Written and directed by the same director. Although they're about 2 different themes, trust me, they have the same vibe. They take you through a fun, fascinating nostalgic trip with lovely characters and keep you smiling till the end.

- Both are Fluffy Japanese BL Specials about Men in their 30s & 40s that can only be watched after the Main Prequel.

- Both series show the aftermath of each couple's relationship after its final development in the Prequel.
- You feel a sense of closure as their relationship blossoms through little troubles into a Happily-Ever-After and it leaves a satisfactory warmth in your heart.

- both are gumiho related but MRIAG revolves more around this I would say
- both MLs want to become human and not an evil demon
- I rated MRIAG higher so you might like it more
- great chemistry between leads

Different but similar
- Lee Seung Gi is the male lead (playing a non-human character)
- Without giving spoilers, this has a similar kind of ending
- The fate/prophecy of the relationship between the leads is the same in both shows
- Great kisses (AKO has better ones though and more I think)
- Childhood connection

its a reality show with a lot of fun games , high class comedy and pure wholesomeness
even though 13 people together might sound a bit overwhelming, you'll see that they have an amazing chemistry that hits off perfectly! as you watch it you'll find yourself forgetting all the troubles and laughing along with them.

The mystical vibes are on point
- though gu family book is more mystical and based on mythology with the gumiho, the effects still give me similar vibes with eye colors and action/fight scenes that involve special effects.
- the romance between the two leads grow in proper pace, not rushed and you can feel the connection so I really enjoy this in both of stories

The main male lead starts off pretty weak but trains slowly to become the strongest in the drama. Fight scenes in both are climatic.

This story pattern same.in both drama female lead disguises herself as a man.This was so good, the perfect mix between romance, detective genre & action without being draggy or too dark, no nonsense misunderstandings, with strong and intelligent female lead, supporting (and even feminist) male lead, without no over the top evil people.

Main lead Wu lei with similar ambition and triumph
The two stories are similar in the 90s era of how young people fought their way to success
The two stories shows that time really will and How was china at that time with it's youth working so hard and enduring a lot of hardships
Both drama are Bromance drama but in a close comradery relationship
friendship is the base for both dramas

Both are about observing the participants and gauging their feelings for one another during the show.
Both are about relationships.

you are related but you don't know each other. as family members turn from strangers to family, all relationships strengthen in every aspect...
