Leads who knew eachother as kids reunite in a school setting. Female leads are both gym teachers and male leads are both rich businessmen. Bickering dynamic between them continues from childhood into adulthood all as romance ensues.
Both are about the female lead getting sucked into a novel she’s disappointed with. LGIEF’s FL is writing bad reviews when she enters, and TSS’s FL is writing fanfic to fix the issues she has when she enters. They go along with the story and develop a goofy/banter filled relationship with the second ML of the novels, which later develops into romance. MLs are both the ‘secret’ author of the novels in both.
Both of these series have very complex and intelligent writing in terms of framing suspicion. They'll have the viewer convinced of who the killer is based on what they've plainly laid out for us, only to then shock us and turn us on a new path towards someone else- again and again.
Both feature a love story between a blind woman and man who is a gangster/criminal with a scarred face.
