Guan Wen, known as an “invincible opponent for unreasonable clients”, rose through the ranks in a foreign company. But just before her birthday, Guan Wen was framed by her inferiors and chose the “naked resignation” (without the security of another job). It is said that when you are over thirty and have accumulated a lot of experience, you can choose any career you want.

- Revenge
- Angst
- Leads have an "Us against the world" dynamic
- Strong FL x Strong ML (FL from DLX is a martial artist while in RftA she is not)
- FLs are no damsels in distress and take control of their life, story and revenge.
- Both leads are smart, cunning and manipulative (similars attract)
- Girlboss x Malewife vibes
- Mature romance with both as eager participants
- Sibling rivalry
- Strangers to allies to lovers (two broken people coming together for a common goal and falling in love)
- Absolutely smitten, devoted, supportive and slightly (adorably) jealous MLs
- One lead is unfavored and bullied within their family while the other lost their family

Hidden identity - rich people pretend to be poor, love develops after marriage, jealous try to destroy the relationship.

Okay, so they are VERY different BUT the sibling dynamic is similiar, with a glass child and a disabled (autistic) sibling/cousin.

Basically, a sibling with a disabilty makes another sibling appear invisble to their caretakers. In other words, the disabled sibling's probems make the abled sibling's problems appear insignificant, which prompts the parent to 'look through' the glass child, instead of seeing them for who they are: a person /child with needs, problems, and mental health of their own.

This often results in unrealistic expectations, where the glass child is made a (secondary) caretaker of another child. In both dramas the glass child is younger and they love their sibling dearly but also can't help feel resentment for the needs that weren't/aren't met because of the space taken up by the disabled sibling and their problems.

It's often tragic because the ressources are few and the disabled child takes up most of them -- and the caretakers believe that the abled sibling is better off than their sibling, and thus are 'strong enough' to handle the neglect. The whole situation stems from love (and faith in the glass child's mental strength) and yet the glass child often feels either unloved, underappreciated, or invisble -- or all of the above. And they feel guilty for their resentment towards the situation because it isn't anyone's fault, it just is. The caretakers are trying their best, the disabled sibling is often unaware, and the whole thing just sucks all around.

The struggle is real and both dramas portray it well.

By the same creator and screenwriter, Kang Full. Many similar genres (thriller, mystery, supernatural). Moving leans more action while Light Shop leans more towards horror. Director of Light Shop, Kim Hee-won, was also an actor in Moving.

Plot wise, they don't have much in common (except for the presence of demons and deities and different realms), so this recommendation revolves more around the general vibe and aesthetic of these two dramas.
If you like how things look in Lost You Forever, from the outfits to the colour palette of the scenery to the special effects and props, Love Between Fairy and Devil might just be your cup of tea.
