Recommendations

Tragic storylines, with the main focus being on profiling. Especially the first couple of episodes of Crime Puzzle are quite similar to Through the Darkness. Also both male leads are quite similar in demeanor.

* Both shows are historical, political dramas with some romance. (I would say Snowdrop is 50% romantic melodrama + 50% political thriller. Whereas The Rebel focuses more on the war, espionage and politics (65%), but the 35% of the romance is muuuch more powerful, evident and dramatic; and the leads have better chemistry!)

* Both shows depict the struggle for power between two opposing parties (Snowdrop takes place during SK presidential elections, while The Rebel takes place during China's Civil War).

* Forbidden romance trope: in Snowdrop we have the SK National Intelligence director's daughter and a NK spy that is holding her captive; in The Rebel the FL is an underground communist that is targeted by the ML (a secret agent of the nationalist party).

* FLs are students with somewhat powerful fathers, while the MLs are agents/spies.

* Both MLs have doubts / change their political views, because of the FLs. And all they want to do is protect the FLs.

* I just find the vibe of these two shows similar - I really recommend watching The Rebel (for the plot, the visuals and the romance).

+ teach about relationships
+ thought provoking conversations
+ real life, can relate easily
+ guy perspective and girl perspective
+ slow build-up

Both pretty similar with someone acting as someone else. And both are romantic dramas. I enjoyed both.

The male-lead also has a secret he wants to keep hidden and just like in this show his secret is slowly revealed and gets in the way of the romance blooming between the female and male lead. Both of this have to do with memory, and while watching this show it reminded me so much of devilish joy so if you like the concept of this show you may like devilish joy this will also be a longer show to keep you entertained. I loved both of these shows I hope you do to.

Must watch drama if u liked watching mirror tale of twin cities
- has xiao zhan as the ml

A satisfying slow burn

the story is similar, the school is attacked by zombies. one is from korea, then this one is from japan.

Both are set during high school days.
The Leads were together at that time and broken up due to misunderstandings.
The leads' characteristics are really different but the story turns up in their favors.

Similarities between the two dramas:
- Main characters with traumatic pasts who are healing together
- ML tries to withdraw from the FL because he thinks his baggage makes him an unsuitable partner, but the FL pursues him anyway
- ML has a job involving manual labor and must work together with the FL on a project that brings them closer together
- Strong family/friendship themes

Similarities:
- OS is about school and PYHOMS is about college life;
- ML are smart;
- sweet moments between ML and FL

Female leads in both dramas are stubborn and quick-witted. Both of them are favored by the emperor and create their own destiny.

Both dramas are about power struggle inside the palace. In terms of actors Charmaine Sheh is acting in both of them.

They are both:
-Korean
- Zombies
While Kingdom differs from All of Us Are Dead, for the fact that it's a historical drama, don't let that throw you off. I would highly recommend Kingdom and would even argue it was better that All of Us Are Dead. (typically I don't watch historical dramas but kingdom is just so good it's 100% worth it).

Both dramas feature a policeman and a member of the Yakuza who are allies in the quest to find out what happened to a woman they were both very attached to.

In Ouroboros they're siblings in everything but blood, and in Kei x Yaku what they have is closer to a romance.
