A premissa é extremamente parecida com esses três dramas, mas talvez pela mudança de tio para irmão de consideração o drama Teng Ta Ru Gu não se enquadre em adaptações lançadas do web novel "Tao De Xiao Jie Geng" by Tian Tao Yao Yao.
Mas se você gostou de uma, pode ser que goste desta.

Mas considero o "Her Little Balloon Flower" muito superior.

"A Woman" is the story of a woman storyteller who did not get the chance to go study, but was confined to factory work, until her talent gained her a second chance for life, leaving behind the shackles of dreary work and unwanted marriage and motherhood. As many "scars generation" stories it is somber, but tells of an indomitable spirit.

It does resonate with the heartaches of Fei Ni in the drama, when she is repeatedly rebuked and discouraged from wishing to become a student and read her fill of books.

Unfortunately, this Wang Chao movie may be difficult to find outside Chinese movies festivals featuring famous writer-directors work. It is based on a semi-autobiographical novel Dream (Meng, ?) by Zhang Xinzhen which still has not been translated into English or other languages.

A short trailer can be found on YouTube.

The 2002 movie was also a heartfelt account with humor and heartaches about city youth sent away to be "reeducated through labor with the peasants" but who did not give up their yearning for education, college, and art. It is largely autobiographical, so gives valuable insights on some parts of the drama (such as what movies were watched by the Chinese at the time, apart from "revolutionary opera movies" : Korean movies, war movies from "socialist countries"...). The drama, and the novel Love Story in the 1970s, are a "softer take" on the struggles and joys of the "scars generation".

Balzac and the Little Chinese Seamstress, the award winning 2000 novel, written in French, was a best seller and has been translated into more than 25 languages. It draws on the memories of author Dai Sijiie (born in 1954) from the years he spent in a re-education camp in rural Sichuan from 1971 to 1974 during the Cultural Revolution.

The movie, featuring Zhou Xun as FL, Chen Kun and Liu Ye as MLs, adapted and directed by the author "received several nominations, including a Golden Globe nomination for Best Foreign Language Film (2003), a Golden Horse Award nomination for Best Adapted Screenplay (2003), and a Hong Kong Film Award nomination for Best Asian Film (2004). It also won the NBR Award for Top Foreign Films (2005)." It can be watched with English subtitles on https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KUySDK5cpy4

So, if humor and chaos of being in the wrong body were your favorite parts, this is a must-watch. The story is about a modern-day male chef whose soul is trapped in the body of a Joseon-era queen. While it's similar, it's arguably the gold standard for historical body-swap dramas. The comedy is top-tier, and the clash of personalities between the wild queen and the secretive king is legendary.

Both dramas share the same core conflict: the police's war against drug gangs. In each work, we find police officers working under massive psychological and professional pressure. The heroine in The Devil Between Us faces her childhood friends who got involved with drugs, while in Stealth Walker, the policewoman works undercover inside a dangerous gang. Both dramas focus on "psychological infiltration": how a person can live a double life between duty and personal feelings. Personal relationships are complicated in both cases, and the price is high. The atmosphere is similar in their realistic portrayal of investigations and dangers, and the message is clear: drugs are everyone's enemy, and the police pay a heavy price for their sacrifice.

Both dramas share the same world: the world of drugs, crime, and police investigations. Each story takes place in a small town where personal relationships are complicated and everyone knows everyone. The main characters in both shows are police officers fighting drug gangs, but the real conflict isn't just in the field it's internal: between professional duty and personal feelings. In The Devil Between Us, the heroine faces her childhood friends who got involved with drugs. In The First Shot, the special task force members have pasts and old relationships that get complicated as the investigation progresses. Both works focus on the human dimension, showing how drugs destroy not just addicts but everyone around them. The atmosphere is similar, the investigations feel real, and the message is the same: drugs are poison, and those who traffic them show no mercy.

Both series (The Rebel and Taxi Driver and sequels) feature vigilantes operating outside the law. The ML in both series is part of an organization or gang that carries out acts of justice on behalf of others. Both Hong Gildong and Kim Do Gi employ similar techniques to deceive villains (disguises, posing as their employee/servant to gain their trust, etc.). Both series feature plenty of action, and The Rebel also includes a small fantasy element.
