A woman falls into a book, has to treat ML terribly even though she finds him attractive, ML can hear her thoughts, FL gets electrocuted if she doesn't follow the plot.

There is also a 5th version of this drama in the comments on each page since it's not on MDL yet.

Perfect match. Both of these dramas are solid crime-comedies with just enough crime to keep you hooked and hilarious comedy at the center. There is a similar unlikely group team-bonding vibe that comes from both of these dramas as well. Seriously just watch this!

FL is forced to marry 2ML prince/emperor instead of the ML boyfriend/prince, later needs ML to protect the capital from a 3rd prince, FL offers to reward him physically, palace intrigue makes everything complicated.

ML is a black flag who is obsessed with love over everything else, 2ML is red flag who is obsessed with the crown, FL is constantly being manipulated by others, making sacrifices, and crying.

Ta Cong Ye Se Shen Chu Lai feels like someone made a fanfic version of A Tale of Love and Loyalty because they wanted the novel HE instead of the drama BE.

If you loved Goddess Bless You From Dead, then please don’t sleep on Khemjira. It gives that same feeling of being slightly scared but too invested to stop watching, the kind where you keep thinking about what’s going to happen next even when you’re not watching. Just like Goddess Bless You From Dead, Khemjira pulls you into this dark, fate-heavy story where love and danger exist side by side, and you’re constantly trying to connect the dots while the show casually throws twists you didn’t even consider.
There were moments where I was so focused on the mystery and the curse aspect that I almost forgot it’s a BL too and then boom, a soft romantic moment hits and you’re suddenly screaming into your pillow again ???

If you enjoy BLs that aren’t just romance-first, but actually make you feel tense, emotional, curious, and a little doomed along the way, Khemjira feels like the perfect follow-up watch after Goddess Bless You From Dead.

Both feature a married couple who never met while ML leaving country for years and when he returns he hires his lawyer wife to divorce him not knowing the lawyer is his wife

Love appears unexpectedly in an unusual situation.
Unusual arrangement that leads to love, appears in both series.

Both dramas feature relationships involving Korean and Japanese characters.
It is more about interaction between cultures rather than within one culture.

-different tones
-same heart
-gentle cross-cultural romances about love
-growth
-and the little moments that matter

Human experiments / scientific cruelty

Both involve testing on humans that leads to death.
The difference is the motivation: in Mouse, it’s scientific curiosity and psychopathy; in Bloody Flower, he claims it’s “to save lives.”

Nirvana in Fire

Similarities :

court politics

Power game strategy fateful decisions

Dialogue-oriented and intellectual

The differences :

Focus on personal revenge, not national unity

A more dramatic and emotional atmosphere

The main character is like a legendary genius.

If you liked love in nirvana for its political mindset and Chinese plot its great to watch swords into Plowshares.

Both series have this comfort vibe without much drama going on and a slower type of love. While in ingredients, they are actually roommates, in cfc it feels like they live together as they spend all their time together managing the business and getting closer. Additionally in ingredients there’s also an episode where they take care of a cat.
