Arclei

- Similar situations where the ML is forced to become involved in a case by awful means
- Supportive and strong FLs that always stand by the ML (romantic in BM, platonic in Connection)
- Antagonist friend group that are super supportive of each other but also one breath away from killing each other (the dynamics and even characters are *very* similar)
- Both are very thrilling and engaging, keeping you hooked
- Corruption and greed
- Lots and lots of whump
- Both have very good and memorable OSTs

Main differences is that BG has a zero to her journey for the ML and mostly takes place in a prison while Connection does not and is more focused on drugs.

- Supernatural elements
- Arranged/forced marriage
- General ML
- ML seems cold and mean at first but is actually very kind and gentle
- Healthy mains relationship
- Both leads are soft and gentle with each other (similars attract)

Both are historical political stories set in the palace with an ill king, an evil queen, a crown prince no one wants, and corrupt ministers.

Main differences are of course the POV being that of a doctor in TNO but that of the crown prince in Kingdom and of course Kingdom being focused around a zombie apocalypse

- ML is a celebrity detective (in FXC because he's an elite, in Memorist because of his superpower)
- Reckless and cocky MLs who ultimately do really care about their jobs
- Strong and cold FLs that don't like the ML and keep him in check
- Both MLs work under FL (in Memorist she's a criminal profiler, in FXC she's the chief detective)
- Fun team dynamics

- Gender role reversal
- Alternate universe where the gender roles are reversed (mpreg isn't the case in TOHoMaY)
- Strong FL x Weak ML
- Masculine FL x Feminine ML
- Social commentary

TOHoMaY is way more lighthearted and funny

- Gender role reversal
- Alternate universe where men can get pregnant (Mpreg)
- FL is a douche that invalidates ML's feelings
- Social commentary

- Strong family bond
- Unconventional and quirky family
- Girlboss x Malewife lead couple
- Teen FL is a total badass
- Grandpa involved in the family
- Strong FLs
- Teamwork
- Supernatural themes
- Dark comedy and absurd themes
- Small town setting (rural small town in TOF:ZoS)

- Unconventional assassins
- Quirky, atypical ML that's scared of violence
- Lots of badass women
- Zero to hero journey (ML in KtK and FL in KP)
- Mix of very gruesome scenes with lots of comedy
- Lots of gore and violence
- Wacky and somewhat confusing plots

- Story focused around deafness
- Sweet, cute, soft-spoken MCs
- Green-flag, similars attract romance
- Easy, peaceful summery vibes
- Super cute, healing watches

Both titles have a very similar peaceful and summery vibe with two main characters that are soft spoken, introverted, shy, and so incredibly sweet. MLs behave quite similarly, both taking notice of FL a lot and trying to make sense of her quirks.

- Crown prince MLs (ML in Kingdom, SML in WofD) (In Kingdom he's the crown prince but should be the king and vice versa in WotD)
- Said royal ML is forced to leave the capital, survive out in the wilderness, run for his life and ultimately build up a force of resistance.
- Weak, pampered royal ML that grows up and matures throughout the story
- Hardened soldier/warrior SML that dislikes royalty but comes around (SML in Kingdom, TML in WotD)
- Dark, gritty and realistic tone and aesthetics with quite some gore.
- Action, adventure, war, survival
- Commentary about class and social issues

Main differences is that in Kingdom is a zombie disaster drama while WofD is an adventure/surviva/war film

- Rich FL / Poor ML
- FL is in a position of power (Sect leader in SotSS, CEO in Fake Love)
- ML is FL's boytoy/pet (concubine in SotSS, sugar baby in Fake Love)
- Protective FL
- Cool, mature and assertive FL
- Gender role reversal elements
- Dominant FL x Submissive ML
- Both are using each other
- Steamy romantic scenes + good chemistry
- Problematic SML hurting FL

Obviously, SotSS is a historical wuxia while Fake Love is a contemporary romance but there were similarities with certain elements and especially the lead's dynamic
