Both original novels of these two series carry quite realistic, dark and gory undertones. Like it would depict deaths, murders and corpses in a shuddering, gruesome manner (for both bad guys and good guys alike). They censored and tone down this aspect of the story when they adapted them into TV dramas, but they still try to show/hint at the darkness in the characters and story.
Both series were very closely adapted from their novel version, so I believe this is one of the many reasons why they became such a hit.
The difference is one is bromance/boys' love while the other is romance. One is wuxia and the other is not.

Beyond evil is bromance and The Untamed is bromance/bl. Both show has definitely dark side and humoristic part. Also, in both show we can see 'finding the truth and noticing long time victims'. Dynamic between leads are similar in these shows. Two of them are super good quality shows, definitely recommend
I'm still remember the first time I watched this movie, I thought "The tension between the male leads is kind of intense omg?"
The bromance between Qi Ling and Silver is so cute, periodt (Master-Disciple relationship). They really look good together. This has the drama version as well but I don't really like the drama version that much.
Qi Ling (Played by Cheney Chen) works as a busboy when some suspicious guests, of which one professes to be a member of Noble Lords, bring havoc to the inn. Killed by a vicious creature which resembles a white lion with wings, Qi Ling is saved and resurrected by the Noble Lord named Silver Priest (Played by Kris Wu). Silver Priest tells the young man that he has chosen Qi Ling to become his disciple and successor as a Noble Lord.

*both are from the same novel writer for the Untamed ( Mo Xiang Tong Xiu)
*both are a wuxia
*The original 'novel' its a danmei/BL
*From the beginning to end it will make you crack up
* Donghua version
Scum villain’s self saving system is a comedic webnovel that is about Shen Yuan who, by an accident is transmigrated into the scum villain of a Stallion novel which is the exact same scum villain, Shen Qingqiu, who will meet a brutal death at the end of the novel by the protagonist’s hands (Luo Binghe). He realizes that in order to survive, in order to fix the plot, he must fix his relationship with Luo Binghe first.

I watched many c drama and still continue to watching but I only recommend both of these series because they are outstanding /Fabulous the whole story plot including the whole casting every character make your attention each and every scene create curiosity what will next happen there is no comparison between the two of them but when I think about the outstanding series just two name come in my mind
Similarities
1)Outstanding Chemistry between the main lead including face expression its very tough to impress by face expression
2) Investigation and link between the cases
3) The two main lead not like each other but best friend in the end who sacrifice their own life for other
4)Create miss understanding between each other to protect his partner from evil
5) Royal Image many people follow him (in Untamed Lan Zhan has a personality and in under the power Lu Yi has that image)
6) Story of main lead background impact on his present life
I still finding another series like both of above
There are many but the standard are not high like The Untamed and Under The Power

RotCH (or any of the versions: 1983, 1995, 2006, etc.) is really similar in terms of:
- MC is an anti-hero that is misunderstood by others for their heretic/unorthodox ways
- plot talks about their journey, from childhood to adulthood and how they resolve their conflicts 16 years later (YES, both have a time-skip of exactly 16 years)
- themes of friendship, justice, righteousness, family, revenge, etc.
what's different is that there's romance in RotCH

1) Male protagonists (Lan Ling Prince/PoLL and Wei Wu Xian/TU) wear a mask each.
2) Protagonists in both dramas (Yang Xue Wu/PoLL and Wei Wu Xian/TU) share the same sunny, cheerful, inventive disposition with a courageous, righteous and resolute heart to protect the weak and also loved ones. Perhaps so similar that there are actually two similar scenes: https://kisskh.at/profile/whatever_weus/feeds/kDb5RFJ
3) Relationships (kinships, friendships) between the characters in both dramas touched me - tissues may come in handy at a number of points in the dramas
4) Similar in style and pace with a mix of laughters, tears, angsts
5) Elaborate costumes, filming locations and world building
6) Beautiful and meaningful OSTs
Note for TU: TU while adopted from a bl novel, portrayed the male leads as confidants with strong brotherhood, and only bits of queer subtle for the experienced bl enthusiasts, in respect to the original bl novel. Chinese censorship has transcended the bl novel into a critical series showcasing Chinese culture, music, sceneries, costumes, intriguing plot on the protagonist’s ordeals going against society, using unorthodox methods to fight evil and help the weak.
