During the Joseon Dynasty, a young woman named Hong Chun Ki is a painter – a true rarity in Joseon Korea, where Confucian values dictate that such pursuits are unsuitable for a woman.

One day, she meets Ha Ram, an astrologer whose fate is the polar opposite of her own: Although he was born sighted, he lost his vision in a childhood accident. Regardless, he is also in possession of an astounding talent that allows him to read the future by tracing the movement of the sky at night despite the fact that he is blind. The duo is sucked into the machinations of the royal court, particularly those involving two princes, the free-spirited Prince Yang Myung and the cruel, scheming Prince Joo Hyang – a man who longs to become the next Joseon king.

Both are historical dramas with palace politics and a childhood meeting then separation between the leads. Both dramas involve mystical powers (shamanism vs. fortune telling/seeing the future) and have a very similar feel and pacing.

In terms of the family, both series had familes that held more power than the kings. Also, both families controlled the royal family.
Recommended by Najiescam
Both are historical dramas involving palace intrigue and a deep connection between the leads going back to their childhoods. In both dramas, one or both of the leads has the supernatural ability to see the future.
