The Sign (2023)

The characters experience supra natural capacities to see what is happening to the other.

The heroes are young special force trainees investigating on a series of crimes . It's a quality show with good actors, great cinematography and an important budget.

It's action, and the production-level is high quality. The two also has plot that are not main character-driven, meaning that it does not heavily depend on the progress of the romantic relationship between the two leads. The parallel of the two main leads of the two series are also uncanny.

Under The Skin is also a cop show with a supernatural-esque vibe, and while there is no BL, the relationship between the ML's is really great.

Both have action, a mystery and two hotties going from bickering to jumping each others bones, with love of 18+ moments between them. The Sign has a bit of a supernatural twist, but they still feel similar.

Romantic BLs with mythology theme with a strange connection from their past lives and having visions from the past.

Both BL dramas include the theme of fated love from a past life and other mysterious elements - at least one of the main characters is not a regular human.
