The Imperial Coroner is quite a bit lighter, lower budget, less political and more comedic but i couldn't help but think of it while watching Secret of Three Kingdoms.

The vibes in both dramas were similar. Remote (spooky) villages, abandoned forests, interesting side plots and folktales with supernatural elements
- Contemporary matriarchies
- Quirky leads
- Gender role reversal (more present in TOHoMaY)
- Social commentary (feminism)
- Lots of comedy despite heavier themes
- Bright and bold aesthetics
- Slight but unique bromance
Premise and story wise they're very different but I couldn't help but feel their vibes were similar.

TEP had the folk fantasy elements that SToTD promised. Their similarities in this sense lie mostly within the first case of SToTD, including...
- Lots of martial arts
- Dark culty vibe
- Forsaken brides
- Demons of all kinds
- Two bickering men
