Same concept of a character popping out into the real world, female leads having to help them out and make sure they're not making a mess or being revealed due to their lack of identification.
Both films follow gay male leads navigating love and friendships. They have romantic and funny moments but theres also tragic elements and drama that partially also arises from one of the characters being in the closet. They share the same director as well.
Own voices mlm stories with cute romance and comedy bits. Theyre enjoyable and lighthearted and follow adult working men. Theres a couple with an age gap in both too.
Both tell a story about a humble intellectual's journey to become a great financial and banker.
Zhang Xincheng performance in The Justice was so awesome that in my opinion, he single handed-ly supported the drama.
You may like the light romance in War of Faith more than the frustrating fml in The Justice.
Romance aside, both drama were truly enjoyable.
++(imo) The Justice have more clear script and plot that it',s easier to follow and understood compared to War of Faith. When Wang Yi Bo's performance in WoF is undeniable outstanding, but we have Zhang XinCheng here. If you like WoF and have lingering feeling while waiting for next episode, The Justice is a good to kill the time.

It is also Adventurous journey of a an orphan child who becomes one of the strongest in the entire clan I think it had a little bit similarities and definitely recommend this one if you love Character development and strong ML.
