Both stories feature an unpopular girl who becomes involved with a famous group of four 'bad boys' who are admired throughout their school. The FL initially has feelings for one of the boys while frequently clashing with the ML, but over time their relationship develops into romance.

They’re exactly the same. The characters, the time period, the setting, the backstories, the conflicts, the action, the cunning, the mind games, the investments, the strategy… it’s all so similar. Ahhhh, what a fantastic series. I have to say, watching both of them made me feel even more excited ? I love mind games. It’s just a matter of taste. Also, both male leads share the same psychological traits. I definitely recommend watching both series. Even the series soundtracks have similar tones)) they’ve made fantastic “OST” selections for both shows. I’m especially happy that I was the first to make this comparison))

Tam tam?na ayn?. Beden, zaman, mekan de?i?imi, hayat hikayeleri, çeki?meler, aksiyon, kurnazl?k, ak?l oyunlar?, yat?r?m, strateji hepsi benzer. Ahhhh nefis bir dizi. ?kisini de izlerken fazladan yükselmi? oldu?umu söylemem gerek? ak?l oyunlar?n? severim. Bu bir zevk meselesi. Ayr?ca her iki ba? rol erkek ayn? psikolojik karakter özellikleri ta??yor. ?ki diziyi de mutlaka izleyin derim. Dizi müzikleri bile benzer notalarda)) harika "OST" seçimleri yapm??lar her iki dizi için de öyle. Bu benzetmeyi ilk ben yapt???m için ayr?ca çok mutlu oldum))

The FL & ML in bothe the dramas are very smart and scheming.
Both have revenge plans.
The Glory is a little more darker than TFJ.
Also, The Glory has minimal romance. Whereas, in TFJ, the romance is more visible.

- Gender role reversal themes in both (matriarchy and mpreg in BM, mpreg in HE)
- Mpreg
- Douchebag ML that becomes a better person
- Social commentary on gender discrimination

in BM the ML travels to an alternate universe where all gender roles are reversed while in HE the ML gets unexpectedly pregnant in the real world.

This drama doesn't directly connect to the others, but the plot structure is pretty much the same. Here's what I mean:
| It starts with the main lead getting poisoned – and on top of that, he's a skilled swordsman with a solid reputation in the Jiang Hu World.
| The story focuses on solving weird cases, like a mystery?of?the?week format, but with martial arts.
| The characters travel around the martial arts world – lots of wandering, visiting different places, and getting into trouble along the way.
| They gather a group of companions, slowly building a team of friends who fight together.
| Searching for herbal medicine to cure the main lead's poison, which keeps hanging over the whole plot.
| The romance is almost non?existent – the drama barely touches on love. It's almost entirely focused on the friendship between the three main characters.
| Honestly, the three leads in each drama have nearly identical personalities too – like, you've seen one, you've seen the others.

In both dramas one of the ML dad is very restrictive and homophobic. In both dramas the ML struggles to follow his heart because he feels obligated to do as his father wishes. This effects the relationship in both dramas and this is an essential plot point for that ML character growth.

In both dramas the other ML is looked down upon because of their work which is considered trashy. They are sweet and kind and have been taken advantage of in the past.

Human x mythical being . This is a vampire x human drama. I feel is much better than flower boy when it comes to execution. Also both leads are green flags.

This is also a human x mythical being kinda drama so i am recommending it.... has the kinda fairy tale premise where the player falls for this innocent being kinda

Same vibes...
Ancient Magic & Modern Romance... Both shows use a supernatural object or spell from the Joseon era that directly impacts the present-day romance.
Also both have Fated Lovers..., Love-hate relationship, Wealthy man/poor woman

Very similar except it is adults in an Education Organisation that go to a different school every episode to deal with different forms of bullying. It's a great combination of action, thriller, comedy and minor trope of romance!!

The FLs are very similar:
*Both are 'illegitimate daughters' who joined their families around 7-10 years & caused a lot of tension & heartache to their stepmothers
*Both FLs are sharp, successful, no-nonsense, attention-loving business women admired, feared, & respected by all
*Both FLs outshine their brothers, against all stereotypes, and are obviously better candidates to take over their families' business empires
*Both FLs put in work on their 'forbidden' relationships, & end up with tall, handsome guys who are totally crazy about them
