Both revolve around a codependent relationship between a senior and a junior in their respective fields of art (HER is literary while Double is performance art) as the junior eventually eclipses the senior in skill.

Both codependent relationships feature a popular, extroverted senior and a shy but talented junior and are hinted to be romantic but 'interrupted' by an outside influence - from there, the story differs.

Both have similar themes but are still very different in execution (Double >>>)

Both revolve around a skilled swordsman/woman known to be the best and have their own fighting style.

Both leads want to let go of their past, keep their identity a secret and live a normal life but end up getting involved in the drama to protect the ones around them.

MLC is a bit more light-hearted, comedic and revolves around solving mysteries while RoA has more action, swordplay and martial arts - but both have similar premises

both are supernatural-themed, snappy, fast-paced and have similar styles of dead-pan humour.

both have leads who can communicate with the dead to resolve their last wishes and find out the backstory of their death (in the movie, its only 1 ghost whereas the show has many).

they both begin as comedies that progress wonderfully into sentimental stories that hit you hard (u may cry lmao)

both are bromance-heavy Taiwanese productions and if you like one, you'll defs like the other.

Both dramas seemingly begin as cute little romances that go on to deal with heavy topics such as grief and acceptance on matters such as terminal illness and death. Both shows do so in a beautiful, emotional way, evoking plenty of sincerity.

Both relationships are between boys who don't really get along at first but have an insane attraction drawing them together anyways. They experience a first love that is pure and genuine but intruded upon by serious plot advancements.

Both are sweet and will make you shed a few tears.

both:
- revolve around hypnotism-related crimes
- revolve around a task force team designed to handle these odd cases
- feature a police captain and a psychology/hypnotist specialist as the main leads
- feature hypnotism as the main theme and asks the question of whether it is good or bad
- feature a mysterious villain who has plotted everything since the beginning
- leads are not friendly with each other at first but begin to grow closer

SCI is more light-hearted, has more comedy and focuses on the strong bromance between the leads. It doesn't have too much police procedural in it, making it a bit more fast-paced while handling more cases.

Desire Catcher is a lot more serious in tone and has a lot more realistic police procedural in it, making the pace a tad slower but still enjoyable. It takes itself seriously and is a bit more graphic in the cases they deal with. The leads slowly come to like each other and work together.

similarities:
- both are mixtures of modern/historical fantasy with characters being reincarnations of their past selves.
- both involve supernatural elements with human/animal spirits, demons and relatively ok cgi (lmao).
- both feature an extensive amount of characters that all relate back to the two main characters, both in the past and present.
- both have a main character who waits thousands of years for the reincarnation of the other lead, who has forgotten their shared history.
- has all the friendship, brotherhood and hints of something more to satisfy your [b]romance needs.

quite a few similar aspects:
- centred around a sport
- sporty lead and other lead having an antagonistic relationship that transforms into something romantic
- sporty lead stagnating in his skill of that sport until he meets other lead who shows him how to loosen up and improve
- other lead being quite happy and cheeky on the outside but having internal issues that he slowly reveals to the sporty lead

although both are set in different settings and time periods, they share a main protagonist who is exceptionally capable but morally ambiguous at the start - yet somehow becomes an unexpected hero for those around him because of coincidences and misunderstandings, which inspire him to straighten up and do more good.

both are Taiwanese comedies that revolve around young adults getting mixed up with supernatural elements.

both have characters that are cold towards each other but warm up quickly - so plenty of bromance !!

• Over-the-top comedy - very entertaining
• Centres around a developing office romance
• Latter portion of both deals with jealousy because of a love triangle

Both are set in high school and have very over-the-top characters for satirical comedy purposes.

Both also have a lot of bromance in them and focus on friendship and school politics/cliques.

Both depict a rivals-to-lovers storyline between a feisty, hot-headed boy who is always coming 2nd or losing to the popular, calm boy who is actually secretly in love with him and has only achieved his accolades because he wants the other boy to notice him.
