I watched untamed first and then Lingjian Mountain and I swear, the vibes are so similar rlly helped me feel better and at the same time have my soul crushed all at once again
- ml is playful and cheeky/mischievous but super powerful, like wei ying
- although not a bl (untamed is based on a bl at least even if toned down), the vibes b/n wang lu and hai yufan have the similar taste as wy and lz but wang lu is way more flirty
- hai yufan and lan zhan are similar in the sense that they're both kinda upright and got their set of morals/rules to follow
- cultivation plot, also lots of misunderstandings
- fight sequences and stage design/clothing v nice
- rebirth plot element
Once Upon a Time in Lingjian Mountain (2019)
Similars
Both demonstrate a clear cut cultivation system and show the protagonist training. Both protagonists are geniuses. Though, Once Upon a Time is a lot more comedy-centric. Ever Night also has its cute moments.
Both are are based in the world of cultivation, different sects and academy. Both have distinct training systems. ML is a genius who's aptitude for cultivation is almost non-existent. Both have great master-disciple relationships. Altho FBS is more serious.
Great team with cool male and strong female character. light hearted funny and a great ending. No sappy dramas. No harem. No female have to choose which male is for her (thus no endless wishes from the audience that the female should be pair with the other male)
has the same comedic feel but its set in a school there's still a big bad but it's not who you think it is at first. both are historical costume dramas. there's brotherhood but there a bit more romance in lingjian mountain. both are a little over the top but the story is quite good so is the action scenes.
Similar kind of broad comedy humour, and cartoonish characters. Both are satirical and both are really quite good.
If you like adventures and unconventional historical dramas mixed with lots of humour, Joy of Life does it on a more polished scale with a much larger budget. Both have a super strong, talented lead.
This is also a wuxia drama, although a bit more serious. World of Fantasy is slower-paced but good nonetheless.
has xu kai and gao yuer, slow burn romance, xukai plays very funny character but smart and caring at the same time much like in AMA
Douluo Continent is a fun drama as well. IT has the element of cultivation world and a great teacher.
Kdrama. Friendship duo turn sour but full with ups & down. Character development, u won't guess who's good who's evil.
A war between cultivation sects is a common theme between them. heavenly swords and dragon-slaying saber has better fight scenes.
- Both dramas has a smart ml who is good at solving difficult situations.
- Both ml was "reincarnated".
- Also they are both a romance drama and the comedy in it is pretty good but not to the point where its so cringy that you want to skip everything.
- Both dramas have around 36 or so episodes
Both series have a main character that is very smart and uses his intelligence to survive and win against others who are physically stronger than him. He also has a very care-free attitude and isn't afraid to bend the rules (or ignore them altogether) which gets him into some strange (and often times comedic) situations.
The story balance humour and action well. They are both about academy's. The romance between the two main leads is similar too
