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.
