- Matriarchies (One contemporary (RSL), one historical (LtHT)). In LtHT, it's a women-only town but there are plenty men in the outside world while in RSL the vast majority of men died out.
- Women trying to win the men's affection
- Female competition (in RSL to win a husband and in LtHT to be able to hunt one, lol)
- Misandry
- Proactive women, passive men
- Shady rulers and a conspiracy
- LGBTQ+ representation
- Both are Thai dramas from the same year (seriously, what are the odds??)
The tone, setting and plot are quite different tho. RSL is a romcom set in a dystopia while LtHT is basically amazons if they were a cult and less fighting-oriented.
