Recommendations

Found family is one of my favorite drama genres. Both of these dramas are some of my favorite found family kdramas, I would highly recommend both. Both dramas have thriller and action elements.

watched the teaser/trailer before and idk, but at some point/stances it's already giving me "vagabond vibe"!!!

so! 'am patiently waiting for thisssss!!!

* From same online novel series by Qin ming
*Same male lead
* Main Character is A forensic expert who always uncovers the mysteries behind crime cases

* Same original writer (Qin Ming is a forensic expert and writer from Tongling City, Anhui Province, China. He serves as the director of the Evidence Identification Management Division at the Anhui Provincial Public Security Department)

* Male lead try to cultivate and will become the top cultivator
* Same Male-centric genre with small portion of love story
* Both Drama have martial art, artistic views and some political issues are somewhat similar

In "I Belonged to Your World", the FL's son travels back in time to prevent his mother from having a bad life. I got that same sentiment in "Twelve Letters".

In both dramas, the sons of of the FL's are selfless about their parents.

Both dramas are presenting harsh reality that are faced by women in the pasts. Like in Knight Flower, woman must dedicate her life to her husband even after his death. In Aema, woman may have career on her own but she must face male's domination, in this case like CEO Koo who is so exploitative toward his actresses

its similiar because both of them have unrequited love. In lost you forever, we can say that xiang liu loved xiaoyao(FL) but deep inside he know he can't be with her. because what she want to be forever with the love one and inseperable with each other. and from xiaoyao pov, we can say she also want to love xiang liu because they share many good moment having similiar story, well they know the misery of each other. but she was to afraid of him. because he was so good to mask his feeling with his word

in dear mayang story the male and female is neighboor (sorry forgot the character name), they both smart and match with each other and their friend also think like that, but one day new male move to their neighborhod and he feel in love on first sight, he always try to be with her, meanwhile the old male didnt to be with her because he assign as cop spy and he can't free himself until he died

Both are BL dramas whereby the main character and his love interest initially do not have a properly defined relationship. They have a sort of friend with benefit situation under the guise of the love interest 'helping out' the main character. My Stubborn is a Thai BL drama and Secret Lover is a Taiwanese BL drama.

- Enemies to Lovers / Lovers to Enemies
- Prince / Emperor male lead
- Badass male lead with multiple personas
- Righteous female lead
- Female lead is bad at cooking and playing qin lol
- Good CGI / Visuals
- Great chemistry between main leads

They both have a fluffy, school, youth romance type of genre, with both female leads being quite shy and obsessive (stalker-ish…? but not extreme) over their crushes. The male leads both find out a secret about the female lead, which initially forms their first interactions and establishes a deeper connection. The male leads are very popular in school and eventually showcase their true self to the female lead over time. Both are also very cute, lighthearted, and fairly easily watchable!

Both explore the legal genre, although BTB is more legal heavy whereas JFH heavily includes fantasy elements. Both feature romance, however, JFH certainly includes more romance and BTB more so hints at it, but I wouldn’t say it’s the main genre of either. JFH is darker, gothic, and more gory. Both focus on one case per episode usually, although JFH is more about punishing each evildoer whereas BTB focuses on defense. Both explore the morally grey areas in life and provoke the audience to think.

Both are written by the same writer (Takahashi Yuya). As the season goes on, you might see some of his signature tropes.

Zeztzu has a similar confidence to Geats while he is in dreams, but when he's awake, he is more like Keiwa.

Geats was released in the US, and Zeztz is being simulcast to the US

Both explore the law from different points of view. Both are labeled as “romances.” BTB certainly has more elements of romance than JVJ and both hint at romance between the main leads, but I wouldn’t call these romances. Both feature a ML and FL who at the start have differing personalities and friction between each other.

Both dramas are inspired by European original stories (one an original drama, the other a novel). They also share a support actress and the director. Sadly, it looks like the technical team isn't the same in Mantis as in Black Out, because it definitely shows. So far (ep 1), Black Out is the better drama. But if you want an European-feeling in your police kdrama, this could also be it.
