Both movie focuses on main leads friendship
Really like the chemistry between the leads even though no romance (don't want to add any spoilers)

Both are GL(Lesbian Romance). Both have romance but also deal with darker subject matter, especially the love interest in both Series that has trauma from her past. TRIGGER WARNING, SPOILER (both characters have experienced abuse or SA)

They basically could be in the same universe. In this the female lead has just escaped from where they were confining her and she is just figuring out the outside world. She is still young and other members are after her.

They are both verry gore and have a strong female lead. They both are centered around a big organization that locked up kids, looking for the one who escaped . They are somewhat the same show with one where the girl escaped with her friends and formed a family and the other escaped alone and fighting with herself. I really think they could be in the same universe.

Both productions tell the story of the same man - Lee Rock (Lui Lok), a.k.a one of the most corrupted policemen from Hong Kong

Similar adaptation

Prior to the adoption of Confucianism, it was the tradition to abandon one's parents on a mountainside if they were over 70 years of age. In the ancient kingdom of Goryeo, now modern Korea, a nobleman defies this tradition when he refuses to leave his mother to starve to death.

Both are BL. Also cooking and food is one of the main theme. In sugar dog life, the MLs live together for a while and in Aki and Haru, they live together for the whole plot. A quick entertaining watch

Uncle niece relationship. Rough uncle, weak niece but their relationship growth. Bad and evil people surrounding plotting to break them apart

Both has uncle that just came out of jail, had rough time, live with niece/nephew, both struggle but loving, caring and bonding came naturally.

Another movie that tells the perspective of different characters. There are 3 storyline in Anger (2016). Both movies reminds viewers to not be too quick to condemn anyone without knowing the whole story.
