One actor is same and had good chemistry with other ml so we get a good bromance, this story has three main caracter two ml and one fl and all three of them make a good and strong team, but both ml have a good amount of moments and amazing crime and investigation story line, and plot twist are amazing especially last one it's unexpected and super, really enjoyed it
DON'T ASK JUST TRUST ME
SYNOPSIS: It started off peculiarly; first, his domestic cat refused to let him cuddle it. Lin Qiushi soon found that a sense of disharmony and incongruity began to pervade everything around him. Then, one odd day, he pushed open a door, and he discovered that the hallway he was familiar with turned into a boundless corridor. At both ends of this corridor were twelve, identical iron gates. Thus, the story began.

I would say both are episodic dramas cause there are different cases/stories for every three/four episodes but there is still main plot throughout whole series
Main characters of two shows gives the same vibe, they understand minds of killers/monsters while being really kind hearted, both of them have above average skills (hearing/drawing) and they're very observant and ingenious
Both shows have amazing mystery elements and outstanding ways to solve problems
Also good music and found family trope

Some similarities:
- a group of people end up in a game and have to complete various missions/levels
- they have to solve tasks, fight enemies and, above all, survive
- friendships and rivalries develop between the players
- here and there we get a bit of bromance
- we get to know the characters within the game and also get an insight into their real lives outside the game
- they are trying to find out more about the origins of the game
- the main character of Geats and the main character of The Spirealm are very connected to the game for some reason and both are very smart
Some differences:
- in Geats each player transforms into a Kamen Rider and can find or win a "mission box" that contains a "raise buckle", this gives them additional armor, weapons and abilities
- in The Spirealm they participate in their normal appearance and don't transform, but sometimes they equip themselves with items or weapons that they find in the level
- in Geats the focus is particularly on exciting and action-packed fight scenes
- in The Spirealm there is less fighting and a lot of focus on solving the mystery in each level/"door" to finally find the "key" to finish the level
- the atmosphere in The Spirealm is more oppressive and creepy, there are a lot of horror elements

Both dramas are similar as both main leads need to accomplish the mission in each story to get to the next story and eventually getting to the main goal (12th door/changing fate). The main lead in The Journey time-travels to the different times & places in her past lifetimes to help others resolve their past conflicts collecting a drop of tears from certain person (moving closer to changing her fate) whereas the main lead in The Spirealm enters the different doors with different stories/games to accomplish mission obtaining the key and clue to the next door (until they reach the final door).
Both of these are BL of the "Unlimited Flow" (continuous horror games) Genre.
In Earth is Online, the main character is cold/calculative while the male lead is very strong and strategic.
In Kaleidoscope of Death, the main character is very adaptable and the male lead is a survivor.
While Earth is Online is a bit more on the comedic side, Kaleidoscope of Death is very raw with its characters and you can truly feel their despair in every world.

The MC and ML of both stories are really similar. And, in both stories, the two have a backstory with one another.
Earth is Online focuses a bit more on the arcs and what exactly the towers are/do.
Global University focuses a bit more on the inner turmoil and character relationships.

- greatly written main characters
- alliance between main characters
- fighting for greater good
- main characters against the world
- loveable side characters
- straight romance between side characters
- fantasy world, supernatural
- investigating and conflicts with others
- long and comlex storylines
- bromance/bl
- based on novels
- censored adaptation of same-sex original work
The whole story of both of the shows feels odly familiar to each other. The pain and suffering when watching the series, left big impact on me, i can't even explain why and how, it just did. You can find bromance in both of them, that's probably why you here. The Spirealm takes place in our world how we know it, but with some future developments. It tells story about people being stuck in a game, VR to be exact. However, The Untamed takes place in ancient China, which is totally different from The Spirealm, but it still has some similarities between them. The whole story is pretty comlicated if you ask me in both of the series. You'll have to really pay attention, if you miss something, you can get lost easily. There are lots of good side characters, which is not really common, they're very likeable and greatly played out. But, if i'm gonna talk about acting, The Untamed made me laugh by the worst acting i've ever seen. The acting doesn't include main characters, they were extraordinary. I'm gonna talk about side side characters. They weren't almost seen, maybe that's why it was so bad. Just look at some fighting scenes, you can see clearly what i'm talking about. I think they forgot that we can see them, i don't know.
The Untamed is lacking some good CGI effects, it's something that i hated when i fisrt watched it. But don't be mistaken, the show is really good overall, but this is something that stands out a lot. There's no way we can change it, let's just recognize the fact and move on.
I feel that if you liked one of these, you'll like the other. It has the same vibe and energy, terrifying and tension moments, sad and torturing scenes, but also some nostalgic and pleasant moments that makes you feel odly satisfying. Also, both of them are a threat to Chinese censorship, which led to some unexpected actions. So, if you like scandals, this two shows will make you cry because of it. I hope you'll enjoy it. Have a nice day

I've been looking forward to this ever since I heard it would have a drama adaptation cause the novel is one of my favourite. I almost had a heart attack when I heard it was released ( for one hour). The drama did justice to the arcs and characters; the actors were perfectly cast and had great chemistry. However, they changed some things ( added some characters / removed some) and removed my favourite line, which made me a little upset. One thing I didn’t like was the change in the plot for the last doors. I was looking forward to seeing the plot twist from the novel, but because of censorship, they changed the concept to gaming, which also altered the plot twist. Nonetheless, the actors, actresses, and crew all did an excellent job. The songs were also great, and the script was very well done. I'm glad I lived long enough to watch this
