Similar to WRTW, TMBFY has a main pairing that complement each other. Both have a badass FL with a smart, calculating ML. The ML is also utterly smitten and devoted to the FL and both dramas depict their adventures as they navigate the complexities of politics and the jianghu.

The formation of the love between the main couple is a slow burn but once it happens they're a true power couple. In both dramas, the male lead likes the female lead first too.

In both dramas, the male lead loves the female lead. The female lead does not reciprocate at first.
The main characters are good at solving problems together.
In both dramas, the female lead is scorned by society for not adhering to social conventions and is generally seen as rude and immoral.
The male lead is a high-ranking, respected official.
In both dramas, the male lead would do anything for the female lead, even risking his life.

The chemistry between the leads. Sizzling!
Who rules the world and The Double gives off similar vibes to me in terms of chemistry
Recommended by neema
Both the leads are green flags that support and care for each other. While Thousands of Years of love has a pinch of angst, there's no angst in romance in Who Rules the World. Despite being sweet, Who Rules the World has just the right amount of sugar.
