- Matriarchy setting
- Fish-out-of-water MLs
- Both are comedies on social issues
Haven't watched "Better Man" but they seem to be very similar based on the trailer in terms of vibe and story.

Honestly... If you went into The Prisoner of Beauty and were disappointed by the bait-and-switch where it turned into a slapstick romcom, then definitely give Bloody Heart a try. BH really commits to the angsty romance and darker themes all throughout. It's also less draggy.
