1. Both are serious school-based/education-based dramas where a strict teacher pushes students to face uncomfortable truths.
2. Both are mystery dramas with antihero main leads.
3. Both involve psychological pressure and mind games.

the person who is sick they both wanted to know what the future would look like and it just remind me of them bc of their dynamic they never actually got to date properly

Both dramas are masterpieces of strategy that feature a brilliant, intellectual protagonist who relies on his mind rather than martial arts to defeat powerful enemies. Just like Mei Changsu, the lead in Legend of the Magnate (Gu Pingyuan) suffers a grave injustice, endures exile, and returns with a new identity to clear his name and dismantle a corrupt hierarchy. While one focuses on imperial politics and the other on high-stakes business warfare, they share the same DNA: a complex conspiracy, a calm and calculating male lead, and the satisfaction of watching an underdog outsmart the establishment.

Esther Yu plays the female lead in both and Mike Angelo goes from being her male lead to a side character in Speed and Love. Loving his role so far in Speed and Love though.

It's similar in a sense that both the main characters leave their workplaces to be able to give them a space to heal. Though not as melodramatic as Summer Strike, Doctor Slump also has a similar overall message.

Both are the peak of political scheming and 3D chess in cdramas. Both highlight a fight against corruption. Nirvana in Fire is more revenge with slight wuxia elements set in a fictional world while Ming Dyansty in 1566 follows a real corrupt emperor and his court during the start of the decline of the Ming Dynasty. Both MCs contain massive amounts of aura and you can't help but root for and admire them. Ensemble cast is full of veteran actors that give standout performances.

Both main characters of the story return for revenge. Both main characters of the story are smart and plan to defeat their enemy.
If you liked The Vendetta Of An , you'll like The Glory too.

Just that… I don’t really have any explanation but both drama gives a similar plot and vibes, including:

- slice of life
- poverty… (believe me no one can deny me with this one)
- love for one another (way too dearly)
- sharing things
- caring
- make you in tears… I don’t usually cry but… these…. ???
Welcome for those that came up with another reason…
