the communist sister and the fl are quite similar i feel. also both storys dipict women and power what they go through. anyhow u must watch both.

Both series explore the quiet gravity of emotional loneliness and the fragile architecture of human connection. At their core, the protagonists are not isolated by circumstance alone, but by an internal barricade built from fear, past wounds, and unspoken vulnerability.

In both stories, emotional solitude is not loud or dramatic. It is subtle, almost invisible, like a room filled with air that feels too heavy to breathe. The characters long for closeness, yet hesitate at the edge of intimacy. They fear that allowing someone near might expose their fractures, or worse, lead to rejection and abandonment.

Another shared element is the tension between desire and avoidance. The characters crave understanding and warmth, but instinctively withdraw when relationships begin to feel real. This push and pull creates a powerful emotional conflict that shapes their journeys.

Ultimately, both series portray loneliness not as the absence of people, but as the absence of emotional safety. The fear of getting close becomes both a shield and a prison, defining their relationships and personal growth.

both dramas start off with young female forced to don a mask and pose as the family's son as a trained warrior

Both dramas themed around life of idol industry in South Korea. The ML of Spring of Youth also acted as an idol in Namib. However his character in Namib was a jerk who manipulated people around Namib's ML with his fake innocent personality meanwhile his character in Spring of Youth is purely innocent person

En ambas series las heroínas retornan luego de fingir sus muertes para vengarse, las historias tienen intrigas políticas, los héroes tienen grandes habilidades marciales y manejan una red de espías. Excelentes las dos.

very similar female main character , wanting to become rich , manipulating men , crime and investigation , as soon as I started the art of Sarah , I thought of dear x , they are way too similar .

these two drams have a very different concept , but also very similar ,
while nine puzzles focuses on a very genius detective , the art of Sarah focuses on a criminal , but if you enjoy watching about smart women , then you would definitely like the two of them .
> while nine puzzles is more about solving different cases that all lead to one person ,
> the art of Sarah is about one case , but it also involves many different important topics related to fake personas , wealth , money ....etc.

Struggle for power and obsessive love. As toxic as it is I still love it. I'll edit this later with more detail after the series ends. That's just the tip of the ice berg as I still don't know the full story of Yesterday.

It has the same plot and He Yu also stars in that drama. They were childhood friends who hadn't seen each other in years, reunited, then ended up together.

Obsessive character ? That's the vibes Kelvin is giving me right now... we're still in episode 3 so I can't really say anything more. I can see how calculative Kelvin actually is. I love that for him.
