One of the actors have acted in both the titles, as a side role in The Untamed and as the lead role in The Male Fairy Fox of Liaozhai 3. Both titles have a focus on the soulmate relationship and love between two male martial artists. The Untamed has a lot of other plots going on too, but that is because it is a series and it has enough time to explore all the other plots. TMFFL's main plot is the relationship between the main leads. Both titles are good.

Nodame Cantabile is a longer version of 2 talented musicians that play the piano & become better after meeting/creating a relationship just like the Drama Special Season 1: Pianist.

For both of these specials the piano is the main subject by which the main characters get involved with each other.

The begining of the drama has some similar elements. It starts in Italy. ML in both dramas is handsome and cold and speaks Italian. They both want to use FL for their own gain and they both have the same lighter :P

- the cousin/relative dynamic where they have or want a relationship with their relative's husband.
-crazy psycho person that pretends to be a good relative behind the back but is the cause of all the problems.

Hyun Bin is the nasty criminal who is negotiating the release of his captives. A female crisis negotiator for the Seoul Metropolitan Police Agency ends up in a duel with him.

South Korean agents try to save and move out of Somalia some North Korean defectors. This includes a lot of negotiations and action.

The female leads in both are the targets of serial killers who treat them as their prey as they slowly ingratiate themselves into their lives in sinister ways . The dynamics of the relationships the killers have with the female leads in these shows go in different directions but the the core stories are the same. Both shows tackle how technology and social media in the hands of psychopaths can be used as a tool to lure and harm women.

Both ML are normal people that unintentionally get caught up in big criminal activities. They both slowly gain power/influence that becomes a big factor in taking down the antagonists.

There are some stark similarities between both shows -

- FL in both shows are the best students in their school.

- ML in both shows are terrible students in the beginning

- In both shows, the FL and ML are put together due to circumstances, and they eventually fall for each other.

- Both shows involve them breaking up and meeting years later.

My Strange Hero has some revenge elements as well, but they share many similarities.

These two suspenseful dramas center around an intelligent detective FL and an ML with a hidden sinister identity and fragmented memory. They're both seeking out answers to a long buried mystery and often cross paths in their investigations. Similarly, both dramas feature a sinister mystery around the lead's raising and family, an idiot but loyal sidekick/friend, and a young girl whom the ML cares for deeply.
