Similar male leads: sweet, hardworking and caring. Both are humble stories without too much drama(small town stories is even less dramatic,not traumatic at all and more realistic). Even though STS gives a realistic feel, its a very well done story. Its basically more of a slice of life while JBL leans into more drama. Give it a try!

Both dramas centre around maneuvering through the awkward teen years with lots of humour sprinkled in, including dealing with self-image issues, crushes, family drama and unintentional (and often hilarious) self-sabotage.
Both Dramas Feature:
- A fierce, unconventional heroine who refuses to be bullied. Both FMLs are stubborn, intelligent, cunning, and loyal.
- A love triangle between a stubborn and cunning FML, a commanding grouchy yet possessive ML, and an intelligent, loveable yet pitiful 2nd ML.
- A lead couple brought together by circumstance rather than choice. In both series, the relationship (or rise to power) begins with reluctance, tension, and emotional distance.
- But evolves into deep love, loyalty, and intense devotion. Both MLs go from “I don’t like you” to becoming full jars of vinegar any time someone else looks at their woman.
- Both dramas have calculating, deeply entrenched political intrigue with characters that challenge the throne.
- Well-timed humor and comedic moments. Despite the palace scheming, both series sprinkle in witty banter and comedic relief that keeps the pacing fresh.
- A strong supporting cast of loyal friends, funny side characters, and palace allies bring warmth, levity, and extra storylines that make the world feel full and vibrant.
Key Differences Between the Two Dramas:
Tone & Genre:
- Yanxi Palace is more historical-realistic, grounded in political maneuvering and court intrigue.
- Kunning Palace blends historical drama with light fantasy elements, mainly due to the heroine’s rebirth, she gets a second chance to rewrite her tragic fate.
Character Journeys:
- Wei Yingluo rises from a low-ranked maid and carves her own path upward through wit and grit.
- Jiang Xue Ning starts as an empress reborn as a noblewoman with ambition but must confront her past mistakes after being reborn.
Romance Development:
- In Yanxi, romance is slower, steadier, and woven subtly into the political tension.
- In Kunning Palace, the romance is more direct, emotional, and fate-driven, with heavier emphasis on the ML’s protectiveness and emotional growth.
Pacing & Atmosphere:
- Yanxi Palace is meticulous, strategic, and visually elegant.
- Kunning Palace is faster-paced, more dramatic, and more intense in emotional storytelling.

Both delve into investigating the criminal mind of a serial killer.
Sao Shu Ling features a serial killer from ten years ago, implicated in a new murder case. But with few evidence, the police and non-police detectives sort through his life to understand and find incriminating evidence against him. But what they find themselves in is a tangled web that raises more doubts than the answers they seek.

Also features a girl who “goes back in time” to her mother’s youth and becomes best friends with her (the mother)
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
