If you liked the plot of My Father is a Hero, you may also enjoy watching Fight Against Evil. While the plot of both movies wasn't quite the same, it still featured the story of a cop who would do everything in their power to fight bad guys while also protecting their loved ones. And as much as Kung Wei and Li Hongqi were nothing alike, both of them also worked as undercover cops. Also, an interesting fact to note is that Xie Miao, who played Jet Li's character's son in My Father is a Hero, also played Li Hongqi in Fight Against Evil. So if you're curious as to what it could be like for Kung Wei's son Kung Ku to grow up to become a police officer like his father... you don't need to look so far, and watch the story of Li Hongqi.

Both are chinese sismance set in republic era.
FL in both finds out her husband/bf is cheating on her with another woman, and the woman gets murdured shortly after and that is how the journey begins.

The female lead in the movie can also see ghosts and keeps her distance from people until she meets a magician. Both struggle to find balance to their growing interest in each other. This movie has horror, comedy, romance and so much more.

At 17, Wen Heng who was an adopted child, was finally found by her biological parents and brought back to the family home in Beijing. There, she tries to adjust to her new life with her new family but problems occur when her adopted sister felt threatened by her presence and started throwing tantrums. In an effort to keep the peace in the family, Wen Heng was asked to move into a family friend's house next door. There, Wen Heng meets Yan Xi and the two of them slowly start to grow closer as they live together and go to school together. But this happy life didn't last long when Yan Xi has to return to America to be with his sick mother.

When he was 3 years old, Jun Xi caused his real sister to be switched with another baby. 12 years later, the truth resurfaces due to a car accident. En Xi who has become his sister goes back to her family while his real sister Xin Ai returns.

As the plot unravels, all of the small pieces fall into place. Completely unrelated and unexpected things turn out to be connected. Both of these are really funny, campy, and smart. The stories wrap up with no loose ends and have "feel good" endings.

Both are comedies about a group of people discussing the circumstances of a death with the goal of uncovering the truth.

Both are BL dramas with enemies-to-lovers, studious loner MC x popular slacker ML school romances that start with the ML bullying/harassing the MC until they gradually fall for each other.

Two childhood friends with a unique connection from a small village move to the big city where they become lovers. In Xiao Fang, they become pregnant. In Welcome to Samdal-ri they separate. However, in both dramas they have to move back to the small village when dealing with consequences in life. Humor, healing, love, loss, sadness, retribution, anger... all and more seem like they will be fair game in this drama.

reminded me of lltg a bit
- Han dynasty
- 2ml who waits for the fml but doesn’t confess till the end
- fml likes someone else before ml
- general ml, scholarly 2ml

personalities of the ml are a bit different, but both continue to pursue the fml and are open about their feelings

Both are dark, serious, and emotionally intense.
The leads are both carrying a lot of trauma.
The chemistry is all in the tension and lingering looks instead of being overly cute.
The romance feels slow, complicated, and a little dangerous.
Both have that "I shouldn't fall for you, but I can't help it" energy.

- characters in both have supernatural powers
- a traumatic event in past
- male leads in both have the kinda similar vibe

Similar university setting, with both leads being from different departments but somehow stumbling their way into working with each other.

Similar story, the ML doesn't believe in magic or prophecy but the FL is a young shaman who warn and protect the lead from his misfortune

Both are movies about two (queer) guys who have a kind of complicated relationship. Theyre kind of confused about their feelings but attracted and drawn to eachother
Lots of dance sequences
Similar vibes, 10dance in particular has some scenes that are very reminiscent of Wong Kar Wais direction style
