1. Novel adaptation of the same author
2. Strong, powerful & intelligent female leads
3. Stories deal with conquering demons.
4. Both unconventional xianxias.
5. Strong, devoted male leads.

- relationship between beasts/demons and humans;
- fights;
- weak ML with hidden power;
- FL with hidden identity

Both dramas are fantasy, romance and wuxia genre. They have xianxia element. Humans are carelessly hunting and destroying the MLs who are demons/magical creatures. The MLs magical creatures/demons together with the brave, smart and powerful Fls are doing everything protect the all races.

Both are Historical costume drama, with Fantasy, Romance n a bit of Comedy genre. Both has a strong male lead with a status. The female leads are both kinda smart yet not strong physically. Their lives are somewhat depended to the male lead.

I recommend this both drama because , Male lead and Female lead
try to solve problem
In one drama explosion and another student murder/suicide

Neo Hou shines in Back from the Brink and has more chemistry with FL in this fantasy drama while it was not 'wuxia' compared to Dashing Youth---one could argue that DY was more fantasy as well since so much of the "fighting" was just using "techniques" that had everything to do with CGI than actual cheorographed fighting/sword play.
So I recommend BttB as a far more compelling story where the lead (this time the Female) becomes"evil" but goodness prevails.
