Both are Republican Era dramas centered around the FL's revenge plot.
the fl is smart in both and enduring

as you can see the poster is preety much same too.. both are Republican Era mini dramas in which the FL is out for revenge and becomes entangled with the ML in the process.

Both dramas got that fresh story plot
revenge,romance
enemies to lover
both dramas are really similar to each other
cold ml and smart fl

if you see the tags they are almost same they both are short length series and based on fl's revenge but it's just that provoke is in the chinese republican era while dong lan xue is in qing dynasty

there has been actually a refrence to this in the drama if you saw it. CM also deals with criminal profiling and reasoning and gives a informative outlook with an interesting hand gripping story. both also provide a tint of romance and a lot of comradeship and justice skill

firstly... even if you haven't watched better days... it's a great movie.. a masterpiece i am not overrating you can see it has the highest c-movie rating
next.. common things are
- bullying and gangs picking on kids ( in better days it's girls while in whc1 it's boys )
- friendship and love ( love is more prominent in better days like friendship is in whc1 but they are portraiyed as friends only throughout the movie )
- overall theme which is dark showing true personality of non caring system and adults which always don't look both side of the story
- i promise you will love them both give it a try!!

even though the plot is not the same typically as in Master of my own the ML is the boss of FL but in She and her perfect husband he is just a household husband but the one thing that ties them together is the resiliant personality of FL. In both they are hard working and determined not to give up. so if you liked Fls personality and need motivation this is it
