Bound by Sin

Both are republican settings.

Scheming seductive FL!

Both ML are soldiers, though ML in Guns & Roses is a high-ranked War Lord.

Both ML have this innocence to them.

In both dramas they get separated by the war.

Both are set during republican era.

Different vibe in both stories, neverthless entertaining love-stories with sexy scenes!

Both Male leads are incredibly smitten with FL and fantazises about them in ehhhh that way.

- Similar FL types
- ML is FL's subordinate (bodyguard in BbS, disciple in ID)
- Fast paced romance with lots of kisses
- FL is engaged to SML who wants her to gain something from her
- Kinda toxic romance
- Angsty
- Role reversal themes (more prevalent in BbS)
- Same FL actress

Main differences are the plot. BbS is a revenge romance while ID is a xianxia romance. BbS also does a lot more role reversal while ID has some RR moments but for the most part isn't.

Similar vibe with bold female lead and innocent, cold male lead. Both dramas share a comparable dynamic a strong, confident female lead paired with a reserved, emotionally distant male lead. Surprisingly, I started watching both with low expectations, but they turned out to be absolutely worth it. The chemistry between the leads is top-notch, and the acting is genuinely impressive. The endings felt similar.

- Strong, calculating, and scheming FLs that don't need saving
- Quiet, shy, and stoic MLs
- Bodyguard (and plaything) MLs
- Both FLs are known to be promiscuous
- Strong FL x Strong ML
- Reverse harem vibes where there is more than one man vying for FL's affection
- FL is the unofficial heir of her family businessTM but struggles with her position due to being a woman
- ML spying on FL
- Bodyguard ML x Master FL
- Gender role reversal
- Assertive FL that chases ML first and always gets what she wants
- Dominant FL x Submissive ML
- Same lead actress
- Steamy kisses

I'm not gonna lie, the plots are VERY similar with the biggest differences being their setting xD

- Strong, calculating, and scheming FLs that don't need saving
- Quiet, shy, and stoic MLs
- Bodyguard (and plaything) MLs
- Both FLs are known to be promiscuous
- Reverse harem vibes where there is more than one man vying for FL's affection
- ML spying on FL
- Bodyguard ML x Master FL
- Gender role reversal
- Assertive FL that chases ML first and always gets what she wants
- Dominant FL x Submissive ML
- Steamy kisses

Both have strong, rich and psychic strange FL.
In both ML and FL have a history.
Both have BDSM parts one more than the other.
FL playes with the ML.

- Strong, calculating, and scheming FLs that don't need saving
- Quiet, shy MLs
- Plaything MLs
- FL is the unofficial heir of her family businessTM but struggles with her position due to being a woman
- ML spying on FL
- Gender role reversal
- Assertive FL that chases ML first and always gets what she wants
- Dominant FL x Submissive ML
- Steamy kisses

Difference: FL has less plot and is set in a contemporary setting

- Femdom x malesub
- FL tames ML but he likes it
- Bold, flirty and protective FL
- Shy and submissive ML (more aloof in BbS)
- FL is a rich heiress
- Fight for inheritance
- Both are melodramatic and not very good plot-wise
- Gender role reversal in both
- Master FL x Plaything ML (pet in QYBDHYG, bodyguard in BbS)

QYBDHYG did the role reversal a lot better than BbS but in BbS the dynamic is more *intimate* than in QYBDHYG. QYBDHYG has the fantasy element that BbS does not. BbS is more 'realistic' and plot-focused while QYBDHYG is just pure entertainment.
