Knight Flower (2024)

Both dramas have strong and tomboyish female main characters who lived under strong confucianism tradition that limits their freedom. Both of their characters are very ahead of their time. The difference is that the FL in Mr. Queen is actually a modern male soul trapped in FL's body

All the gods will be leaving before the last rain of doomsday. However, an ordinary human girl unexpectedly puts a dent in their plans to retreat thus causing the world to move towards the unknown. Based on the animistic mythology of the Amis tribe, the gods are no longer willing to bless the land that is plagued with environmental issues. One by one, the gods depart the world they once loved. A human girl discovers that the opportunity to reverse her destiny lies within herself and her guardian. Before the final day of judgment, a love story between human and god unfolds.

Both have strong lead. The female lead has no dependency on her counterpart.
It is a period piece. And the darkest secret is yet to reveal...

Different genre, but for me these two have some similarities when it comes to the vibe they give.
As I wrote in my review for My Sweet Mobster, it is kind of like the scriptwriters didn't take themselves too seriously, which resulted in some lighthearted humor.
Both of these shows also showcases underlying issues; for MSM it is ex-convicts' struggles to get back into society, and for KF it is widows' status during Joseon times.

Both dramas tackles issue about yeolnyeo/virtuous lady during joseon era. Both female leads lost their husbands at their marriage day and expectation of both ladies to be loyal to their deceased husband

In the episode 9 of the Fiery Priest season 2. Father Michael and Prosecutor Angela disguise, and the one who cosplay by Prosecutor Angela is her character in The Knight Flower. This story was focus on Lee Hanee but this character was shown in the episode 9 of the season 2 and it's kinda cool to see her again wearing her clothes as Yeohwah.

- Plot is different but gives the same vibes
- Double Life ML/FL
- Daytime they lead a normal life but at night they save people who needs help

- Plot is different but gives the same vibes

Another noona romance where Noona needs no saving. Black humor abounds as well. Mystery plot in both.

Also know as The Memorial Gate for Virtuous Women (???) is a 1962 South Korean film directed by Shin Sang-ok that gives a close up look at the reality of being a widow in Joseon.

The film tells the story of the widow of a nobleman who bears a son after having an affair with her servant. The servant and the baby are driven from the home by the woman's irate in-laws.

Similarities: comedy, past connections, good chemistry, a good story, great supporting characters
