Recommendations

- main character is/become a popular t-pop idol
- has to keep their relationship to another guy a secret
- lots of talk about idol culture, fandom culture

Both are similar, travel into others world.

Lee Gon is the third Korean emperor of his generation. His citizens regard him as the perfect leader. But behind this flawless appearance, hides a deep wound. When he was eight years old, his father was murdered before his eyes following a coup. Today, instead of respecting his filial duty, he prefers to escape the palace to attend university conferences. During one of his escapades, he sees himself propelled into a parallel world where he meets Jeong Tae Eul, an inspector with whom he teams up with to defeat the criminals but also close the door between their two worlds.

If you love Spooky in Love, Bring It On, Ghost is perfect. Both blend horror, comedy, and romance around a human who can see ghosts teaming with a ghost/human partner.

Spooky in Love has a haunted heiress and prosecutor solving unjust deaths via touch; Bring It On, Ghost has exorcist student Bong-pal and playful ghost Hyun-ji solving spirit cases while she recovers memories.

Both deliver spooky cases-of-the-week, sinister overarching villains, and sweet, playful chemistry that turns ghost-hunting into falling in love. It's the same cozy, creepy, heart-fluttering formula that makes supernatural romance addictive and binge-worthy every night for you always.

- Strong, warrior FL
- Green-tea ML who pretends to be a weak maiden that needs FL's protecting but is actually a scheming, sassy b*tch <3
- Gender Role Reversal

The plots are pretty different but the MLs and the RR dynamic is somewhat similar. FMMTDXHL committed far better to the role reversal than BLRZHKWYFSA.

- Strong warrior FL
- Courtesan ML
- Green-tea ML who pretends to be a weak maiden that needs FL's protecting but is actually a scheming b*tch <3
- ML trying to seduce FL and being coquettish
- ML has a secret identity (the same kind of identity in both)
- Gender Role Reversal

Both also have a bit of a disappointing RR approach where ML is far more RR than FL and FL is kinda weak and mean more than she is protective and cool.

MLG is more committed to the RR than BLRZHKWYFSA

Boys love dramas with an age gap
Younger one (who has dyed hair) has been a fan of the other for a while and is very expressive in his affection and persistent in pursuing the older one
Dramatic romance

Judging from the first episode, IK is obviously a short remake of One the Woman. I hope they gave it the credits. As I don't read Chinese characters, I cannot be sure the credits are given.

The plot in both cases starts by a beautiful lawyer investigating the crimes of a family in an auction where after an accident she looses memory and people around her think she is another woman. She is in fact a doppelganger of a rich woman who is exploited by her husband family.

Both are haunting stories about spirits and unworldly creatures. The same writers. If you liked the east palace, your next watch is the guest

I don’t even know the plot yet nor do we have the synopsis of this series but I write this recommendation in hope that they actually have this ‘game’ sort of theme just as Love for Love’s Sake…

Both are BLs with a strickingly similar vibe. They share most of the particularities of a Japanese dramas revolving around police or law work. One of the main characters are strickingly stoic and serious.

Both are:
-BLs where at least one of the main characters is a cop and there arent many BLs revolving around cops/detectives made until now.
