

Nakagima Kento is ML in both. Totally different topics but the same type of storytelling aka an one case per episodes and helping people. They both are cozy for me

Both are funny, yet clever, and touch on harder-hitting topics.
Most people also loved the humour in Pull Strings, and will definitely appreciate the humour in Filter

Both BL series feature a soulmate whose presence allows a character who experiences the world in monochrome to see colors, making color a visual representation of their destined connection (Every You, Every Me – episode 1 storyline). Both stories explore themes of fate, connection, and falling in love after the characters discover their soulmate.

both are BLs
they have the similar concept about colors

i think the Thai series is going to be much better than this one (cz it is going to air like 7 yrs later, so ofc a lot has changed.. )
