The similarities in using supernatural martial arts as a means of fighting. Comedic elements in both as well.

The male leads didn't know martial arts, but later learned through old men imparting their powers into them ,thus allowing them to adapt quickly . They also have women to protect, those women go with them Everywhere.

JOY OF LIFE AND SWORD SNOW STRIDE FALL INTO SAME GENRE (STORY / CHAR WISE / PLOT TYPE)

BOTH MLS PLAYED BYZHANG RUOYUN whose FAN XIAN(ML OF JOL) AND XU FENG NIAN (ML OF SSS) INCARNATE
BOTH MLS go from weak to strong, cunning, manipulative, eloquent, loyalty, witty, also have humor AND doesn't mind using their familial prestige with pride unlike many other mls.
Many badass fls in both Series. ( Both protagonist and antagonist side)
Morally Grey characters also present
Complex antagonists ( various)
Total new fantasy world building / kingdom
The storytelling of these Series is what's the main plus point
JOL WILL HAVE TOTAL 3 SEASONS ( 746 NOVEL CHAPTERS)
SSS WILL POSSIBLY HAVE 5+ SEASONS (2000 NOVEL CHAPTERS)

Deep Lurk has fast paced plot, everyone is smart and scheming, not to say most of them are secret agents and have double identity, haha..

Its also so trilling, so many strategies, traps and actions... little talk.

Chess game nicely done just like Sword Snow Stride, just in different era.

If you like brain burning drama, try it out, you will definitely love it ?

1.It's a wuxia, martial arts mixed with magical fantasy elements kind of Chinese drama.

2. The ML didn't know martial arts and didn't want to train but later on due to an event he started practicing martial arts [most dramas the lead already knows martial arts but in sword snow stride u get to see the beginning and very steps of the ML practicing and improving martial arts]

3.if u like a type of journey sort of series u should check this SSS drama out, it feels like u can follow every step of the journey and is apart of it and see every step of improvement and development of the male lead's character just like wei wuxian development

4. Like untamed, this drama sword snow stride have many plot twists. [there's a particular character that make me legit cry]

6.each characters even the supporting roles have a story of their own like untamed

5. And the plus is handsome actor and actresses

Difference:
Sword snow stride is not BL and have straight romance and not bromance.

There are no sects but more like a political and kingdom kind of system.

I love untamed and I first watched it back in October of 2019 and from then on I have watched hundreds of dramas and sword snow stride is one of the dramas on the top of my list, feel free to check it out, who knows u might like it ( ??? )

ok, it's only 6 ep on Sword Snow Stride and I might edit this later, but for now : I enjoy this serie as much as I enjoyed Nirvana in Fire (and that's a huge compliment as NIF is my fav chinese drama of all time haha)

The mood is heavier and more "realistic" in NIF and the story isn't the same, but in both series you have solid plots, built stones after stones,and it's a real pleasure for the brain.
Characters are slowly appearing and they all are promising.

The fight scenes are amazing for these two series! They're both great dramas about adventures of the male lead all throughout the jianghu.

The male leads are somewhat similar in a sense that the story makes them the pivotal person of the court and the martial arts world (them being too important) but came from 2 different sides/ends - Fengnian is with the Overlord's side, Ning Que represents the royal family.

Another similar is the personality of the female lead being a very important person in the universe but is concealed/disguised as the lead's maid.

Also, of course, the most obvious similarity is Hu Jun. The roles he played are similar but different as well.

I get the same exciting watching these 2 dramas. Really great watch. Hope the season 2 lives up to season 1 though, because Ever Night fell out on the 2nd installment.
