- they are both produced by Youku

- they both are BL
- both the leads are hot AF

IDK! I can think of anymore! But both dramas are just cute and show aspects of BL which passed the China censorship so I'm happy!!

The setting is the same school setting and similar in the male lead for the sudden disappear without telling the reason why. Its both school to adulting love story

Another fusion sageuk with a great cast. Its similar point is not only the comedy, but also an interesting play on the stereotypical gender roles: Homme Fatale has a "feminine" male lead and Mr Queen's female lead is "manly". Both titles combine comedy with more serious undertones.

Lay was partnered with Perth in My Engineer but was partnered with Yoon in YYY the series so it's interesting to see the three of them in the same storyline. I wonder if we will see a love triangle between the three. YYY the series is a goofy show and is the origin story of Lay and Yoon as a BL couple.

Both main leads pretend to be that dead person it's just that in Orphan Black the main character has the same face with the rich character who just killed herself to escape from poverty and Love In Sadness the main character have her face undergone with plastic surgery just to escape from her abusive husband. Both of them are not that good in pretending.

Both main leads are suffering from financial crisis. Both of them found their doppelganger unfortunately dead. Both main leads pretend to be that rich doppelganger just to escape poverty and enjoy comfort of life.

Both comedies revolve around a couple who end in a Marriage Of Convenience. The male leads end up falling for the female lead by the end from their interactions with her. The ending is different enough, however, so be ready.

Both have a female lead that is trying to make the male lead, who happens to work in the same place, fall in love with her. Both male leads are stand-offish, to varying degrees. In the workplace, there are other males colleagues who are interested in the female lead as well. In the end, both couples have similar results.

Both dramas have mature storylines with realistic, selfish characters who don't consider love as the only factor in a relationship. The characters in both dramas follow similar archetypes - the rich girl who's cold on the outside, the rich guy who wants to be loved, the poor guy who wants to rise up, and the poor girl who has the attention of both guys. Everyone works at the same place and tensions rise. In both dramas, the male lead is a jerk with a heart - although whether he's the rich one or the poor one is different in WHIB compared to QSS.

-It takes place at the University
-Both male leads are soft;;
-There is love triangle
-The relationship between leads is sweet and realistic

Similar vibes, younger guy a bit lost in life falls for a competent working woman that helps him find his way, while he also comforts her, also in both there’s a bit of a love triangle with a coworker that seems to be a socially more “acceptable” person for the FL + young Johnny’s ikemen haha

So Ji Sub as an angsty melodrama male lead who meets a poor but plucky girl working as a tour guide in another country. Things get complicated when she arrives in Seoul and they are reunited. Lots of tears from the female lead.

A major difference is that Cain and Abel has firmly established couples by the 2/3 mark that you will root for while What Happened in Bali keeps the love square unresolved until the very end.

In both dramas, the main character is a kind and caring doctor who's deeply in love with his girlfriend. Through a series of tragic events, he is betrayed and loses his identity as an upstanding and respectable man. The story follows his revenge with a family divided by power struggles over the ownership of a company. Both dramas are classic melodramas with tropes like love squares, amnesia and illness.

Both have a classic melodrama story about love triangles, revenge, and complicated relationships between brothers.
