These dramas are historical romances with great cast. In both dramas ML is obsessed with FL and jealous because of SFL. FL in these dramas have similar personalities. SFL in both dramas is kind and protective but makes bad decisions that hurt FL. Both dramas revolve around power struggles and the plot takes place mainly in palace. Ending of Scarlet Heart Ryeo is similar to ending of Good Bye My Princess.

Nous avons une femme du monde moderne qui se retrouve coincée dans le corps d'une autre, et qui cherche à retourner dans sa propre époque.
- elle doit s'adapter à l'époque,
- elle doit faire face aux sentiments de deux hommes,
- elle a un caractère complètement différent,

On pourrait dire que ''The Eternal Love'' est un mélange entre ''Oh My Ghost'', ''Splash Splash Love'' et ''Moon Lovers''...

Both have time travel and romance. Both are great dramas and On Dal reminds me of Wang So, a little bit.

The Rise of Phoenixes made me think of Moon Lovers Scarlet Heart Ryeo. Both stories are about a prince who is abandoned by his imperial father, and mother. Both princes are used to fighting and murdering since their childhood. They have to compete with ambitious siblings in the struggle for the throne. Both are emotionally scarred by family issues, but super smart in plotting and survival. As for the love interests in both series, those girls are both too nice for their own good.

Similar storyline where the FL travels back in time through an accident from the modern period to the past and found herself entangled between guys who sought after her. However, in Oh! My Emperor, the FL knows the ML before this happened.

In comparison, Oh! My Emperor is lighter and has more fantasy and magical elements than Scarlet Heart Ryeo, which is heavier and a lot more serious and political.

Both loosely based on true historical events with creative license to history.

Good cast, cinematography and story.

In both FL knows about the future (fate of the ML) and trying to change the course.

ML and FL have great chemistry and a good love story. Both have love triangles.

Both have tragic ends, but it's worth the watch.

Both take place in Goryeo and have a love story. Hong Jong Hyun plays a main charater in both. In SHR, he plays an evil brother plotting to take the throne. TKL, he plays Crown Prince's best friend. The locations in both shows are extremely beautiful. Lee Joon Gi and Siwan's characters fall in love with the female leads who care for them. Lee Ji Eun (IU) and Yoona's characters go through many hardships.

Both Female Leads are always protected and loved by more than 1 male character. They are both talented in the arts.

Both Male leads are often recognized as scary individuals and will go through a deep character development once they meet the female lead.

Both deals with family issues (evil relatives trying to steal the thrown and kill their family members) and has a forbidden love concept (Romeo & Juliet vibe).

It seems both dramas represent same period in history. Also, never ending throne war is a common point. My Country gives me same vibes as Scarlet Heart Ryeo.

When a total eclipse of the sun takes place, Go Ha Jin is transported back in time to the start of the Goryeo Dynasty of Korea during King Taejo's rule. She wakes up in the body of the 16-year-old Hae Soo and finds herself living in the house of the 8th Prince Wang Wook, who is married to Hae Soo's cousin. She soon befriends several of the princes and meets the ostracized 4th Prince, Wang So. Although knowing she should not get involved in palace intrigues over the succession to the throne, she inadvertently becomes a pawn in the struggle, as several of the Princes fall in love with her.

Both are historical dramas. Both have very intense romances between the leads. Both are tragic dramas. Highly recommend both, as long as you're prepared for the tears.
