both have similar plots as they relate to conspiracies during the Joseon era and gave off the same vibe. When I was watching Conspiracy it reminded me of Baek Dong Soo so much even the ending was quite similar. If you liked one you will also enjoy the other :)
Conspiracy in the Court is similar to Takryu (The Murky Stream) in that both are Joseon-era dramas driven by corruption, systemic injustice, and moral ambiguity rather than romance or palace spectacle, focusing on characters who operate in the shadows of power—investigators, outsiders, or men with compromised pasts—whose personal survival and sense of justice collide with entrenched political rot, secret networks, and conspiracies, creating a dark, grounded tone where truth is dangerous, loyalty is fragile, and justice is pursued at great personal cost.
