Age-gap romance. Sunbae/hoobae relationship. Sharing mundane parts of life together. Slow-burn romance of two co-workers slowly falling in love with each other after going on dates etc.

The stories are very different on the surface, but the core themes appear to be very similar. The kind of response Mirae's character is getting is identical to what Chen Yun Ru got in SOOD. And if you are a mature person with a well functioning brain, you will loathe what certain privileged people have to say about these 2 characters. It will remind you that even in 2025, we still have people that get annoyed at people who are struggling psychologically and look 'depressed' all the time giving 'negative vibes'. SOOD has done an excellent job with Chen Yun Ru's character, and OUS is doing very well with Mirae's character so far. If you need a drama with such complex and highly realistic characters, watch SOOD & OUS.

- both series features the combination of an actor originated from nadao bangkok (nonkul chanon and pond ponlawit) and a CH3 actor who only got supporting roles in CH3 lakorns finally getting their first lead role through this BL series (bright rapheephong and peterpan tadsapon).
- elements of time travelling, both main characters got sent back in time because of them dying in the present after getting cheated on by their long term partners, although in Armin's case its 20 years while for Jom it's 70/80 years back in time.
- both main characters have a hard time adjusting to their respective circumstances when first sent back in time and don't even try hide the fact that they're from the future with the people around them.
- both male leads are TRUE YEARNERS. THEY YEARN. THEY SIMP extremely hard for the main characters. two forest green flags.
- both male leads use very gentleman-like language with the main characters.

breakup angst in both shows because fl breaks up with ml:
"am i just your backup option?"
"am i the easiest thing you have that you can throw away?"
also both are second chance romances where they meet years later and rekindle their relationship

Both were set in a police university with the students solving crimes, though Miman Keisatsu: Midnight Runner was more episodic/ anthology like in it's cases— where as Police University followed one case/ storyline.

Both are over powered male centered harems with multiple females but one LOVE is mentioned in the end.

Both are over powered male centered harems with multiple females where the ML defeats opponents across multiple "battles".

Both are over powered male centered harems with multiple females where no one believes the ML is powerful.

If you loved the soft office vibes and flirty younger x shy older dynamic in Jun & Jun, you’ll totally enjoy 'You Are Mine' too! Both are full of sweet moments, cuddly and super satisfying ending that leave you smiling like a fool.

Both series present morally questionnable ML with tough childhood trauma which follow them throughout the series.

Same sort of morally grey MC who murders people that seem to avoid the law and makes you question whether it is morally right or not

Both dramas have:
- actors who starred in both dramas
- action & crime solving
- cases inspired by real life
- dark tone

I have yet to find anything similar to Signal until I started watching Taxi. Highly recommend.

Both dramas have:
- business savvy and intelligent FLs
- MLs who know how to fight
- feel like slices of life dramas, with some political intrigue & action

If you like one, you should check out the other.

Both dramas have:
- spirits
- mysteries
- sassy MLs
- historical settings

If you're into romance with a touch of the supernatural, you'll enjoy both.

Both dramas center around a male lead with a dark past, a strong, emotionally grounded female lead, and a love that withstands betrayal and danger.

If you loved the emotional breakdowns, mystery, and intense couple loyalty in Flower of Evil, you'll absolutely connect with Beyond the Clouds.
