Both have Wuxia elements, a lot of action, and humor.
BoY is more of a fast watch and youth-centric. JoL is much more grown-up, cerebral, and with complex characters and plot twists. Though JoL is less accessible, as so much of the show's hilarity are not fully captured in translation.

Both contain case-solving, humor, and heartfelt moments, and a grand arc that spans the entire season.
BoT is a modern, supernatural investigative procedural that pushes along the main character arc at a brisk pace. It matches the quality and style of some of the best Hollywood procedural shows in mixing side-splitting absurdist humor, astute social commentary, and heartfelt moments. The show replaces bromance with a more team camaraderie and realistic romance between ML and FL. The engaging and consequential cases and grand story arc culminates in an exciting finale.
The biggest issue is the poor subtitle quality limits the accessibility as much of the hilarity and context of the show may be bungled by subpar translation. Though fluent Chinese speakers will likely enjoy this quirky hidden gem.

Both have a likeable gang of characters solving cases.
Young blood's cases are more engaging and consequential whereas MLC's feel more like props. MLC is a higher budget production, though YB is arguably better in most areas such as plot, characterization, and acting.
For non-native speakers, MLC may be more accessible and an easier breezier watch.

Wuxia adventure light in theme and propelled forward by likeable characters and bromance.
BoY has more differentiated fighting styles, but also a heavier reliance on CGI. MLC has more compelling characters and more interesting plot, a more grownup version to BoY's youthful energy.
