the setting is different (from a historical setting to a modern republic of china), however it has some sort of similarities which i will list.

- face-swapping ; both the female leads has their faces swapped for a pretty similar reason (to serve a man, unfortunately)
- both female leads do quite well despite not being the brightest ones, not too naive but does need constant saving from the male leads.
- both has wang ze xuan playing as an antagonist (he was still a womanizing jerk with petty schemes), so a familiar face might convince you to watch the other.

i'll finalize the recommendation after i finish them both!

Both dramas focus on women who are intelligent and bold. The male leads are just as powerful and shows a equal power dynamic between leading couple. Also, it's a wuxia type drama filled with sects, leadership and betrayal.

Both are comedy jdramas about police officer at a small police box. While Kochikame is about 4 officers at a police box in Tokyo, Honjitsu is about a lone police officer on a remote island.

Both short dramas where the two main characters are both men and the theme is modern CEO/office. "My Rival's Secretary" is a bit more comedic, while "Be Moon" is a bit more BL-y.

If you can't get enough of Barcode's acting you should check out "Happy Ending" and "Kiss Me Remember". (When they get released)

Different genre, but both dramas have that top tier chemistry.

Happy Ending: JeffBarcode
JeffBarcode has been long term working partners and Jeff was actually a mentor to Barcode in the beginning of his career, therefore it's that much more heartfelt, that Jeff chose Barcode as one of his fellow main leads in his first drama as a producer.

Kiss Me, Remember?: BarcodeKin
BarcodeKin is a new formed partnership under GMMTV, but they have already shown great potential. They are already known as the "The Race Driver & The Hokey Player"- Couple and loved by many fans.

I think this is also a high IQ murder mystery series although it's straight.

- Even here there's 1 lead and 2 brothers.
- Hypnosis
- It's intense and a clever plot so I'm recommending it
