A specialist in a different field joins the police force to help solve crimes. In “Under the Skin”, a master painter and portrait artist becomes the partner of a police captain. In “S.C.I”, a specialist in psychology and hypnosis joins the special criminal investigations team with his childhood friend- a police officer. While “under the skin” isn’t exactly BL and isn’t even tagged as bromance, their relationship in this season is similar to the lead’s relationship in “S.C.I”, which is based off of a BL novel. If you like crime-solving, action, intelligent characters, and BL undertones, these might be for you!
Both are based off BL novels(forced into romancer in the series however). They both have mystery themes, and special forces to deal with crime. Guardian is more supernatural based however, but if you enjoyed one of these, you'll most likely enjoy the other.
Interesting cases , two male lead, strong and pure bromance with no romance and make me hope and waiting for season 2
Killer and Healer has a very similar vibe to S.C.I. Mystery. The two main characters have a yin and yang type relationship. Good and evil, but able to get along to the point that they work well together.
They both have one character that is a cop while the other is in a different field. The bromance is strong in both dramas.
both:
- revolve around hypnotism-related crimes
- revolve around a task force team designed to handle these odd cases
- feature a police captain and a psychology/hypnotist specialist as the main leads
- feature hypnotism as the main theme and asks the question of whether it is good or bad
- feature a mysterious villain who has plotted everything since the beginning
- leads are not friendly with each other at first but begin to grow closer
SCI is more light-hearted, has more comedy and focuses on the strong bromance between the leads. It doesn't have too much police procedural in it, making it a bit more fast-paced while handling more cases.
Desire Catcher is a lot more serious in tone and has a lot more realistic police procedural in it, making the pace a tad slower but still enjoyable. It takes itself seriously and is a bit more graphic in the cases they deal with. The leads slowly come to like each other and work together.
It's also related the solving cases with one of the male leads being overly smarter then an normal detective. The bromance between the two male character are similar, but I think for S.C.I. they toned it down.
- Both have a special investigation team
- Both involve the use of psychology
- Both feature a bromance (but ofc way more heavy in SCI)
- MC's are similar
- Both have an overarching villain behind the cases
- Both are light-hearted and often humorous
SCI does most things better than Visible Lie, especially regarding the main villain.
Visible Lie has better acting.
story is similar, two male characters fights for the justice. Two of the characters in the shows are different kinds of nature and humour. Both show is bl/bromance with comedy + dark scents
Both are similar in that there are two male leads who have known each other since they were young and now work together in solving crimes through detective work. Both shows have a heavy bromance.
Both shows delve into human psychology and have a main character that is teetering between good and evil while the other main character is determined to keep them in the light,
S.C.I has a higher production value and is more action-oriented while RHGHHnS is more akin to Sherlock and solving mysteries. Both are excellent!
In both dramas the leads try to solve the mystery of a psychopatic killer, who uses the mind games to play with the police. Both dramas have comedic aspects, love-hate relationships with the leads, depend deeply on psychology and both are related to the LGBT content.
Don't MISS out. Bro..friends??. Supernatural horror + investigation. Too much worry for one another u would have thought they 2+1 have been friends for a long time. Expression, emotion is what u will get from them like untamed, guardian. Got recognition from international awards. Waiting for the movie
It's similar in so many ways
the obvious Romance
the suggestive BL situations
the bickering between them
one is light the other is serious
the detective cases
S.C.I Mystery is also adapted from a BL novel and just like The Untamed, they were not afraid to show that part XD
Both dramas are about solving crimnal cases also in both of them we have a psychopathic killer who is obsessed about one of the characters (in both of them the psychopath knew the main character as a child but they don't remember it) who is very popular and knowleged in his field and uses his knowled to solve criminal cases. Also two of main characters are polar opposites.
- they are both produced by Youku
- They are both adapted from a novel
- they both are BL
- both the leads are hot AF
IDK! I can think of anymore! But both dramas are just cute and show aspects of BL which passed the China censorship so I'm happy!!
