Both are famous neo noir movie series by Takashi Ishi................................................................... ....

Both movies feature a pair of men, one more manly, and one very effeminate, that are actors together. In both, they start out poor, but climb the social ladder by performing for the high society. They achieve this mostly through the unusual charm of the effeminate character, who is torn between his ambiguous relationship with the other male lead, and the advances he receives from rich and powerful men. Although they are very different eras (and countries!), both take place in difficult political contexts in which the characters become entangled, but that their theatre plays reenact metaphorically. Both characters cross-dress and play woman characters on stage. However, The King and the Clown is more comical, whereas Farewell My Concubine is more thoughtful, artistic and tragic.

Same movie director (Nagisa Oshima), same music composer (Ryuchi Sakamoto), and a recurring actor (Takeshi Kitano). The movies are set in very different eras (WW2 for Merry Christmas Mr Lawrence, and 19th century for Taboo), however both explore homosexual love in an artistic and non-explicit way, and this within a military context. Both confront the rigid samurai code of honor with intense feelings of longing and desire.

It is very similar because both are Thai BL and are of the genre romance and comedy. Fans will love Sotus if they like this show.

It's also about Artificial Intelligence, but more serious. AYHT is by far one of the BEST dramas I've seen. Both fans and non-fans of sci-fi will enjoy it for its boldness.

In both dramas we have large corporations. Love between boss and employee. A dispute between competing companies. We also have jealous women and many lovers of men in the main heroine.

Similar plot where the female lead travels to the past and has to adjust and adapt in order to survive in the era. This drama does have as much political intrigues as Scarlet Heart but if you're in love with time travel plots where the character travels from the present to the past, you might enjoy this.
