ALON is a bromance while TWD has a het couple, but both shows focus on the investigations with a friend group/found family.
Both shows have a similar vibe, mystic elements mixed with detective work.
Both include a major case conspiracy.
In both shows the group tries to clear someone's name.
could list more, but don't want to give spoilers ^^
Difference: ALON ML is a scholar trying to join the justice system & Sherlock type & hinted neurodivergent; while TWD ML is at the beginning a more daredevil constable & capable fighter (but unable to fight for large parts of the show).

Another ancient investigative team led by two male detectives and a eunuch. The eunuch is a grey character very much like one of the two leads.
Unlikely friends solve mysteries together. There's bromance (MLC wins this one), interesting stories, hidden tribes and sorcery, the works. Good atmosphere, personal plot linking the MLs, good support cast in both cases.

Eight hundred years ago, Xie Lian was the Crown Prince of the Xianle kingdom, beloved by the citizens. He ascended to the Heavens at a young age of 17; however, due to unfortunate circumstances, he was quickly banished back to the mortal realm. Years later, he ascends again–only to be banished again a few minutes after his ascension.
Obsessive ML characters, a common theme of wanting justice (in different ways), both are period/costume mystery/judicial dramas, not a lot of predictible romance (of any type), good side-kicks to the main characters.
Also, great casts in both dramas, and very good production values.
