The Lotus Casebook (2023)

Although the Mysterious Lotus Casebook (MLC) is not out yet, they have a similar plot about a powerful character that disappears; then re-appear after a period of time to fight calamity. Both dramas have the same ML and includes a level of bromance (From what I saw in the trailer). If you like one definitely give the other one a chance (when it comes out)

Sick/weak ML whose a genius mastermind and hiding under an alias? Friends who are skilled in martial arts and have to protect him? A love interest that cannot be, but mutual respect? Good story? Solving cases and undoing evils of the past? Check check and check!! While Nirvana in Fire is an older drama, it's a cult classic for a reason. If you loved the dynamic between Li Xiangyi/Lianhua and friends, you will definitely grow to love Mei Changsu

Sword Snow Stride is similar to Mysterious lotus casebook because both habe following aspects.
Wuxia genre, heavy sword fighting skills, martial arts scenes, cunning protagonist, genius and strategic male lead, heir male lead, warrior male lead, light romance

Friendship that trying to seek justice and to help others li liahuan is like same to wei wu Xian because both of them did go truth a lot and a difficult time and for how both wang yibo and xiao zhan was investigate i can say that to find the truth of who is behind of everything becuase wei yi was not believe that he is the one that kill those people i mean that was true i was not the one so i can say that even cheng yi and jeng fang and wang yibo and xiao zhan the investigates was difference but still investigating.

Same actor playing the main lead and aired on the same platform (iQiyi) and there are strong action/fight scenes.

In both, two skilled male leads associate with each other. One is severly injured and there supposedly is not any way to save him. In both, one male lead is very knowledgeable about martial art sects and matters ( Li Lianhua et Zhou Zishu). Also, there is a treasure everyone wants to get.
In WOH, the ultimate rival of the male lead is the other male lead but in MLC, the ultimate rival is the third male lead ( Di Feisheng).
MLC is about several cases connected to each other because one male lead is a detective whereas we can't say that there are cases in WOH even if the male leads investigate about some things.

I think both features really good friends who considered each other as family ( or "soulmates" in WOH from the words of the male leads ).

Both dramas have
- Male centered plot
- Investigation
- Mystery
- Solving cases / detective works
- teamwork
- bromance
-fantasy / wuxia elements

Strong male lead, got betrayed and/or lost his power, hid his past, and start a new identity. Lots of brotherhood.

Deals with mysteries and case solving by a clever ML. Has side kicks but more on the Wuxia side but similar.

Bromance between 2 male leads. Detective type scenarios.
Even though it's not a wuxia, the vibe of this show is the same as MLC.

Slight similarity in the detective works and cases that were interesting and enjoyable to watch
fighting is good
detective dee disciple
intrigue and mysterious cases
warm and relaxing drama to watch
minor romance

Both have a likeable gang of characters solving cases.

Young blood's cases are more engaging and consequential whereas MLC's feel more like props. MLC is a higher budget production, though YB is arguably better in most areas such as plot, characterization, and acting.

For non-native speakers, MLC may be more accessible and an easier breezier watch.

Unlikely friends solve mysteries together. There's bromance (MLC wins this one), interesting stories, hidden tribes and sorcery, the works. Good atmosphere, personal plot linking the MLs, good support cast in both cases.

Same main two leads of both dramas
Same friendship between them
Both dramas are wuxia drama
Both dramas are unique because Cheng Yi is the main lead of them

Both contain case-solving, humor, and heartfelt moments, and a grand arc that spans the entire season.

BoT is a modern, supernatural investigative procedural that pushes along the main character arc at a brisk pace. It matches the quality and style of some of the best Hollywood procedural shows in mixing side-splitting absurdist humor, astute social commentary, and heartfelt moments. The show replaces bromance with a more team camaraderie and realistic romance between ML and FL. The engaging and consequential cases and grand story arc culminates in an exciting finale.

The biggest issue is the poor subtitle quality limits the accessibility as much of the hilarity and context of the show may be bungled by subpar translation. Though fluent Chinese speakers will likely enjoy this quirky hidden gem.
