Another rich people dealing with loneliness type drama, but here situation is turned over, here female lead family is superior while male lead is a mere commoner with a high IQ, the female lead is a fiercely independent cold businesswoman. Married leads.

Both series have the same energy, rich people fighting for hierarchy, but this one has no royalty. Both the male and female leads are from rich families. Same concept of marriage before love, the male lead is used by his family and suppressed, the female lead is illegitimate and prefers to be independent and away from her family’s politics but she is an introvert unlike IU’s character but quite a bold lady.

If you liked the game part of the drama I recommend you to watch The spirealm.

If you want to watch something only with main characters playing virtual games there is a chance you will like it.
There also they play games but it is more life death but also have a plot and different games with npc and main characters.

Kieta Hatsukoi and Contrast share several notable similarities in both theme and storytelling style. First of all, both focus heavily on youth, romance, and emotional self-discovery, portraying characters who struggle to understand and accept their own feelings. Misunderstandings play a central role in both narratives, often driving the plot forward and creating tension between the main characters. In each series, the protagonists initially feel confused or uncertain about their emotions, but gradually grow through their experiences and relationships. Another key similarity is the balance between comedy and emotional depth; lighthearted, humorous moments are used to soften more intense or vulnerable scenes, making the overall tone engaging and relatable. Additionally, both shows emphasize not only romantic relationships but also friendship, trust, and personal growth, which helps build more realistic and meaningful character dynamics. Visually and stylistically, they rely on subtle expressions, quiet moments, and small gestures to convey deeper emotions rather than overly dramatic scenes. Overall, both series create a warm, intimate atmosphere that allows viewers to connect closely with the characters and their journeys.

In Moonlight Mystique a character uses a fan, exactly like in The Double. So they're exactly the same.

Basically a chinese adaptation of the show, but it follows a little more down to earth plot.
I watched it years ago, but the story is basically childhood friends separated reunite in university she doesn't recognise him. The main point is he trying to explain love with logic and science, but the test subject is the FL will the test show something more?
The major problem would be the ML since he is a genius with low emotional awareness his jeaulously towards brings a lot of twists and turns that communication could resolve.
