Both dramas are comedic mystery thrillers with an endearing cast of ordinary neighborhood folks who team up to fight crime and solve cases. You’ll laugh yourself to tears because of hilarious dialogue and situations, but then cry tears of emotion during touching moments or times of sorrow, and then be back laughing hysterically again! Both lead characters have childhood trauma due to being victims of a crime and witnessing a loved one being harmed by an assailant. You’ll watch them face that trauma and fight for others.

The main character is also a psychopath who tries to take control in her own way, manipulating the people around her to get what she wants. Both main psychopath characters are strangely endearing — you can’t help but root for them once you understand where their mental issues come from, and it’s hard to be against them

It gives so much revenged love vibes like the setting of the series and starting with a red flag ml, although the story is different but it's giving revenged love so much, so if someone liked revenged love will hook with it too!

Thee and Phum two of the lead characters have quite similar personalities. They are both hot-headed and treats their love interest in a cold manner at first. Also the lead actors are the same as well, Pond and Phuwin.

- Both are absurd and the plot doesn't make any sense
- There's the same type of comedy in both
- Both have a lot of bromance (both are almost BLs)

Both dramas share the same core concept:
