Jenipeo
USA
Both MLs are widowers with 3 kids to take care of. Both FLs come from poor families and help raise/tutor MLs' kids.
Similarities:
-Romantic comedies
-Historical China setting
-Strong, sassy FLs who know martial arts and aren't the traditional "virtuous" wives who recite poetry and all that gentle stuff.
-Good supporting characters (especially <3 the family in AGLM)
-Strong second male leads with military background
-Scheming woman who hates the FL and thinks too much of herself
-Political scheming
-Relatively short for historical C-Dramas (36 and 40 episodes)
-Misunderstandings between the main leads
AGLM was adapted from a novel, while TLBH was adapted from a manhua
Slight fantasy themes: In AGLM, the FL sees the future in her dreams, while in TLBH, they are hypnotized to forget and then remember the past. (I am not saying hypnotism is fantasy, but they way it is portrayed in this show is less-than-realistic.)
The love story in TLBH is admittedly more passionate and there is a lot more skinship and realistic kissing/love scenes, while AGLM is pretty tame.
