Love Like the Galaxy: Part 1 (2022)

These shows share almost no similarities in storyline or genre but they both parody their own genre while also maintaining a great plot of their own and both can make you laugh in the middle of the most serious scenes out of sheer absurdity. Bother are female-driven dramas with complex and interesting characters that have strong convictions and motivations behind all their decisions no matter good or bad. Lots of lessons about family, marriage, and children. Before LLTG I had been struggling to move past the masterpiece that is Sky Castle. People who enjoy clever humor and quality writing will without a doubt enjoy them both.

both have:
- favored general that holds much military power
- the general is feared and considered a dark knight
- arranged marriage by order of the emperor
- unwanted marriage by the FL (and her family)
- emperor favors the general
- hidden political plots

They have very similar style of humor. The heroines/heroes in both stories are very unique and hilarious in their own ways. Yet despite the humor, both stories managed to also be full of drama, intrigue and very heartfelt.

Amazing couples chemistry and historical dramas. Both have battle going on in the background with the main leads fighting to solve their own problems.

it's been a year since FIYS.
While Love like Galaxy seems a farfetched recommendation, i recognised Sun Kai (Xiao Pang) actor playing as a supporting actor to Leo Wu.
Equally funny

Both have a smart female lead who schemes to make her life better. There’s a little crime solving in both. The FLs have multiple suitors and they have significant relationships with the SMLs, not just one sided pining. They have a similar flavor

Proud, independent female with great fighting skills and no-nonsense, direct approach, who has a supporting, loving family. Male lead is elegant and handsome, aparently gentle and educated, but has a hidden secret story and purpose. Palace fighting for power. Male lead confess first ?
