The Little Nyonya

A very similar setting, period, and aesthetics. I am thinking that if you like one, you might like the other!

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 FLs are selfless and mistreated by their families. Although The Little Nyonya spans across two generations both dramas revolve around feuds, lies and betrayals between family members. Both FLs through determination change their destiny despite the misfortune they encounter.

Both are remakes from The Little Nonya, of which Precious is more of the family setting in China and TLN (2020) is more closer to the original. Same actress Jeanette Aw acted as the main lead in Precious and the original The Little Nonya. And also Actor Dai Xiang Yu acted in all 3 dramas.

There is a lot of similarities between this two shows. The pace, evil characters, and even the leads. The female leads are strong and resilient but more so in TSOML and not Nyonya but there were still strong moments.
