:- same FL
:- FL grows up to be independent, trying to ensure their survival instead of relying on others. FL is witty, smart and sharp in both the dramas.
:- In both dramas, FL has a difficult childhood. (lived without parents)
:- Revenge plot for ML (family exterminated due to plotting)
:- Misunderstandings between ML and FL leading to angst
However, in The Story of Pearl Girl, the FL is determined to live independently and make her own way into business world while in Love Like the Galaxy, there is no such plotline.
But the FL in both dramas have some sort of similar outlook towards life.
(Note: Love Like the Galaxy has 2nd part too)

If you are into the business vibe drama, you will 100 percent love The Story of Pearl Girl. I found the similarities of how both the female thrives to make their business successful starting from scratch. They are both strong and smart at doing businesses. However tsopg is a bit heavy compared to flourished peony and focus more on revenge but mainly in business. Despite all the different, tsopg is worth giving a try to to move on from flourished peony if you are having an after watch effect.

When My Dearest leaves you stranded — heart still aching, breath still shallow — The Story of Pearl Girl offers a quieter continuation of the same longing.
Both are woven from loyalty, loss, and the aching weight of choices made too late.
Where My Dearest scorches, Pearl Girl lingers — a story that doesn't rush to heal you, but lets you carry the echoes of love across a lifetime.

Main Leads : Dilreba Dilmurat (Legend Of Anle) & Leo Wu Lei (Love Like The Galaxy)
Second Leads : Zhao Lu Si (The Romance Of Tiger And Rose) & Liu Yuning (The Prisoner Of Beauty)
- Both female leads are strong & smart
- Similar vibes about revenge for family
- Travel to other provinces and central plaines
- Huge diversity of likeable characters
Though The Long Ballad is slightly older (2021) its storyline doesn't lack of anything and is as good as new today. I recommend watching first TLB and then TSPG, which will make the second leads of TLB become main in TSPG.
