Both good bromance between an older and younger character. The older takes the younger home.... Mystery. Hidden secrets/dark past. The past comes into play in regards to their futures. Solving investigation(s) together. Learning to trust and that you are not alone.


Bromance. Age gap. Detectives. Gritty and dark. Current murders/cases tie into murders/cases in the past. One ML slowly learns the secrets and mystery of other ML past; MLs cat and mouse at first....unsure who to trust and what to believe. Edge of your seat story.


Both about people with antisocial personality disorder (sociopathy) and questions whether they are bound to be criminals. Both stories have mystery and ask deep psychological questions.


Both series have a single father ML. Both series have cute kid(s). Both series address learning what it means to love.


A younger ML falls in love with older ML....and puts his all/sincerity into getting the older ML despite the older's reluctance. Sweet, cute, charming. It's fun seeing the older ML also slowly/eventually fall for the younger, too ;)


Hidden identity. Great friendship/bromance. Complex 'good' and 'bad' guys with great philosophical questions. Lots of action/adventure/sword-fighting. Mysteries and solving cases. A a good-looking full cast that will make your eyes happy (both men and women) ;)


Nice male lead? check! Self-discovery and first love? check! Musically inclined male lead who can sing? check! Non-toxic, sweet, light and fluffy, feel-good story to warm your heart? check!check!check!


Strong male lead, got betrayed and/or lost his power, hid his past, and start a new identity. Lots of brotherhood.


Gave me similar vibes of computer simulation of a dating game, though both dramas approach the subject from a different angle. Both are Korean BLs where one character tries to figure out how to get another character to like them.


Both good bromance between a younger and older character. Mystery, hidden secrets/pasts, solving investigation(s) together. Both have fantasy elements and humor to help soften all the angst!


A main character hiding a secret regarding his health/life with last wish/goal to find remains/body of beloved family member before it is too late. Excellent bromance. Mystery. Humor. Mains solve series of puzzles/cases that all connect and lead up to end mystery/confrontation. Cornucopia of interesting characters throughout.
