Both have very smart female leads.

In The Glory, FL returns from her adoptive family to her own house to seek the truth.
In Coroner's Diary, FL disguises herself as another person and enters their family to seek the truth.

In both dramas, the ML is influential and is helping the FL with her plans and revenge.

Both dramas are of dark themes

Both shows have in common:
- are BL
- about actors, film industry and filmmaking
- falling in love within the industry and it's difficulties
- damn beautiful and clever cinematography and visual storytelling
- explicit NC scenes
- some kink here and there

differences:

Deep In is about well seasoned actors and the characters they play in a gay movie. How they get closer on cam, off cam and on set while reality and fiction melts into each other. Which they both, as assumed straight guys, struggle with a lot. It feels really like watching RPF where BL actors fall in love for real.

Payback is about a guy who wants to take revenge on his evil ex who ruined his life, who is now a popular actor. So he wants to dethrone him no matter what he has to do for it but starts with 0 knowledge about acting. It's less about acting but more about the film industries dark and ugly sides. But still has a lot of beauty and love in it. The main gets involved (and falls in love) with someone powerful and influential within the media company who helps with his revenge.
