So, LR is fantasy and Ruyi is realistic (bcs the prophetic dreams plot was cut away from it) but they have smth in common. Both are fluffy and beautiful stories with good young actors about the toxic romance where one gives while the other takes.

I mean the FL is stupid (particularly in LR though her idiotism is well explained) and believes anyone except for the man who always helps her (but in Ruyi she is at least nice and beautiful). The ML is very pleasant to watch but he also is not smart bcs he cares too much about her.

Well Well, there a lot of common points between these two dramas, the first is the support of each male lead to female lead , and the big support also of female lead to the male lead, wherever in the family matters or professional career matter , and we can say that both male lead let their wives which both were by arranged marriage to work and the show their face to public ( which was something unusual back then, and the society criticize the wives who work outside and they should only have to take responsibilities of their husband's house) and I really loved this fact : the husband support wife's career.

Both are beautifully shot costume romantic dramas with beautiful actors. Both have marriage life and typical Chinese palace power struggle.
But the stories differs much, while Ming Lan is quite smart and restrained, the FL of Ru yi is not; Story of Ming Lan is more realistic, Ruyi Pavilion (aka Snowfall of wishes) is just sweet and fluffy.

Just like in Song of Glory...The two leads are always helping each other with a case most if not all of which are related to the palace in some way.

It always gives the same vibes as Song of Glory just a little lighter than the former but still contains a lot of mysteries and intrigue with the leads inadvertently solving them.

Also, they too end up married as well due to circumstances.

I am writing to recommend the TV series "Castle in the Time" in comparison to "The Blooms at Ruyi Pavilion." Having closely observed both productions, I have identified several noteworthy similarities that make them appealing to a similar audience.

The two series exhibit a strong focus on character development. The intricate storytelling and well-crafted characters in "Castle in the Time" resonate with the depth and complexity found in "The Blooms at Ruyi Pavilion." Viewers will appreciate the nuanced relationships and personal growth of the characters, adding a layer of emotional depth to the narratives.

Additionally, both shows boast high production values, featuring stunning cinematography, elaborate set designs, and exquisite costume choices. The visual aesthetics in "Castle in the Time" and "The Blooms at Ruyi Pavilion" elevate the overall viewing experience, providing audiences with a feast for the eyes and contributing to the authenticity of the historical settings.

In conclusion, I believe that fans of "The Blooms at Ruyi Pavilion" will find "Castle in the Time" to be a captivating and satisfying watch, thanks to the shared elements of romantic Chinese drama, character depth, and impressive production quality.

Central to the plot of both 'I Am This Type of Girl' and 'The Blooms at Ruyi Pavilion' are the female leads' prophetic dreams. The future events they dream about are harmful to themselves and their families. Ban Hua and Fu Rong try their best to prevent the tragedies from occurring, thereby changing the future.
The male leads, Rong Xia and Xu Jin, initially clash with their love interests. After repeated encounters, they solve various mysteries together, and fall in love.
The female leads' families are also prominently featured. Especially the siblings, Ban Heng and Fu Xuan, are very supportive of their sister's actions.
Both dramas have comedic and dramatic elements, and are set during the times of an ancient Chinese fictive dynasty. The imperial family, court politics, and secrets of the past are part of each drama's plot. Likewise, the romance between the lead and secondary couples is a major part of the plot.

I think if you liked one you will like the other. At least, give each a try!
(Also, Jerry Chang plays the emperor in both dramas lol)

Both SMLs are morally gray and were in love with the FL since childhood but end up marrying her to the ML for personal reasons. Both FLs struggle with trusting the ML, and at one point stab him. Both dramas are historical and have a similar tone and pacing.

The original source drama with Zhang Ze Han and Ju Jing Yi. Same male and female leads and explains the “past” lives of the two characters.

The bad guy in The Blooms at Ruyi Pavilion, Xu Ping, reminds me of the bad guy in Swords fo Legends, Ou Yang Shou Gong.
