If you liked the chemistry of Shi Guang and Yu Liang in Hikaru no Go, you'll definitely like The Untamed.

Shi Guang is definitely a modern version of TU Wei Wuxian. Both are mischievous, friendly, geniuses, snarky, funny, and loyal. Yu Liang is also very much the same as TU Lan Wangji as they are both serious, quiet, and prodigies. Even the dynamics of their relationships are similar, being bickering frenemies-to-"bestfriends".

Both HNG and TU are not focused on romance and have strong character development plots.

Oh and Ji Li (HNG Gu Yu) is also in The Untamed as one of the main supporting characters.

In both films a mother reunites with her son after abandoning him. He holds resentment, however.

Its somewhat similar with a strong FL who has a traumatic past. Both FL appear strong on the outside but are soft.

Both take place in different timelines ,well executed plot,mystery, while the call is darker ;the two have similar vibes and are so good .

The male leads in both drama solve cases by entering into people's subconscious to find clues. The female leads are Chinese Republican Era policewomen with good fighting skills.

Scarlett reminds me so much of Goo Se Ra. They're both funny, justice-oriented, and optimistic in the work they do. Their fluffy relationship dynamics with their respective partners are also similar; both women are so high energy, confident, and adoring and their partners are so soft. Both shows also have great depictions of female careerwomen and friendships as well as themes of politics and power.

The Guest has elements that deal with hunting down demons/spirits and childhood trauma. There is a team of sorts that work together to bring down the spirit baddies in it as well.

Similar kind of vibes. In both FL is energetic and positive while ML is a quiet lone wolf who is hard to approach. The only difference is that 'Be with you' is mostly centering around manhwa company and campus life and 'My Love, Enlighten Me' is concentrating on entertainment world.
