Historical drama about a noble losing Status and trying to survive with subtle romance. Both quality production.

similar dark tone/life episodic drama. personally i like mahoro ekimae bangaichi better, but shinjuku seven also stands out.

both star lee si young and is filled with action. in one drama she is the mother going after the baddies for revenge, and in another she is the side kick helping the main character in his quest. both productions are not perfect and also have lots of differences in the tone and the story but if you liked one there is a chance you will like the other.

written by the same writer, both dramas are filled with action and the dark side of the society. my beautiful bride is more a romance and is more of a single man show, where as cruel city makes you root for more than one single character. in my opinion cruel city has a much more superior storyline but my beautiful bride is also a worthwhile watch.

both productions are about man trying to rescue someone they value, fulled with action and underground world. man from nowhere is in my idea more impactful as it's a movie and gives the feeling short and strong, my beautiful bride is no less enjoyable. but are worth watching.

both are based on crime-romance novels by ding mo. have the same feel.

they are both based on novels by the same author (ding mo). both crime/detective and romance series.

both are jtbc dramas, means are of a certain quality. one is about a microorganism ending the world, one is about a big earthquake hitting seoul so they have a similar genre and both are good.
