- both dramas are set in the republic period
- both dramas arguably feature a bromance
- both dramas deal with mysteries

however, Tientsin mystic has supernatural elements in it, and imo the mysteries are more interesting because of that. both dramas have lots of smaller mysteries and a bigger conspiracy behind the events.

Tientsin Mystic is a bit of a darker drama though.

If u (by any chance )want to see it's Chinese version then "My Roommate Is a Detective" has the same plot. It's the exact copy of "Secret Royal Inspector".

set in a similar era. the 2 male leads meet each other and they help each other to solve crimes. has a bromance feel towards the 2 male leads. 1 is an actual detective and the other is just a helper/consultant. they gain popularity through the cases they work.

Both dramas have male leads who work together to tackle corrupt individuals and organisations whilst also revealing their back story and growing friendship. The bond between the two main characters is similar, the storyline is similar, the period is similar.
