Identical, Matching, Same or Similar Names in Chinese Dramas

I've had this idea while watching Delicacies Destiny's 3rd episode. There are a few C-dramas that I've seen whose characters have names in common with different characters from other dramas. So, in this new list, I'll be ordering and specifying which characters have identical, matching or similar names in different dramas. I'll also include their original names in Chinese, so we can check if there's any difference or similarity as well.

Any help on how to improve or enlarge this list is welcome!! I hope you like it! ;D
