Yi San is about Dong Yi's great-grandson. The old king in Yi San is the same character as Dong Yi's young son. The main romance plot is also quite similar. Both kings in the drama have a queen who can't give him a child. The king's main love interest is a humble ordinary young woman with a special talent in arts (Dong Yi plays haegeum while Song Yeon from Yi San loves to paint). (Something funny for me is that the actresses for the female leads, Han Hyo Joo and Han Ji Min, looks similar). The main female love interest also has a warrior brother like who has a one sided love for her. You could also notice the similar directing style of both dramas, both were directed by director Lee Byung Hoon (not the same person as actor Lee Byung Hun) who also directed Jewel in the Palace. They also have the same writers (Jewel in the Palace writer is different though, writer for Jewel in the Palace is the one who wrote Queen Seon Deok).
If you enjoy watching Han Ji Min falling in love with a crown prince in Rooftop Prince, Yi San is also another story where we can see her fall in love with a crown prince.
There is a great genuine chemistry between the crown prince and Han Ji Min's character despite the fact that her romance with the crown prince seems impossible.
Be mindful that Rooftop Prince fans might not like the politics of Yisan or Yisan fans might not like the modern era in Rooftop prince, but both dramas are worth watching to see a blossoming romance between a crown prince and Han Ji Min's character

=> Both works are about King Jeongjo
=> Han Ji Min is in both but her character in Fatal Encounter is not as nice as her character in Yi San.

both tell the story of king Jeong Jo. TFE is action packed film focused on assassination attempts of King jj where Yi san is tell the life history of king jj including famous assassination attemps on his life.both are excellent and worth watching.
TFE has superb cinematography in a historical setting.

=> Both are retellings of the love story of King Jeongjo and his beloved concubine Royal Noble Consort Uibin Sung (her real name is Deok Im but she's called Song Yeon in Yi San).
=> The court lady is shown to have a special talent (painter in Yisan, storyteller and writer in Red Sleeve).
In my opinion, Yi San should be the top recommendation for Red Sleeve fans, come on people, they're both MBC dramas about the story of one of Joseon's best kings and his beloved concubine.

these shows are completely different shows but have little things in common... palace is about a woman who travels back in time... but the common ground is a maid who eventually marries a royal, and about the schemes of concubines/consorts who schemes and plots for the throne... palace my be more on the comical side at times...
If you wish to watch a more interesting take on this certain timeline in Joseon history, better watch YiSan. Both dramas have something to do with the arts (painting) and the mystery of the death of Prince Sado.
They are both about a romance between the king, and a lowly peasant who later becomes one of his concubines. There is also hate towards the main lead girl due to her low social status, and if you have seen Dong Yi, Yi San is King Sukjon's (the king in Dong Yi) which is also the king in Jang Ok Jung, is his great-grandson.
If you are curious about Yi San and him love life, I definitely recommend watching this kdama. You will have seen that it is not right for Yi San to appear in history under the name of bromance like this. In fact, if you want to watch Yi San's love life, I suggest you check out "The red sleeve" kdrama. Also appearing in this kdrama are crown prince Sado, Yi San's father, and king Yeongjo, his grandfather.
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.
