The stories are vastly different in tone and setting. RSL is a light romcom while Ooku is much darker and melancholic historical palace intruige.

- All men/women group (In Kuragehime they're all-female housemates, in SnH they're all-male co-workers)
- A place important to said group is about to be bought off and they're poor/in debt (in Kuragehime it's their home, in SnH it's their club/work place)
- Unconventional lead comes in to save the day (ML in Kuragehime, FL in SnH) by making the group grow and mature as people

SM has an episodic format following 5 different couples while SKwLd is about 1 family.

- Matriarchies (One contemporary (RSL), one historical (LtHT)). In LtHT, it's a women-only town but there are plenty men in the outside world while in RSL the vast majority of men died out.)
- Women trying to win the men's affection
- Female competition (in RSL to win a husband and in LtHT to be able to hunt one, lol)
- Misandry
- Proactive women, passive men
- Secondary couple have the aloof woman / smitten man
- Shady rulers and conspiracy
- LGBTQ+ representation
- Both are Thai dramas from the same year (seriously, what are the odds??)

The tone, setting and plot are quite different tho. RSL is a romcom set in a dystopia while LtHT is basically amazons if they were a cult and less fighting-oriented.

(mostly in the 1st arc of HDJtT)
- FL is an important historical figure (empress in NWBX,YZQEC and a general in MFG)
- FL time travels to the future
- ML is a wealthy heir who supports FL through everything
- Fish out of water situation
- ML takes care of FL

FL is a person of importance in a historical time (empress in HDJtT and general in MFG) who travels to modern times and has to adapt to living as a contemporary woman. She ends up being accidentally found by the very rich ML and they make an arrangement to live together. Both FLs are atypical, strong and rough in a fish-out-of-water situation

- Unique brothers relationship
- Wrongfully accused (ML)

- Kind and supportive FL (not a walkover)
- Ride or die dynamic between ML & FL
- Kidnapped children seeking revenge as adults
- Slowburn story (YdMAKnTn is slower)
- Hotheaded but sweet MLs
- Lots of whump and angst

The pacing is quite different and also the MCs position. In Blind ML is a detective while in YdMAKnTn he's a high school student kinda doing this on the side.
