Same story, but personally prefer "Cang Bu Zhu De Gai Bai" because the leads suit my taste better and less complicated.

"Bo, Qin Yi Xia" has more conflicts, and build more on their background/ past connections. The stepmother is also a more sympathetic character, though still viscous.

Both are movies featuring queer highschool boys who are navigating their feelings, life etc. The mood seems kind of sad. Theyre directed by the same person too.

Case of the week format: Both series feature protagonists who solve a new problem in each episode. In "Oh My Ghost Clients," these are the legal cases of the deceased, while in "Shin's Project," they are conflicts that require mediation.
?Detective element: Despite their different genres, both protagonists (attorney Noh Mu Jin and master negotiator Mr. Shin) engage in investigations to get to the bottom of an issue and help their "clients."
?Combination of comedy and serious topics: Both dramas blend comedic elements with discussions of serious social issues. "Oh My Ghost Clients" touches on labor rights, and "Shin's Project" deals with communication and conflict resolution in modern society.
?Trio team: In both series, the main character doesn't work alone but as part of a team. Noh Mu Jin gets help from his sister-in-law and a video director, while Mr. Shin works with a young judge and a delivery person.

_Same ML...
_Powerful FLs...
_Cheng Yi playing 2 different roles... One of them has white hair...
_Great story
_In JOF, ML transmigrates to book world / in IS, ML experiences life as a mortal with no memories of his true identity
_ML's white haired role is mostly misunderstood

Watch both parts of Immortal Samsara... story is continued without a time-gap.... the white haired character comes in the 2nd part...

If you like Destiny and Reincarnation / Time travel tropes this is another one you might like! Reset is a story with a plot where Armin and Tada goes back to the past while UWMA js where Pharm and Dean is reincarnated in the future to be together due to the difficulties in their original time line. so many instances where their original timeline meets the present and so many connection. You would love the story line so much! in UWMA both Pharm and Dean get flashbacks of their past slowly unlike Armin who has a full memory. But something has pulled them together and they fall in love again! It's definitely one of my top must watch and recommended !!

Essentially the same script, feels like "Xin Dong Huan Qing Gao Su Wo" has slightly better production value than "Heartbeat".

Variation:
Title: Wo Dou Ai Zheng Wan Wi Le, Fen Yi Dian Zhen Me Le
Direct Translation: I'm in the late stages of cancer, so what if I'm a little crazy?"
ML: Da Bao
FL: Yao Yuchen

Good comparison of the 3 aforementioned versions on Red Note:
"""
1. "I'm in the late stage of cancer, so what if I'm a bit crazy?"
Starring: Yao Yuchen & Da Bao

Core Conflict: After being diagnosed with late-stage cancer, Lin Jian completely breaks free from her restrained self and rebels against family oppression and marital cold violence in a "crazy" manner. She publicly exposes her husband Fu Jincuan's hypocritical facade, tears down his mistress, and even humiliates the Fu family in public, ultimately achieving self-redemption.

Character Development:
Lin Jian: Transforms from a restrained puppet of a wealthy family into a rebellious figure who dares to love and hate, using extreme behavior to fight against fate and pursue freedom in the final stage of life.
Fu Yuchuan (Fu Jincuan): Initially cold and selfish, later becomes desperate to win back his wife after she loses her memory.

Plot Features: Dense melodramatic elements (such as amnesia, running away with a child, the second male lead failing to rise to power), forced happy ending.

2. "Xin Dong Huan Qing Gao Su Wo"
Starring: Chen Jinghe & Han Lujin

Core Conflict: Lin Jian is forced to play the role of a socialite and marry into the Fu family due to oppression from her original family. Her late-stage cancer becomes the catalyst for her to break free from her shackles. Not only does she resolve disputes with her birth family, but she also helps Fu Yuchuan eliminate internal family conflicts, ultimately achieving mutual growth.

Character Development:
Lin Jian: Combines rationality with explosive power, showcasing business acumen in dire straits, using "going crazy" as a weapon against various oppressions.
Fu Yuchuan: Moves from an interest-driven marriage to becoming a partner, later resorting to extreme measures (such as kidnapping the villain to let Lin Jian vent) to protect his wife.

Plot Features: Weakens traditional tragic romance, emphasizes political intrigue; the ending leans towards reality, with both facing illness and family crises together, without explicitly stating their survival or death.

3. "Heartbeat"
Starring: Wang Kaimu & Guo Yuxin

Core Conflict: Lin Jian counts down her terminal illness, while Fu Yuchuan realizes his mistake after losing her. The male lead undergoes a bone marrow transplant to save his wife, facing life-and-death tests, along with power struggles within the wealthy family.

Character Development:
Lin Jian: Focuses more on vulnerability, as a traditional "perfect wife," she awakens her self-awareness due to her terminal illness, transforming from dignified restraint to vibrant exuberance.
Fu Yuchuan: A rational and restrained leader, initially indifferent to his wife due to family interests, later attracted by her true personality, embarking on a desperate pursuit.

Plot Features: This version intensifies the subtlety of post-marriage daily interactions, weakens melodramatic revenge plots, focusing on the progression of the main characters' emotions and personal growth, praised as "a more realistic portrayal of wealthy family narratives." Ends with a happy ending.

Summary
All three versions are based on "terminal illness + marital predicament," but present radically different values: "Cancer Late Stage" emphasizes extreme liberation of the individual, "Xin Dong Huan Qing Gao Su Wo" focuses on rational breakthroughs and mutual redemption, while "Heartbeat" returns to traditional tragic romance.
