FL transmigrated to story and ML is cold-blooded prince . FL changed the story after being in the story's world.

Both of the FLs come from the sea and begin living among humans in disguise. Surplus princess was cancelled early, so it has a rushed ending.

Both FLs are under a curse that causes them to shift either their souls to a stranger's body or shift their appearance, appearing as different people.

Gap is the mother ship of Thai GL. The meteoric international success of Gap and the abiding popularity of the two main characters, Sam and Mon, and the actors who portray them, have established Thailand as the undisputed leader in the Girl Love genre and paved the way for what has become a steady stream of increasingly professional and well crafted GL dramas.

Even though many new series have followed Gap, this groundbreaking show still rates as the best loved and most watched, likely owing to the openly affectionate and trusting relationship between Freen Sarocha and Becky Armstrong. Their on-screen chemistry and the realism with which they portray a deeply loving relationship keeps them the preeminent GL couple in the industry.

Like Denied Love, Us is a 2025 GL offering from Thailand. The story follows Pam, a dental student, and Dokrak, a young woman estranged from her family and struggling to support herself so that she can live independently. The attraction between the two is apparent in the first episode and the directly gives the story time to develop their relationship organically. The standout feature of Us is the mutual trust and respect of the lovers, their support and patience with each other, and the avoidance of contrived conflicts - there are conflicts, of course, owing to family relationships, circumstances beyond the control of the lead characters. There's a lot of character development all around for both the main leads, the second couple, and strong supporting characters.

very similar, im shocked no ones recommended it. FL lost parents and was raised by bad relatives, she meets an influential women when shes a kid, lady sees her mistreatment and wants to adopt her but loses her memory before she can and the adoption falls through. Fast forward to future, lady starts regaining some memory and wants to see the FL, but the FL's horrible aunt/foster mother lies to the lady and makes her think that the girl she was gonna adopt was actually the FL cousin/aunts daughter, with the intention of getting money. The FL's are very similar and she also meets the ML the same way as in shining inheritance, like at the airport with a mix up, and the ML in both shows are nepo babies.

going back in time

..........................................................................................................................................................................................................................................sport school.............................................team................................comforting...............................................................................good

both mentionned basketball, YMS has it more than LAFS but sport is important in both
school/uni setting
a main character is going back to practice sport while meeting his love interest

volleyball team, BL series, romance and rivalry :)
one is thai and the other is filipino, but it doesn't change how good those series are !!

Both:

- Beautifully shot
- Historical Epics
- Lovers surviving hurdle after hurdle

On one hand, My Dearest is better plotted and more set in historically accuracy, on the other hand it isn't as romance heavy and as slick in delivery as Dear Hongrang

I feel like the vibes of both these dramas are pretty much the same regarding the romantic comedy and friendship trope.

- Royal FL (Queen in MMMQ, Princess in GZJS,YWRRYXFS)
- Aloof warrior-type ML
- FL has a harem that helps her regain control of her court
- Flirty FL x Shy ML
- Historical short length cdramas

Plot has differences and FL in MMMQ is far more playful while FL in GZJS,YWRRYXFS is cold and ruthless.

- FL goes back to her youth (in TPR both leads do while in GZJS,YWRRYXFS only FL does)
- Princess FLs that are favoured by the emperor
- FL cleans up the court and corruption
- Scheming, cunning, cold, and ruthless FL (colder in GZJS,YWRRYXFS)
- Supportive, devoted, kind, and caring ML
- Mistreated ML whom FL protects
- Fight for the throne (in TPR FL fights to secure her brother's position as heir while in GZJS,YWRRYXFS FL wants to the position herself)
- Political
- Gender role reversal

Main difference is the romance and the ML. In TPR ML is a mistreated noble whom marries FL as her consort and both travel back in time to their youth while in GZJS,YWRRYXFS he's a bodyguard who had no relationship with FL until the story unfolds.

Kim Hae Il (0r father Michael) is like alter ego of Lee Do from Trigger.
In addition he is played by the same actor.
