Both dramas are Japanese and feature an older woman/younger man duo, where one of them is a dancer.

Both dramas are period slice-of-life stories set in self-contained industrial work-unit communities in China, a 1970s factory village and a 1990s oil field of multi-generational families. They share a nostalgic, coming-of-age genre, focusing on ordinary people navigating family ties and using education to escape their inherited social fates. Both have slow-burn relationships with Love Story in the 1970s specifically including a fake marriage trope. Bonus- Sun Qian is female main lead in both!

Same wuxia elements with sacred beasts, lots of kung fu and fighting, both leads are strong and have feeling for each other from start. Matching visual and great cinematography.

Romance dramas about female leads working as science researchers wanting to save the natural environment and pragmatic male leads with a different views on nature.

Martial arts, action, and historical settings. The creation of the Gods is more fantasy-like, as it explores Chinese myths, but both movies feature many visually striking combat scenes. I recommend they be watched in cinema theatres

Same studio/actors a slasher horror set in the Thai countryside, somewhat of a similar premise. It does have subs,
