Both are the projects of the younger generation of actresses, Kim Yoo Jung and Kim So Hyun. Aside from the typical wealthy/powerful male lead poorer female lead setup that is so common it hardly counts as a similarity, one thing I appreciated in both, and that I hope will become more common in dramas, is that the characters simply trust each other. There are no major misunderstandings just to bring out the angst, and not too much noble idiocy. It's nice to watch a communicative and trusting couple, that surprised me every time by not falling into the common traps k-dramas lay.

First of both the female leads are crossdressers, and the male leads later on the story find out their a female. Both the story sparks romance between a crown prince and a commoner. Overall the whole concept is quite similar with both stories also having a love triangle.
(PS both are really cute shows and I really enjoyed em!)

Both these dramas show the FL and ML with chance meeting and not knowing each other's real identity - which is funny since the FL treats the royal ML like a commoner - of course this helps them develop the relationship
Both dramas, the bodyguard is an unwitting ally
FL serves at side of ML in an effort for ML to keep them around - even though it is not looked on as okay by others
Both, Bickering-type dynamic and both FL always getting in scrapes with the ML saving
Bodyguard is the coolest character in both dramas
Jinyan is MUCH lighter and not as well made
If you like Jin Yan, Moonlight is a much better interpretation of a similar storyline

Both have woman disguising themselves as men and both grew up like that. Empress Ki is also a bit more entertaining depending on what you want to look at.

- Both FL's take on a role to disguise themselves as a man. They both go through similar problems for an example in "The Chang'an Youth" the FL ends up going to college to find more about her friend's family history and to delay a marriage that ended up in her place, while in "Love in the Moonlight" the FL ends up working as an eunuch in the royal palace.
- In the end, the ML's falls in love them, but first questions themselves if they're falling in love with a "man".
- As they fall in love with the FL'S, they both find out about the their identities/disguises, which causes trouble along the way! How will these two stories unveil itself, go watch them both to find out!

**Keep in mind that "The Chang'an Youth" is a Chinese drama, while "Love in the Moonlight" is a Korean drama**

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.

Despite differences in plot (L&tE has fantasy elements), FL is a servant who falls in love with royal ML. Their relationship is sweet and lovely and the plot has many fluffy moments with some serious ones.

it also has an interesting plot! The main leads are daebak and they are like the young historical version of Song Joong Ki and Song Hye Kyo . Park Bo Gum is playful and smart like Song Joong Ki and Kim Yoo Jung is intelligent and loves to help people like Song Hye Kyo in DOTS. LOVE IN THE MOONLIGHT is HIGHLY recommended! You will regret nothing after watching this drama :)

Choi Han Gyul is the grandson of chairwoman Bang of Dong-in Foods, a company that has a thriving coffee business. He has never had a job and does not care for responsibility. Han Gyul is hung up on his first love, Han Yoo Joo, who only sees him as a friend.

When Han Gyul and Eun Chan meet, he, not knowing that she is a girl, decides to hire her to pretend to be his gay lover so that he can escape the blind dates arranged by his grandmother. After getting an ultimatum from his grandmother, Han Gyul takes over a rundown old coffee shop, later renamed "Coffee Prince," to prove that he's capable, to both his grandmother and Yoo Joo. In order to attract female customers, he only hires good-looking male employees. Eun Chan, desperate for money, continues to hide her gender to get a job at the Coffee Prince.

Similar girl disguised as boy plot device; similar level (high!) of chemistry between leads and both a quality watch.

The male leads are initially fooled by the female leads dressing/acting as males but learn relatively early on in the drama that they are actually women. Cute chemistry all around and a quality escapism romance drama in both.
