One of the main characters is a a shaman who is "forced" to go to the palace to solve what's haunting the royal family. In both series, the king also plays a prominent role. Both series are focused on a palace drama and also various ghost and other "beings" haunting the palace and its occupants.

Same badass women vibe that will kill the bad guys in their path..
Same cool women actress with kinda blonde dyed hair FL
The action is brutal and engaging

Both are horror/thriller dramas where theres loads of action taking place. Both have elements of the supernatural. They give the same vibes in a way with ofc differences in how the story takes it and the overall settings, but the atmosphere is similar which is why i'm recommending them as similar.
Major Differences:
- One is spirits in the Gwi realm and the other is monstrous beings hunting humans in the real world.
- One is historical the other is apocalyptic.
- Palace setting and apartment complex setting.

Golden Kamuy: The Hunt of Prisoners in Hokkaido is the sequel to the first live action film of the Golden Kamuy series, and Golden Kamuy: The Abashiri Prison Raid follows this drama so it should be recommended.

Shorter romance dramas about two characters entering a kind of situationship/no status relationship but more serious feelings emerge
Gelboys focuses on a gay romance, Koifure on a hetero romance

Not really similar but both films are part of the same live action series so it has to be recommended.

The protagonists see dead people and help them to rest in peace. Dead people seek the help the protagonists to resolve their unsolved murders.

While obviously different eras, I thought "The Great Doctor" and "Crash Landing on You" had similar vibes.

same vibes, especially the whole mother situation. but hey over come it but this is not as heavy as go ahead lol

At first glance, Double Helix and ABO Desire seem like completely different stories, but they share several qualities that make them equally compelling. Both center on characters whose relationships are shaped by emotional barriers, hidden vulnerabilities, and a slow journey toward trust rather than instant romance.

In both dramas, the chemistry comes from restraint. The leads are drawn to each other through quiet moments, unwavering support, and an emotional connection that deepens over time. Instead of relying solely on romantic tropes, each story explores how love can challenge long-held fears and change the way people see themselves.

Another similarity is the intensity beneath the surface. Whether it's the emotional tension in Double Helix or the instinctive pull and psychological conflict in ABO Desire, both keep viewers invested by making every interaction feel meaningful. The relationships evolve gradually, making the emotional payoff feel earned.

Ultimately, both series deliver more than romance. They tell stories about vulnerability, healing, and finding someone who accepts every complicated part of you, which is why they leave such a lasting impression.
