Both are dark Korean thriller series focused on real serial killer cases and cold-case investigations.

Both about brilliant FLs who bring the family back from the brink of despair. They do so by starting businesses as well. They also both have supportive, romantic partners..

It has the same idea of the show being centered on a certain theme, in this case a convenience store, and has a main cast with guest coming on the show.

Gu Jinzhao had the same fate as Cheng Shaoshang. She grew up without parents and lived with his grandmother. There were many incidents that made her character full of conspiracies and cunning. FL's character makes ML interested and slowly falls in love. Chen Yayun, whose position was cornered from various sides, met Gu Jinzhao and went through many trials and overcame facing it together. The difference is in the story conflict, LLTG is about the Huo family's revenge (focuses on the General's family and some palace intrigue) and ASM is about royal political intrigue (fierce ministerial competition for power that deviated from its original purpose). Each actor has a strong character so the storyline is exciting. The OST was so great! The illustrations in the opening and ending are very good! Love it.

I don't want to give spoilers but character dynamics and roles are the same. Both has queer love also. You will not regret

I saw some comments under The Merciless about The Handmaiden and they were so right. All these plot twists and relationship between main characters and their intentions are so similar. Plus, queer love

Both Wu and Peaceful Property are bromance-focused dramas with supernatural storylines. Both dramas follow two unlikely partners who start off clashing but slowly grow really close and end up becoming emotionally dependent on each other. Both series balance comedy, fun banter, and emotional moments instead of being completely dark or horror-focused.

Although the settings are different, both dramas have a fun squad. Supposedly lead by an intelligent leader, the members are a bit fools, but they are fun, kind and passionate to save people !
