- Servant/maid FL
- Strong, hardworking FLs that let nothing stand in their way
- Rich but mistreated bastard ML
- Super supportive ML that adore FL
- ML falls in love first and hard
- Intimate and mature romance with a "us against the world" dynamic
- Both are heavy and melancholic dramas about injustice and classism
- Both have consistent "it gets worse" approach that make them a bit suffocating to watch
- Both dramas are beautiful and moody

The plots are quite different with SoND being a revenge/business story while TToLO is more law focused.

- Revenge
- Mistreated ML
- Badass and bloodthirsty FL that lets no one walk over her
- ML comes from a wealthy family (royal in DLX, business family in SoND)
- FL is ML's maid
- ML falls in love first and hard, FL teases him
- Clingy ML
- Us-against-the-world romance
- FL is the mastermind and leader of their revenge while ML mostly obeys her orders
- Power couple
- Both are dark, moody, and melancholic
- Gender role reversal themes in both (more prominent in DLX)

- Strong and grounded FLs that overcome anything life throws at them
- Servant FLs
- Nobleman ML that ends up a commoner (different personalities and situation)
- Rags to riches FL
- Very intelligent ML and FL
- Strong and mature romance with an us-against-the-world dynamic
- Forbidden love x2
- FLs end up taking care of a young sibling-in-law (+ deathly protective FLs)
- Both are heavy and melancholic dramas about injustice and classism
- High quality productions with a strong story, good cast, lovely OST, and stunning cinematography (despite ADltTL being a short length series)

- Hardworking FLs that establish their own shop
- ML lost everything and struggles to survive
- Us-against-the-world kinda dynamic between ML and FL
- Villain royal SFL that wants ML for herself
- Role reversal themes (BK has more)

Main differences are the tone of the drama. ADltTL is a very melancholic and sincere sort of drama while BK is more lighthearted and comedic, more along the lines of your average minidrama which shows in everything. Also ADltTL takes place in the real world while BK takes place in an alternate universe matriarchy.

- Hardworking FLs that remain strong through adversity
- Somewhat aloof but supportive and caring MLs
- Healthy and mature romance between the leads
- SFL is a princess with the same arc in the story
- ML working together with the crown prince to secure political power
- ML is a noble/royal while FL is a commoner (noble in ADltTL, royal in TLoZ)
- Role reversal themes (ADltTL has more)

Plots are quite different save for SFL. TLoZ is more political and girlboss-y while ADltTL is more of a story about the struggles of average people.

- FL is in the military (General in MLG, Commander in NotBM)
- Coquettish, green tea ML pretending to be weak
- ML has a dual identity
- FL forces ML to marry her
- Rough FL
- Gender role reversal themes (more present in MLG)
- Both are historical mini dramas

- Tall FL x Short ML

- Royal FL (Queen in MMMQ, Princess in GZJS,YWRRYXFS)
- Aloof warrior-type ML
- FL has a harem that helps her regain control of her court
- Flirty FL x Shy ML
- Historical short length cdramas

Plot has differences and FL in MMMQ is far more playful while FL in GZJS,YWRRYXFS is cold and ruthless.

- Fight for the throne (in TPR FL fights to secure her brother's position as heir while in GZJS,YWRRYXFS FL wants to the position herself)

- Gender role reversal

Main difference is the romance and the ML. In TPR ML is a mistreated noble whom marries FL as her consort and both travel back in time to their youth while in GZJS,YWRRYXFS he's a bodyguard who had no relationship with FL until the story unfolds.

- FL was an empress that goes back in time (in GZJS,YWRRYXFS she goes back to when she was a princess while in FJ she does not)

Main difference lies in ML's character. In FJ he's flirty and cunning while in GZJS,YWRRYXFS he's shy and reserved. FL is also more cunning and cruel in GZJS,YWRRYXFS.

- FL is a princess of high status
- Cold and somewhat heartless FLs
- Loyal guard ML that's more like a concubine
- Gender role reversal
- Dom FL x Sub ML
- Political intrigue
- Historical short-length minidramas.

Main difference is that in ZGZZS FL does not want to nor ever ascend the throne while in GZJS,YWRRYXFS she does. Also in ZGZZS FL's harem is only mentioned while it plays a big part in ZGZZS.

- Tough as nails FL x Green tea ML
- ML pretends to be weak to approach FL
- FL is tough and rough and manhandles ML (she's tougher and meaner in NGNRYCYJ)
