Both will give you butterflies. While the concept is very different, the loving yet teasing relationship between the main leads is present in both of them. Also, the casts are similarly good looking.

Actor Kim Nam gil acted in both the dramas.

Both the dramas are of different genres, nothing in common and are just another works of the actor.

But the variations in his roles in these two dramas, surprises alot .
In one, as a cold introvert person, who never talks (dark vibes surrounding him) and in another as a fiery n yet funny n lively person, who never stops talking n smiling, punishing the bad guys and giving evil smirks to them, haha

Actor's fans will enjoy and love both.

It's a pretty similar story about a young girl chasing the male lead and then also the male lead being abandoned by his lover. The relationship between them is also so heartwarming; the male lead, from being cold, became warm toward the young girl.

Both Thai BL dramas feature DaouOffroad as the main leads. Century of Love is a supernatural fated-lovers lakhon (Thai soap opera) while The Wicked Game is an action bodyguard show.

Both shows have LGBTQ themes but the romance is not the main plot. Instead, both get increasingly dark and suspenseful as it progresses. Both have manipulative and immoral characters. Paradise of Thorns is more a thriller while Dead Friend Forever is a horror.

Both Thai BL dramas feature BillyBabe as the main leads and have strong Thai supernatural themes and folklore. The Sign is an action series with them acting as detectives while Interminable is a historical drama.

Empresses have to rush into plans/take action to save their country after their Emperors suddenly die.
Very smart and admirable leading women.
