Both dramas star Zheng Ye Cheng.

School rules being unreasonable for students. Resistance. Jdrama. Good looking guys. Hmmm why I’m becoming bad at this? Forgive me for my brain is not working. I’ve only had 2 hours of sleep. Why did I binge watch Chastity High when I should be sleeping?! Because I can’t fckin sleep I hate myself
Both have ML and FL working on different cases and they fall in love with each other. Imperial Coroner is more fast paced i found the cases better, but golden age is more political and has better costumes. I enjoyed both and recommend both
- Horror comedy with ghosts
- Also touching background story
- Hilarious
- Interesting characters

Male leads are gaming experts in both dramas.
However, here ML builds a romantic relationship online first.
Good chemistry!

Kinda surprised no one recommended Late Autumn (2011) earlier... Both stories are completely different, but there are some similarities here and there.
Similarities
-same actress stars in both films
-(spoiler) forbidden relationship between a criminal, and an average guy
-there is a melancholic atmosphere in both films, and will make you sad/cry by the end
-(spoiler)both female leads are suspected/convicted of manslaughter
-both are tragedies in different ways
Differences
-the female lead in Late Autumn (2011) is clearly a good person just placed in unfortunate circumstances, while the female lead in Decision to Leave (2022) is more nefarious, and manipulative... It is clear that she is NOT to be trusted at all in that film.
- there is more of a mystery in Decision to Leave (2022) than Late Autumn (2011) about the female lead's character
-Late Autumn (2011) is more of a hopeful story than Decision to Leave (2022)... That could be my opinion tho

Shin Yoon Bok is a talented painter who disguises herself as a boy to search for her father's murderer and meets a master painter who guides her into being a great painter. Kim Hong Do is the man who teaches Yoon Bok how to paint, and they develop a strong friendship of mentor and disciple
Born to a family of established court painters, seven-year-old Yun Jeong is a young girl gifted at painting. However, the pressure is on her brother to carry on the proud family tradition, as women aren't allowed to become professional painters. While her brother trains to take his place in the court, Yun Jeong helps him out by secretly painting for him. The little girl's life is turned upside down when her brother kills himself. In order to preserve the family honor, she is forced to take her brother's name and lives as a man. Yun Bok's genius and talent capture the heart of another great master of the time, Kim Hong Do.
But her daring depictions of women are condemned by the royal institute as obscene. Yun Bok meets Kang Mu and falls deeply in love. For the first time, she feels the strong desire to abandon everything she has built and simply be a woman in front of the man she loves. Kang Mu sacrifices all for his love as well. Kim Hong Do, who loved the genius of his best student, ends up loving everything about her, and Seol Hwa, a Gisaeng at the courtesan house, possesses a love for Hong Do that turns into fatal jealousy. The secret behind Shin Yun Bok's masterpiece, Portrait of a Beauty, is finally revealed after 250 years of silence. Edit Translation

Both films take a very figurative, "artsy", vibes-based approach to their narratives and themes, and both rely on subtle allusions to history. Both films place queerness (as a transgressive way of doing sexuality) in relation to migration and shadows cast by past conflicts, and both films do interesting things with temporality and spatiality.
This may not appear similar, but you would definitely like Haunters (2010) if you enjoy A Man Who Was Superman (2008)
Similarities
-A humble average human finds himself called to save, and help other people
-The world is cruel and unkind in both stories
-Both are superhero stories, but not told in the conventional Marvel/DC way
-There is more of a realist perspective in both stories/the fantastical element is limited in both stories
-Both surprisingly are heartfelt with the moral of always helping others
Differences
- (Spoiler) The main leads DOES have superpowers in Haunters (2010), whereas, the main lead believes he is superman in A Man Who Was Superman (2008), in reality, he is just a regular man
-There is a villain in Haunters (2010), and he is a menace. There is technically no villain in A Man Who Was Superman (2008)
-The female lead is a cynic producer in A Man Who Was Superman (2008) while the female lead in Haunters (2010) is a sweet, average girl
-Haunters (2010) is darker than A Man Who Was Superman (2008) while A Man Who Was Superman (2008) will just make you cry
In my opinion, this could easily be a double-feature for both films interesting take of the superhero genre. I WISH there were more "superhero" stories like both these films... Ah well.

+ Leads meet as children and are friends/sweethearts

+ ML originally wants to take revenge against FL but ends up falling for her all over again and chasing her first
+ rich but sensitive ML, poor but strong FL
+ similar kind of jealous childish ML character
+ both have love triangle around the FL iirc

Similar in vibes and the chemistry is more mature and flirting of couple before they start dating is also same. The interactions between couple feel so natural like this drama.
