If you like, smart ML with an assassin girlfriend and a martial genius best friend (fantastic bromance) who falls in love with a spy - all the while solving crimes that lead to the greater mystery of who he is this is the show for you! Comedy, Romance, Martial Arts, Clever and Fun watch Ancient Detective!




Both dramas are centered around martial arts and have elements of mystery and action as well as some romance. Also, they both have male leads that appear at times to be weaker than the females. If you like martial arts and mystery dramas, but are looking for something a bit shorter than Legend of Fei, Ancient Detective is a good option, because it's interesting, of a similar production quality to Legend of Fei, and could serve as a good in-between show to watch while waiting for the rest of Legend of Fei to premiere.

Although AD is more of an investigation style and Agatha Christie vibe but there are some similarities. (But Ancient Detective is better on those in my opinion.)
•The male lead who can't fight but uses his intelligence.
•The relatively more cheerful 2nd male lead who fights alongside ML and protects him (And they become friends right away).
•The female lead who knows how to fight and protects the male lead.
•The love between the 2nd male lead and the 2nd female lead is similar to the love between Lei Wu Jie and Ruo Yin.

- historic setting
- both main leads are super smart, has their own backstory
- interesting plot lines and mysteries that just makes the audience want to know more
- developed side characters (both dramas have really cool side leads that makes you fall in love with them)
DIFFERENCES:
- Miss S is female lead-based; smart & strong, no-nonsense personality but also hilarious
- Ancient Detective has a more serious atmosphere with a bit of humor in it
Totally reccomend! Miss S has a lighter atmosphere compare to Ancient Detective but both are really good in their own ways.
