Rookie Agent Rouge (2016)

Police officer Pang Hong Mei amid the many obstacles created by U.S. and Jiang spy agents, rescued Ji Danyang, a patriotic scientist who returned from the United States from the enemy spy. She accompanied Ji Danyang to Lumen City to participate in the "Water Drop Project". Enemy special forces formulated a sabotage plan codenamed "Operation Rock" and concentrated their forces and tried to destroy the "Water Drop Project." Pang Hongmei and Ji Dan Yang fought a life-and-death battle with enemy agents in Lumen, thwarted the enemy's conspiracy, protected the "Water Drop Project" and finally achieved the expected success. The couple who went through the test of life and death, also realized their dreams and firm ideals.

*Stronggg FLs; RAR more mental, AOTB more physically. Both can kick-butt though.
*Both couples fighting against Japanese control of China, same time period.
*MLs have the whole baddy-but-actually-am-a-spy-so will- help-FL-out persona
*Romance... uh, yeah.
*Bittersweet endings, but not tragedies.

I find both these dramas so underrated... I'm not sure everyone will like both as I think RAR mostly has a lighter tone. But give them a go, it's not the end of the world if you don't like them both. Official sites if you want: AOTB on youtube w/ subs, RAR on Viki.

They both have the same feeling to it with badass FL even though they have different plots. Both are great series anyway I don't really know how to make a recommendation so bye.

both female lead have a good hearing allowing them to know more about their surroundings and deal with emergency cases. both male lead have strong and rightous personality. both female lead being used because of their talent, both female lead getting used in order to protect someone dear to them.
both has romance (:
