These are wildly different in tone; 3 Will Be Free is a crime thriller and Two Husbands One Wife is more of a romcom, but if you like the v dynamic of Miw-Neo-Shin, you'll probably enjoy the Mia-Shinpei-Takuzo dynamic. And if you like Two Husbands One Wife and are wanting a polyam story that's got more going on than 3 people figuring out how polyamory works, you might like 3 Will Be Free.

If you are into the business vibe drama, you will 100 percent love The Story of Pearl Girl. I found the similarities of how both the female thrives to make their business successful starting from scratch. They are both strong and smart at doing businesses. However tsopg is a bit heavy compared to flourished peony and focus more on revenge but mainly in business. Despite all the different, tsopg is worth giving a try to to move on from flourished peony if you are having an after watch effect.
