Kangchi, the Beginning

I found the two series relatively similar, the men are strong fighters, you cry your eyes out watching random scenes (either because you cringe for the bad acting or fangirl over touching that man's perfect body), as always the main girl is annoying, stubborn as a mule and won't take no for an answer. The perfect nosy woman that people like for no apparent reason.

The difference between the two of them is the fact that Suzy can't act and Jang Geun Suk is cutter than Lee Seung Gi.

Conclusion?! Just watch Hong Gil Dong it's actually much much better..

Although the stories are completely unrelated both dramas star Lee Seung Gi and Suzy as leads, if you like the pairing you will want to watch both dramas.

Both are historical Korean dramas with similar pacing and tone, with the first couple/few episodes focusing on the ML's parents before the ML grows up and becomes the focus of the story. Both MLs have superhuman strength and are feared/wanted to be killed by others. The FLs are the ML's second love, not first. Both featuring supporting characters who are courtesans and are heavily involving in the politics of the country. The villain remains largely in power/on top for the entire drama, only meeting his end in the final episode.

Non-human-human relationship. The leads gets together and separated by fate. Both cuples meet still children.

Both are historical Korean dramas that have beautiful cinemaphotography and tell a tale of star-crossed lovers. Both also deal with underlining supernatural themes.

Both of them are talking about a main role the not a human..but the other is not
And both of them ends with the died of the main role
But gu family book is historical drama ....
But you should like it more than orange marmalade...

Both dramas are a fantasy-romance in a historical universe.
Both leads have supernatural power and try to find a way to get ride of their curses to save their lives and finally be able to live a normal life with their beloved.

If you like historical dramas with a lot of action and a slight comedy, these two are definitely your type.

• Exploring the Gumiho Lore: Both dramas center heavily around the Gu Family Book / Gumiho mythology and the ultimate quest or struggle of a mythical creature living among humans.
• The Half Human & Special Human Dynamic: While Gu Family Book follows a half-human, half-gumiho male lead, Human X Gumiho features a unique human male lead who is a powerful shaman and immune to fox magic.
• Flipped Gender Roles: Gu Family Book started with a tragic love story between a male Gumiho and a human woman. Human X Gumiho flips this classic trope by featuring a powerful, 2,000 year old female Gumiho.
• Fate and Forbidden Romance: Both shows deliver a gripping, destiny bound romance where a human and a supernatural creature must overcome the dangerous boundaries between their two worlds.

- both the male lead have supernatural power or something even though the main lead of gu family book is not a prince or soon to be king.
