The Princess Wei Young

Zhu Yan Zhi, disguised as a man, seeks to learn martial arts with an elite clan. Once she begins her intense training, Zhu finds herself at odds with her trainer and superior, Liang.

They are both period dramas with lovely misunderstandings and heartbreaks that will make you cry and afterwards you will be wandering around to find a drama to replace this one!

In 1867, Sin Jae Hyo leads the Dongrijungsa, which teaches pansori (traditional Korean musical storytelling). A young girl, Chae Seon, who wants to perform pansori, appears in front of him. Chae Seon has dreamed of performing pansori since she first heard Sin Jae Hyo perform when she was little, but Sin Jae Hyo turns her down because women are not allowed to perform pansori. Chae Seon then disguises herself as a man and enters the Dongrijungsa to learn pansori, but Sin Jae Hyo doesn’t accept her as his student. One day, he hears Daewongun, the most powerful man in Joseon and the father of the King, is going to hold a national competition of pansori performers known as “Naksungyeon”. Sin Jae Hyo decides to teach Chae Seon, who has a true voice to perform “Chunhyangga". If anyone finds out that Chae Seon is a woman, Sin Jae Hyo and Chae Seon will both face death.

In the late Joseon dynasty, counterfeits were circulating around. Detective Ahn of Left Security Station and a passionate newcomer, Nam Sun, try to trace the source of the counterfeiting. They chase the Secretary of National Security and his man 'Sad Eye' as suspects. A predestined battle between the best woman detective in Joseon, Nam Sun, and a mysterious assassin 'Sad Eye' is unfolded. A magnificent, chivalric film that showcases Lee's style

~ In both drama female lead side family is murdered
~ both have smart and beautiful female lead
~ both have a bittersweet ending
~ both have lots of episodes
~ throne is involved in both drama

both of the dramas are similar as the are period drama. The story line is different but each has it unique features.

Great love plays the first role here. In every drama of this type we also have unheard-of accidents, betrayals, lies, pain and suffering. To deal with this, the main characters sometimes have to sacrifice something more than just themselves, but also others. Will they manage to find real love? Both series strive to fulfill this prophecy.

This are similar because they both are in the historical time of China as well they both are plan around the royal court. Also they show that the main female character as a strong person. As well that the main male character where a part of the royal court . Also there love story is very similar in different ways .

Comedic film of a fusion-historical genre. Cute lover boy Heo Saek becomes Joseon's first male gisaeng and a flower-like woman named Hae Won who thinks ahead of her time, search for true love together.

The plot is quite similar. It is about a girl who was a princess, but her family was betrayed and defamed. She acquires the identity of someone else and makes her way into the palace to try and clear the name of her people. She meets the crown prince and falls in love with him. They go through many trials to be together. While there is no cross dressing it might be a drama many who like Love in the Moonlight would enjoy.

Three sisters fight for royalty, power and pride.
Eldest sister wanted the Queen's throne.
Second eldest wanted someone that loves the main female lead.
Youngest is studious, willing to stand her ground.

Tiffany Tang yang acted in both dramas and there both historical dramas.

These two dramas are different but I think the female lead working her way up is similar and showing how her intelligence can be useful and just how they stand up for themselves is what connects the two and if you like one of these you’ll probably enjoy the other as well.

- It shows the same thing about a girl who survive in the cruel world by herself.
- The power of woman who are smart person.
- Fun to watch.

Revenge plot galore, great productions, great acting (personally like Nirvana in Fire a bit more because it felt more cohesive and Hu Ge was an amazing actor... however, same can be said for luo jin in The Princess Wei Young)
The romance in nirvana in fire is more toned down than in WeiYoung. Both are highly recommended if you like smart heroes/heroines, political drama, and revenge
