`in both dramas,the fl seems coldhearted while the ml is more on the kinder and selfless side
`mcs have some kind of trauma that they overcome together,also a childhood connection
`enemies to lovers!
both great dramas above the 8/10 scale that are worth your time and if u enjoyed one then theres a high chance that you will enjoy the other due to their similarities

Both dramas have a similar dynamic between the main couples - the FLs are in a position of higher power but her life is constantly at risk and there is no one she can trust, and the MLs are her devoted bodyguards with a secret royal identity.

Both are short dramas in a historical setting. The FLs are spirited and in a position of power, and the MLs are her loyal, often suffering bodyguards/servants.

It's also written by Jin Yong, and the style is really similar. It's also overall a really good show compared to some of the other adaptations of Jin Yong's works.

Both original novels of these two series carry quite realistic, dark and gory undertones. Like it would depict deaths, murders and corpses in a shuddering, gruesome manner (for both bad guys and good guys alike). They censored and tone down this aspect of the story when they adapted them into TV dramas, but they still try to show/hint at the darkness in the characters and story.

Both series were very closely adapted from their novel version, so I believe this is one of the many reasons why they became such a hit.

The difference is one is bromance/boys' love while the other is romance. One is wuxia and the other is not.

Both dramas are about arranged marriage, first love (first wife) that returns, the male lead is constantly putting a female lead as second priority or even forgetting on her / missing dinner date, theatre date... But the love between them is just growing...

Both dramas focus on the challenges faced by smart women in competitive, cutthroat workplaces, and both have a good romance that isn't the main point of the drama.

"Love between Fairy and Devil" together with "Alchemy of Souls" are the best dramas of the season, they are not exactly the same, they both have great OSTs, but they also share the theme of an impossible love story set in a magical world.

Similar in few aspects
Good chemistry between the Leads
