Both dramas feature characters trying to survive an apocalypse, where people are being infected with a curse that tempts them with their pasts to become violent and kill other people.

The plot twist in Forgotten is similar to the one in Mouse. If you watch it you will get what I mean. :)

Here are some similarities between the male leads, female leads and the shows.

Male Leads
- Smart & Calculative
- Skilled in their area of expertise (mafia & doctor)
- Seek revenge
- Trying to get rid of corruption
- Fights injustice with injustice
- Both are intimidating & induces fear upon their targets

Female Leads
- One is a lawyer the other a psychiatrist
- Both teamed up with ML's with a shared goal

Show
- They both have very similar vibes
- Have similar tags: suspense, law, crime, revenge, smart male lead, corruption etc.

If I wasn't able to convince you to watch it, just give the first episode a try and you won't be able to stop :P

In SWAS , ML is not immortal but the reincarnation of a man cursed by his lover in a past life and they meet again falling in love and healing their karma. SWAS is a mini serie.

both undercover strong female leads and quirky/funny moments and relationships with their "family" and neighbors. Both are fun, light and enjoyable dramas. My favorite is Madam Cutie though the comedy there is gold

Both movies feature friendships in difficult circumstances, themes of trust and betrayal and the relationship between North and South.

Both movies have the same director and a similar dark atmosphere. The lead in The Chaser is chasing a killer while the lead in The Yellow Sea is being chased in the aftermath of a hit gone wrong. The buildup in The Yellow Sea is slower but both movies have the same tense undertone.

The Merchant and The Great Merchant are both
- historical sageuks
- about great merchants
- set in Joseon
The Merchant is a fiction about a male merchant, whereas The Great Merchant is based on a true story about a female merchant

Same BL/murder story plot line, the expositions and play-outs of these are very similar in essence. The more you watch it, the more similarities you find, but I can't say them cause that's mega spoilers.

Both are dark psychological miniseries. The female leads deal with identity issues and the feeling of being trapped. Completely different storylines but very similar atmospheres.

Both productions not only have Joseph Chang (Chang Hsiao Chuan) as ML, they are also quirky (with similar arthouse vibe to them) and bloody.

- both are adaptions from BL novels
- both pairs are inseparable and have amazing chemistry
- both stories partly revolve around finding the missing pieces of a powerful object
- both have one male lead who takes the ''wrong'' path -> Wei Wuxian from The Untamed by practicing demonic cultivation and Wen Kexing from Word of Honor by becoming chief of the ghost valley

Both the dramas revolve around a murder case where all the characters are suspects & have a motive.

One has extraordinary events based on fantasy the other based on quasi-science.
Childhood/youth connection , event triggering mystery/ suspense
Light moments balancing the suspense
Main Character managing life expectancy - pending event
It just feels similar! :)
