They're both simple sweet young romances that will leave you with a wide grin. They're both quite short as well so they act like a quick dose of sunshine.

- Empress FL, Soldier/bodyguard/general ML
-Both leads are ambitious, cunning, protective towards their other half
-In the starting of the story both ML & FL were in utterly disheveled state, but with their intelligence they rose and fought together for their ambitions
- ML's were very protective, emotionally supporting, supported FL's every decision and been their backbone from beginning to end
-Both FL had been married to another man

Shameless/flirty/lightly scheming male lead who lives and breathes to bother the other male lead. The shameless one also lives life with a nothing-to-lose attitude due to hitting emotional rock bottoms. Many comedic, light-hearted, and silly moments. Many characters have an established gay/queer/bi identity.

Love after Addiction is a spin-off of Addicted (released 10 years ago). The relationship dynamics between the two male leads have similar vibes, but are still done differently. Youxi seems to have become another version of the shameless Guhai who needs the other male lead as "medicine". Also, both have many goofy, lighthearted, and warm moments worthy of rewatch.

Both plots sound VERY similar, with FL being a common girl unskilled in literary or arts that suddenly finds herself as the most talented woman and ends up getting help from and falling in love with the most talented man.

Both are

Female Lead -Focused Thrillers...

WhereThe female lead is super mysterious, and has died or disappered at one point and others investigate her life to find out more.....

bruh it's literally the same
1: the male lead is accused of a crime
2: the female lead helps him get through that moment, supports him by giving him a place to live and food, and also gives him emotional support
3: the male lead is a famous idol who loses everything because of an accusation
4: the female lead was a fan of the male lead before meeting him and hides it from him
5: at first, the female lead is in love with the male lead just externally because she was a fan, but later she falls in love with who he really is
6: the male lead isn’t supported by anyone until his agency abandons him; the only one who supports him is the female lead
7: maybe in this series the male lead isn’t a dol-i like the male lead from Idol i, but he’s very charismatic and sometimes a little bipolar
when you watch Spring of Youth, you realize the plot has that same Idol i vibe, so if you liked Idol i, trust me, you’re going to love Spring of Youth

- Buddy-cop investigation dramas (M/M in SToTD, M/F in U:J, though both have romantic subtext)
- One MC is reckless and quirky, while the other is rigid and upright.
- One of the leads is a palace guard tasked with investigating murders.
- Interesting detective cases with unique set-ups and plot twists
- Episodic style cases (all interconnecting in U:J, mostly stand-alones in SToTD)
- Tang dynasty detective dramas
- Similar production-quality and style
