If you watched The Glory and liked the social commentary, the questioning of social rules and the place of women in society, women helping each other and, above all, strong female characters in a more serious tone, I strongly recommend you watch Marvelous Women.

- Historical war movies
- Older protagonist/younger protagonist duo
- Protagonists are outnumbered heavily but still emerge victorious
- Battle against all odds
- Heartfelt and emotional
- Beautiful and well-shot

WotD is slower paced and focused more on a travel while TGB is more focused on the big battle (duh).

Both are Taiwanese BL dramas whereby the main couple has two opposite personalities that are forced to live together in the same house and have an enemies to lovers dynamic.

Both are political chinese dramas with strong male and female lead. They both have considerable amount of chemistry. Both are short chinese dramas.

Both are Taiwanese BL dramas that are produced by the same company VBL. Fight for You is a rivals to lovers plot while Eternal Butler is a protector/spoiled rich boy to lovers plot.

Both are Taiwanese BL dramas about 2 guys that live together in the same house. There is also a character (side character in See Your Love) that is supposed to be a bad guy by being tasked to kill someone, but he is unable to have the evilness or courage to do it.

Remake of My Lethal Man. . .

Bai Shuo, the youngest daughter of the Governor's mansion, made a vow to cultivate immortality to repay a favor. While on her journey to seek immortality, she encounters the powerful demon king, master of the bright moon palace, Fan Yue. Initially strangers, they gradually went from mutual distrust and manipulation to mutual affection, and eventually, both fell in love. Along with Fan Yue and the two guardians of the Bright Moon Palace, Tian Huo and Cang Shan, Bai Shou continues her journey. Despite facing many obstacles, their friendship, love and desire are strong enough to overcome any limitations, allowing them to embrace each other truly.

The story is similar with the grim reaper concept the only difference the fl is grim reaper instead of the ml the plot and themes are quite similar just instead of each other first love the ml is a singer and she is big fan of him he is going to die and she has limited time to save him the story is quite intriguing even the no of eps of both dramas are same it is a part of trilogy called three color fantasy which each of them containing 6 eps

Both dramas have similar elements:

- Enemies to lovers trope with sizzling and natural chemistry
- ML with a "bad boy" image, a smart, cold and alluring guy, difficult, cunning and anti-social personality and self destructive tendencies
- FL is a "good girl", has a big heart
- Realistic depiction of relationships
- Family of FL doesn't approve of her relationship with ML
- Tragic past of ML which left him scarred/traumatized
- ML commits a crime
- FL is a ride or die type of girlfriend
- Contains cute intimate scenes between ML/FL but is also angsty

The difference is: The Smile Has Left Your Eyes is heavier in tone, has a heavier message (on the topic of abandoned children and trauma) and the ending are completely different. TSHLYE is much sadder. But it's one of my favorite Kdramas, especially for people who enjoy the above mentioned elements and more realistic type of dramas.

Like in AMnSE:
- ML approaches FL because of a bet/revenge
- ML ends up falling for FL
- both rich ML’s

Connection (2024) and Awaken (2020):

- Genres: Thriller, Mystery, Crime
- Both feature fearless detective MLs
- Both started with a murder cases

Awaken follows a detective solving mysterious murders linked to a secret experiment from years ago, blending crime with a supernatural twist. Connection is a gritty psychological thriller where a detective, while investigating a drug-related murder, unwillingly becomes addicted and uncovers a conspiracy tied to his past.

Hometown cha cha cha is also a slice of life and deals with a lot of problems that people deal in their daily life similar to when life gives you tangerines.
And also this drama is based in a sea side location which gives similar vibe .
The seafood and boats are similar and kim seon ho seen in both these dramas...
The parent child relationship, orphan child, a parent who lost child all these concepts are explored in both the drama... Both these dramas give healing vibes and nostalgia..... healthy relationship between partners is similar

- unfortunate circumstances force the leads away
- they reunite and rekindle their romance
- angsty performances by both mls and fls
- melancholic fl with strong performances by the actresses
- slow burn romance
- none of the cute/childish schtick by the fl if you're not into that
- leads are loyal to each other despite the heartbreaks
- lengthy shows which take their sweet time to get into the romance aspect but are worth the time.
