Yu Jiao Ji (2022)

Both are about a captured merman and the relationship that develops between him and his captor. Both relationships are a mix of love and hate.

Dilraba is the female lead in both. While The Blue Whisper is a xianxia & Legend of An Le is a historical wuxia, her characters in both have certain similarities, for instance, both Ji Yun He & Ren An Le/ Di Zi Yuan are strong, valiant, intelligent & indomitable protagonists, unwilling to submit to their harsh fates and they fight their way to turn the tables around, sacrifice for their countries and also give up their most valuable things in life for their love. Both have formidable, devoted male leads who sacrifice for their love. Both are heart-wrenching, painful love stories, filled with sisterhood, brotherhood & patriotism.

Completely different in tone and plot but MLs are both mermaids who cry pearl tears and are abducted at some point by a human, then freed by the FL.

Very different in tone and setting, but both feature main characters who are mermaids and are abducted at some point and freed by the other main character. Both are romances with lovely visuals.

- Both dramas are fantasy dramas;
- ML is infatuated with FL;
- ML are fairy tale creatures;
- Love stories of supporting characters are interesting

A fantasy that goes through ups and downs, happiness and angst where the leads are equally heroic. It has more 'logical' plot devices vs this one with so many transfers of power you lose track as to who has and who no long has that power and yet...can do magical things without it!
