- Royal escorted on a dire mission
- Fight against all odds + constant danger
- Small group of warriors vs constant attacks
- Interesting cast of characters
- Thrilling action
- Similar final escape

WotD is quite a bit slower-paced and more focused on the adventure rather than the politics. WotD also has no female characters while QW is female led.

- Crown prince MLs (ML in Kingdom, SML in WofD) (In Kingdom he's the crown prince but should be the king and vice versa in WotD)
- Said royal ML is forced to leave the capital, survive out in the wilderness, run for his life and ultimately build up a force of resistance.
- Weak, pampered royal ML that grows up and matures throughout the story
- Hardened soldier/warrior SML that dislikes royalty but comes around (SML in Kingdom, TML in WotD)
- Dark, gritty and realistic tone and aesthetics with quite some gore.
- Action, adventure, war, survival
- Commentary about class and social issues

Main differences is that in Kingdom is a zombie disaster drama while WofD is an adventure/surviva/war film

Daerib Forces is a movie that explores Gwanghae's rise to power during the Imjin War, while the movie Masquerade is a glimpse on the life of Gwanghae as a king, years after the Imjin War.

- Historical war movies
- Older protagonist/younger protagonist duo
- Protagonists are outnumbered heavily but still emerge victorious
- Battle against all odds
- Heartfelt and emotional
- Beautiful and well-shot

WotD is slower paced and focused more on a travel while TGB is more focused on the big battle (duh).
