The hotness is definitely there, both have mature, sensual romances and very strong chemistry between the leads. If you liked the chemistry in The Early Spring, you'll probably enjoy The Forbidden Flower.

Both feature crime investigation and mystery as the main focus.
The protagonists have a strong ability to analyze crimes and reconstruct what really happened.
Cold cases and unresolved incidents from the past become connected to new crimes.
The stories reveal the truth piece by piece, keeping the audience guessing.
Both have a dark, serious and suspenseful atmosphere rather than a lighthearted crime tone.
The characters are personally connected to the cases, making the investigations emotionally intense as well as intellectually challenging.
Both explore themes of justice, human nature, sacrifice, and the psychological side of crime.
The biggest similarity: in both dramas, solving a crime is only the beginning—the investigation gradually uncovers a much deeper truth hidden beneath the surface.

Shares the similar themes of the threads over the head. S Line is just a bit darker than Connecting to You. Since S Line is a thriller and Connecting to you is a rom-com. I did feel however that there's this fantasy elements of the lines so if that part of the story was what drew you to one show you might also like the other.

Both a slice of life, coming of age drama about boys in high school.
Both drama have a good friend group.
Both have one boy's family not as involved as the other.
Both have the ML live near each other.
