Both are hilarious detective comedies but the formulaic straight man and funny man roles being the experienced detective and the rookie detective respectively. If you're not into Japanese humor then this might not be for you.
While Nobnaga no Chef has timeslip. Both feature mouth watering recipes, lots of umai and oishiiii xD But seriously, both feature young chefs who are able to discern their boss/ master's intent and relay that intent through food. Food with a message. If you love eating and /or cooking this is right up your alley.
Both feature strict teachers which at time seem very extreme in their actions and tsundere. They do provoke a conversation with the audience about the roles of teachers in society today particularly, Japanese society where teachers are expected to do more than just teaching beyond the walls of the classroom. These are dramas that require viewers to read between the lines and watch with an open mind.
similarities:
- A royal dealing with the modern world
- A headstrong FL who clings to the ML for her own survival.
differences:
- My Royal Nemesis is a modern fantasy that has dialed up the comedy, and shows an enemies to lovers romance between two selfish individuals. For more information, watch the promotional material:

Innocent sidekick character paired with an intelligent eccentric male lead with a strange and mysterious gravitational pull that leave both the sidekick and us the audience wanting to know more about them. The eccentric male leads have an almost morbid curiosity that attracts them to the cases that they solve. Oh and the oversized coat and bed hair .
Both are basically told from the POV of one of the main character and shows the evolution of their relationship with the other main lead and the impact of their new friendship on their lives all the while solving cases together.
Great cases with a twist and also an overall main plot with subplots. Great chemistry between the leads, officially bromance in both but SCI was adapted from a bl novel so...
Both present interesting cases and feature eccentric male leads that provide comic relief 9dry humor).
Similar relationship between the main leads. Both are a perfect mix of light hearted investigation with a very subtle underlying darkness that never fully rears it head. TLDR'; easy investigative watch with great chemistry between the leads.
- beautifully filmed and composed dramas, my favourites
- containing unconventional plots: stalker + girl, teacher + girl
- he saves her from committing suicide

Both dramas have one secret evil sect's leader in the midst of the righteous sect/organization, but roles are reversed for ML-FL in both dramas. Both dramas revolve around the problematic romance between the leads and them working towards their common goal of solving a conspiracy later revealed to be headed by a leader from the righteous sect instead.
-Both dramas feature strong general leads
-Political intrigue and war
-Power struggle and battle scenes

It works well if you like messy “situationship” dynamics where desire and emotions gradually blur while living together, creating constant tension and emotional confusion that keeps you hooked.
Female leads are in a comparable state of delulu.
One writes an online novel. The other posts on social media.
