Both have detective work and romance. I would say Under the Power is more focused on the detective work whereas Maiden Holmes is more fluffy and focuses more on the romance. Both are very good shows!

I would say the main characters are fairly simular though the FL in UTP seems like a cry baby at times. It also has the investigation element since they try to solve cases together

Never made a recommendation before, but I feel like you would like Under the power if you like the good vibes the leads in love like the galaxy give. We can' t compare budgets, but the story and leads are equally captivating. What made me get over Under the power was love like the galaxy!

Both dramas are about seeking justice for crimes. Both have wuxia and a lot of action. Both have a greater evil the heroes are fighting against.

Similarly, a ML who works for the government and tortures criminals, and a strong, independent FL who is a great support to her peers. The couple also have mutual respect for each other. The trajectory of A Dream of Splendor also is heading in the same direction.

A quirky female Investigator matches up with a strong, but somewhat cold male lead. Together they solve crimes, and uncover conspiracies. Somehow they fall in love along the way.

Both has detective factors as one of the main point. The plots are well structured and some eps are quite suspenseful. Both have great MLs with phenomenal acting. FLs in these also bear great heroine characteristics, i.e. strong-minded, witty smart, good-natured, and soft-hearted.
While Under the Power has much brighter mood and ending, Luoyang is unmatched in some other aspects and also humanistically meaningful.

both are Ancient detective shows to do with murder cases. they pretty much start the same way investigating cases and solving mysterious deaths. under the power deals more with the political side whereas the detective deals more with the investigation and autopsy part.
