I feel like the themes are quite similar—Shadow Beauty is a little darker, but when you compare the pictures, it almost looks like a copycat.
Even though both dramas include some romance, it’s never the main focus. The real emphasis is on social media and the internet, and how they influence and control the people around you and your life.
