If you like YZX's character, then you may like The Dark Lord as the main lead (YXT), has a similar character to YZX in Young Blood.
- Both YZX and YXT are intelligent, cunning, likes to make trouble and hilarious.
- Young Blood is more on martial arts and Wuxia whereas The Dark Lord is based on male lead being a government official.
-Both have a bit of romance.
- Both are really funny and have awesome SML. SML in The Dark Lord is extremely funny (Luo Da Heng)

Both shows are comedies about men who, with their luck and intelligence become important people and use their position to make troubles for corrupted people.

I'm watching The Lady in Butcher's House (2022) and I keep having associations with The Dark Lord. Both dramas are comedies centralized around the problems of a young provincial government official fighting corruption. The characters are completely different, and the plot in general is also different, but the comedy elements and the problems in the province give me a nice sense of similarity. If you liked those elements in one of these dramas, you might like them in the other as well.

MC (same actor) plays a rather ridiculous, money-hungry, bad at martial arts, but actually intelligent character in both. They are both sort of action-comedies, though it looks like season 2 of Dark Lord is likely going to be, well, darker...

Both shows use the same idea of mistaken identity and employing a (not exactly qualified for this position) stand-in for a dead person.
Recommended by mengosteen
Both are about commoner rising to power. Becoming powerful and upright official and crushing bad people.

There are similarities in the characterizations between Ye Xiaotian in The Dark Lord and Samo Duoluo in Detective Samoyeds. However, Joe still played out the differences in between.
