A Familiar Stranger (2022)

Both FLs are face-swapped by another woman for her own goals. Both FLs have a past connection with the ML who recognizes certain distinct things about the FL that reminds him of her true identity. Both MLs have a frightening aura about them but are very loving toward and deeply in love with the FL.

Both are historical fantasy dramas that involve characters who can change their face to another person as well as court politics. In both there is a SML who is obsessed with the FL.

Both are mini dramas with a similar tone and feel. Both leads seem to have a past connection, and the FLs have a false identity or motivations as well as a distinctive scar.

Despite the plot differences (no face swapping), the dramas have some similarities, albeit small.

The main similarities:
•The male leads are generals
•The female leads are painters
•The relationship is slow but trusting, the ML will steal your heart

The amount of episodes and their duration are longer but it's worth it. You may need to have patience with the FL and the particular storyline but you might enjoy it. Give it a try!

Both are historical mini dramas in which the leads met years before when the ML in armor was wounded and rescued by the FL. Both FLs have distinctive scars and later have their faces changed. However the ML in AFS is much nicer.

There is no face swapping but there is identity swapping. 2 girls exchange places. The main couple has good chemistry and it is a fun watch.

Both short period dramas have the FL spy on ML and later do not wish to continue. Follow my dear general is more fluff and light whereas a familiar Stanger is a more polished production.

Both are historical and involve the leads, seemingly strangers, marrying at the beginning. However, it is revealed that the leads met years ago briefly and still remember it, but one either failed to see the other's face or has changed their face, meaning the ML only recognizes the FL after their marriage by a distinctive scar she acquired that day. Both MLs have a young daughter.

In this world, mostly people do not come across doppelgangers of themselves. But, there is a chance for two doppelgängers to exist. For some odd reason.

Written/Directed by the same team. Similar aesthetic and vibe. Same intriguing and mysterious style of storytelling. Unusual plot, not the same o’, same o’. Great story development despite the short episodes. Romantic, heart-fluttering, with some giggles and humor too. Sexy, but still very sweet.

I recommend this both drama because , Male lead and Female lead
try to solve problem
In one drama explosion and another student murder/suicide

This is a has a similar spy storyline but the setting is political instead of the martial world, and the overall tone is lighter and not as dark. Ryan cheng is the male lead , and his character is like a combination of both male leads from this series. The main female lead isnt as cold or manipulative as either female leads in this series, she’s more innocent but not naive. The second set couple set of characters are more immoral than outright evil and which gives them more interest.

This is a short series approx 12 min. per eps. the story is more compact and world building isn’t as rich in detail, but it’s still an enjoyable watch.

This drama is also about sister switching soul, not face this time. But the story (r)evolves around her and two man (again two) who both have a huge thing for her.

Both are short (short drama vs. short movie), fantasy/historical genres, and have the same actor and actress as the main couple. Both FLs were the MLs first love, and return to him with a different face.

Both dramas involve the FL having her face swapped with a different girl, and a ML who knows and loves her from her past lives/identity.
