Zenra Meshi also has the plot highlights as food, trying out cuisines all over the world and is also a BL.

Both stories focus on revenge and how it affects the people seeking it. The characters are deeply hurt by past trauma, and their journey shows how revenge can change who they are and come at a personal cost. Both highlight the failures of justice, forcing the characters to take matters into their own hands.

They share a dark tone, with symbols like chains representing the burden of revenge. Key moments involve facing their tormentors, bringing some closure but also showing how revenge doesn’t always heal. Both stories explore the pain, struggles, and consequences of seeking vengeance.

Both feature blind women falling for scarred criminal-type men that lie about who they are.

Happy reunion in the end.

No Inji reminds me a lot of Moon Dongeun. The two female leads play broken characters whose pain is so visceral on screen and almost tangible. Seo Hyun Jin and Song Hye Kyo depict internal external pain in almost similar ways, to the point I worried for their health. However they also depict incredible strength despite their pain.
