- Both are psychological thrillers
- Both are killer-centric (the plot is centered around one killer)
- Both detectives are close w the killer
- Both killers see themselves as above others
- Mouse is a must-watch if you even just kinda like crime/mystery thrillers

Devotional love and dependency is the theme in the main relationship of both dramas, both stories feature couples where one ML is completely devoted but the other ML refuses to see it because of his own insecurity and because the ML doesn't say it outright.

Something about 1% is about a contract relationship that the male lead and the female lead enter into because the male lead’s grandfather meets the female lead and thinks she would be a good match for his grandson. In Cinderella and the four knights the male lead’s grandfather meets the female lead and believes she could help guide her grandsons and enters into a contract

Similarities: Republican era. Young woman engaged to father of the ML. Sexy tension between FL/ML. Revenge agendas. Notable: Same Director who directed “Blossom” and Pursuit of Jade” and “A Familiar Stranger”
