Both have romance and martial arts, Wuxia with fantasy and adventure with various side characters that accompany the leads.
Same vibe. While the story isn’t exactly the same, it is somewhat similar. Both share very dark tones. In each, the female lead is involved in a "justified" but violent crime as a child, and the male lead is completely devoted to her. Together, they grow together and descend deeper and deeper into committing horrible acts, ultimately destroying themselves completely.
Byakuyako has a very memorable OST, probably one of.the best of the genre.

Shen Miao, the daughter of a military lineage, foolishly throws away her honor and stubbornly marries Prince Ding. After assisting her husband for six years, she finally became the Empress. She accompanies him to fight for the country and volunteers to become a hostage in another country for the sake of peace.
When she returns five years later, there is no place for her in the Inner Palace as she is replaced by Lady Mei, the woman the Emperor favors. Her daughter then meets a violent death, her son, the Crown Prince, is deposed, and her parents and brother, who sacrificed themselves for the country and the Emperor, not a single one of them, were lucky enough to escape alive. Even more, she is also executed under the order of her husband.
But in a strange turn of events, she manages to return to the age of fourteen, when the tragedy has yet to occur, her family is still alive, and she is still the pure daughter of a military lineage. With the knowledge of future events, she vows to protect her family and avenge her son and daughter.

Both dramas are centered around a girl who is willing to do anything and everything to get her revenge. Both girls can be described as anti-social/sociopathic beings.
both shows have immaculate polycule vibes :)
also there are similarities in the set up for both triad dynamics - at the start of FoF, Zhuo Yichen considers Zhao Yuanzhou his biggest enemy and he has the goal to kill him; at the start of BR, Su Changhe is trying to kill Bai Hehuai bc she's a very talented physician who is trying to save the person who is his true target. Zhao Yuanzhou and Wen Xiao are clearly drawn to each other from early on when they start working together; same for Su Muyu and Bai Hehuai. Zhuo Yichen and Wen Xiao have 8 years of history and helped each other through grieving family they lost, it's clear they care deeply about each other; Su Muyu and Su Changhe have been steadfast in their loyalty to each other and even when they start BR on opposing sides, they still refuse to let harm come to the other.

The Manipulated and One Ordinary Day are similar in that both focus on ordinary characters who find themselves caught in intense, life-altering situations involving crime and moral dilemmas. In each, the protagonist faces manipulation—either by others or by the system—and must navigate complex psychological and emotional struggles. Both shows also explore themes of guilt, justice, and the impact of the legal system on individuals, with characters undergoing significant transformations under pressure.
Both are short stories from the same book.

Both revolve around marriage by duty and love growing from obligation. Padiwaradda is emotional and serious; My Sassy Wedding is playful and romantic.

Both feature arranged/fated marriages, noble settings, and bickering leads who fall in love. Buppe Sanniwat adds time-travel and destiny, while My Sassy Wedding stays comedic and light.
