The breath taking visual effects in LGIEF really took me back to AOS. The plot is not remotely similar however the overall feel of the drama makes me feel like I'm watching something like AOS. The dynamic and chemistry of the ML and FL is alluring in both dramas.

This story follows the sweet and “overprotective” newly-wed life between Someya Yukito, a young master of an established inn in Asakusa, and Tsuruoka Io, a pure-hearted female apprentice training to be a chef. Tsuruoka was in the depths of despair until she found solace in the sweet konpeito candy given to her by Someya. Since then, she has earnestly cherished her feelings while training as a chef. Yukito’s affectionate words and actions reserved only Tsuruoka, along with his excessively cute jealousy, create an irresistibly heart-fluttering devotion with a charming gap that’s impossible to resist!

The fate of these people become twisted due to "hwanhonsool" (the soul of the dead return to the living). In the country of Daeho, Jang Wook comes from the noble Jang family. He holds an unpleasant secret about his birth, which people all around the country talk about. He's a troublemaker. Jang Wook happens to meet Mu Deok. She is an elite warrior, but her soul is trapped in a physically weak body. She becomes Jang Wook’s servant, but she also secretly teaches him how to fight. Seo Yool comes from the noble Seo family. He seems perfect with good appearance, intelligence, and strong martial arts skills. Go Won is the crown prince of Daeho. He hopes to become a generous king.

Both FLs are spies/assassins
Both MLs have a mysterious birth background and people do not take them seriously.

These two dramas have a lot in common in terms of fights, suspense, and different sects. For AOS there is the mages who have different powers/ skills and for MJTY there is the Gong residence which has different families with different abilities. there is also some light humor in both dramas that eases the tension.

The whole drama is about soul swapping.
Set in a fictional country called Daeho that does not exist in history or on maps, it is about the love and growth of young mages as they overcome their twisted fates due to a forbidden magic spell known as the "alchemy of souls", which allows souls to switch bodies. It follows the story of an elite assassin named Naksu, whose soul is accidentally trapped inside the weak body of Mu Deok—Jang Uk's servant from a powerful and noble mage family in the country. The young master of the Jang Family, Jang Uk, holds a dark secret about his scandalous birth. He wants the formidable assassin to help change his destiny.

If you like the aspect of a strong independent female lead who works hard and had multiple men protect/love them, these two dramas got it.

Although they are different genres and taken place at different time periods, they both have a lot of similarities. The main male lead is very stubborn and at times rude. The other 3 male characters that follows around the female lead loves her for different reasons (there is the childish cute boy, mature and cool guy, and guy friend personalities). The support characters for both have an amazing story of their own. Both very funny. A few love triangles.

Really enjoyed watching Dr. Cheon and Lost Talisman, reminded me of the first "The Mummy" film, as a series "Alchemy of Souls" and "The Untamed" are also great examples of adventures in the supernatural world.

How is this and why is this not compared to "Goblin"?
This drama is basically the Goblin of 2022. Now, this isn't about popularity but because of the setting, it is given.
Even though both dramas have huge gaps in the plot, the essence is the same. A rom-com, fantasy thriller with heart-wrenching scenes to cry.
We got killer leads (literally), magic that fulfills, romance to die for, MLs who are imperfectly perfect, awesome FLs with brains, and endings with pain.
Just how did we forget?

The Legend is a drama when I watched as a child. It was released in 2007. It had similar feels with AoS. Both are high level fantasy historical dramas with special powers and magic. Both dramas have unique plots and great casts.

In both Dramas you will see very different things, but both have this fantasy of struggle and predestined love.
