Believe in Love is a drama involves marriage aswell the guy helped the Female Lead because the Female Leads father is sick .. Another thing is that in Believe in Love it also involves an Evil mother concubine..

Both female leads in both drama are goal driven to achieve success on their own and make their own names..

Believe in Love is a very cute, sweet and beautifull drama as well that maybe you want to try..

Smart and Strong FL and ML. Involves rebels, fighting, recovering cities, and returning peace to the world. Similar vibes except FL is a general in WOL and FL is a business owner in Destined. They all grow to become soulmates. All of them want the world to be at peace and they work towards that goal.

The dynamic is more on what kind of similar character development we see in both leads.

- Higher background but bad reputation Male Lead - Playboy/ruffian, seen as the black sheep of the fam and seem as irredeemable study wise.
- Low background Female Lead - Both pursue their ambition with Hubby support
- Both dramas start off with the wrong marriage
- Both Leads slowly work through marriage

Difference - The setting of drama is not aligned. One is set in a bigger city facing diverse range of people and drama. The other is in a small governed area and daily interactions with the common people.

- Strong FL (physically strong in OMG, strong of character in Destined)
- ML is rich, spoiled and pampered and has a similar group of troublemaker friends
- Girlboss x Malewife
- Arranged/forced marriage (ML is the most reluctant to marry)
- ML matures and becomes very affectionate and supportive of FL
- Healthy mains relationship that become a power couple

Both are historical dramas that begin with the FL having a fiancée and plan for life and then her fiancée backing out of the marriage. She then becomes stronger from the setback and sets out to accomplish her goals.

While one is Chinese and the other Korean they reminded me of each other for the growth in the characters. Destined has an immature rich male lead that learns and grows through marriage and a war while My Dearest has an immature rich female lead that suffers through war and grows and changes.

Both dramas have male leads that will do anything for the female lead. Both show the ravages of war on the people and the court. Both have strong and loyal side characters.

Differences are that My Dearest shows a much more gruesome side that can be hard to watch while Destined is more slice of life with hardships sprinkled in. However the character growth in both gives the same kind of vibe to me and I think if you liked one you would probably like the other.

Very similar with the palace and political conflicts. Both the male and female lead characters are or become righteous and influential with strong moral compasses. Both female leads may seem weak at first but they quickly change and become strong, quick thinking, decisive, and upright women. Both men show loyalty and bravery.

If you enjoy a well constructed plot and characters you can really root for; not just the leads but also many of the people surrounding them; then you will love both these series.
