Recommandations

Both are adaptations of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms following the character of Cao Cao. They focus less on war and action and more on characters and drama.

Both use poetry and symbolism to further the storytelling.
Both explore the melancholy and regrets of the MCs. The way both movies are shot gave me the same calm but also shattering atmosphere around the MCs.
Both portray LGBTQ+ relationships.
Moonlit Winter also depicts the MC’s relationship with her family.

Both are serious scary horror works.

Both are Very entertaining in this genre.
