Different from 6 Lying University Students, Judge is a survival movie. But I noticed the way they 'eliminated' the other to decide which one is 'worth' was similar.

Set in the Northern Song dynasty, the story follows Sheng Ming Lan, an unfavored concubine-born 6th daughter of an official. After losing her mother at a young age, Ming Lan is raised by her paternal grandmother. Growing up, she learns to hide her true genius self and use crafty and cunning methods in order to survive the tough conditions where family members are plotting against each other and where no actual familial love exists.

She then meets Gu Ting Ye, the second son of a rich marquis household, who is supposed to inherit wealth from both the parents and a noble title. Unlike Ming Lan, Gu Ting Ye is straightforward with his actions and never hides his true self, causing him to fall victim to all the planning and plotting against him, where he ends up losing everything.

Ming Lan and Ting Ye join forces, and through cunning schemes and daring endeavors, they both rise in position and work to obtain justice from those that have wronged them.

both fun romcom have top-notch comedy with a beautiful romantic relationship for the main couple: fadelstyle and theepeach. just like the actors themselves, i'd say style and khun thee will make best friends if they ever happen to bump into each other one day.

Both MLs fall first and fall harder for intelligent, successful older women that believe in them and help them grow.

They’re both about detectives trying to solve compelling cases with elements of time travel. And they’re both intense and suspenseful with great acting.

Both MLs are younger, but steadfast and devoted in their love for the older women in their lives. The writing is solid, the characters are fleshed out, and the couples’ deep bond is thoroughly explored via flashbacks.

Season 2 continues the story.

Both take place in the Joseon Dynasty, include focus on royalty and memory loss. FL has memory loss in MR whereas ML has memory loss in 1DMP. MR also features fantasy elements unlike 1DMP. 1DMP is also more of a lighthearted romcom compared to MR.
