The Sleuth of Ming Dynasty

Both are based on the China dynasty period.
The difference is that, TSOMD is mainly a detective show where they solve case by case but eventually saving the emperor from rebellion. It focuses more on the thing that happen around the royal Palace.
As for nirvana in fire, they focus more on the things that happen in the royal Palace, and the main character is trying to help the Prince becoming the next emperor. You'll see the details about how the emperor works, their concubines and the way the Princes are trying to get their hand on the throne.
Both are equally nice, tho the goal is different.

Very sophisticated emphasis on fathering, mental health and trauma among the male characters and demonstrates how care - both collective and individual is the path to healing

Similarly under-rated and under discovered but an excellent addition to the Chinese BL league of greats. Great in that they’re speaking to the historical period they’re embedded in but also making reference to the big questions about human societies and intimate relations we face in life today.

Committed more to substance than style, an ensemble cast where the significantly meaningful character arcs are more than 10 deep and there’s no way you’re missing the final episode as it maintains viewer emotional investment throughout.

I might actually now add Nirvana and Fire to this list of similarly rewarding but under-watched complex and brilliantly narrated Chinese dramas among BL enjoyers

Both dramas have a historical setting where mysteries and political intrigue flourish.
TSOMD has 3 main protagonists - an imperial guard, a minister and a detective while Luoyang also has 3 protagonists - an imperial guard, a minister and a mortician.
And most importantly in both dramas the protagonists love food!?

• Both revolve around the Ming Dynasty
• Both are investigation dramas
• Smart MLs
• Adapted from a novel

Like The Untamed also adapted from novel and features BL characters. Bromance is major plot line in the drama. Like Untamed also focuses on crime solving but both of them are on different level.

They are Chinese costume drama's that focus around the two male lead characters, who are in a beautiful bromance. Both are based on LGBTQIA+ books, but were censored because of the way China works.

Both are historical dramas with a strong bromance between the MLs who work together to solve strange and complex mystery cases. One of the MLs is a talented cook.

Es una serie basada en un libro BL.
Aunque no haya romance, los tres protagonistas se profesan un gran Amor, evidentemente camuflado con compañerismo, son capaces de dar la vida los unos por los otros.
Los casos detectivescos son interesantes, los personajes principales te atrapan junto con los secundarios , todos forman una familia alrededor de la comida, un ingrediente importantísimo en esta serie, si la ven lo entenderán.
La música es muy buena.

Another historical drama with Darren Chen as the male lead. Both drams are about investigating and finding the truth.

Both shows are focused on solving mysterious and strange cases in a historical setting. The main leads are male with jobs in the ministry of crime/punishments. There are multiple detective stories all tied up by a larger overarching story which is solved in the finale. There is little to no romance in both shows.

The detectives in both dramas are happy-go-lucky sort of fellows that get serious when a mystery catches their fancy and cannot suffer injustice silently.
TSOMD is a Chinese historical detective series with no romance but is quite similar to SRI&Joy in the sense that the story creates a relaxed atmosphere rampant with mysteries and a subtle undercurrent of court intrigue.

Entertaining big families that come close to heart.
The way both dramas deal with family-only dynamics is peaceful.
Full of comedy.
Heart-filling romances.
Double in-law couples.

Both dramas about the royal court affairs
and detective investigations
Both have Bromance between male leads I think

If you want more bromance dramas in ancient china times, then this is worth checking out.
I love the special relationship between the three different main characters, a powerful eunuch, a low ranked official, and an imperial guard. They are so different but work together so well, worth checking out.
