Both center a tough, pragmatic female lead who can hold her own, and shows little interest in the man romantically pursuing them. The male leads introduce problems the female lead has to contend with to push the plot forward. Each has dealt with a power imbalance in the relationship and the tension that it creates. Apothecary diaries is more of an external mystery focusing on medical and political cases, while yakuza fiancé is more of a psychological mystery focusing on understanding the characters– particularly Kirishima.

Both shows allow the natural world to flourish organically as it intertwines with the plot. Both also have characters who approach the world philosophically and scientifically in their own ways. Finally, both emphasize how little humans (May ever) know about nature, and emphasizes the ways in which people are captivated by its beauty, mystery, interconnectedness, and danger. There’s a sense of magical realism with each and its visually stunning.
