Both Jun Jiu Ling and The Double share many thematic and structural similarities, particularly in how they explore intrigue, vengeance, and hidden identities within historical settings. Here are the key aspects that make these two dramas alike:
1. Vengeance and Redemption
In both dramas, the central characters are motivated by the desire for vengeance after being wronged. In The Double, Yang Caiwei is murdered on her wedding day and returns with a new identity to uncover the truth and seek justice. Similarly, in Jun Jiu Ling, the protagonist seeks to uncover the secrets of her past while fighting against those who have wronged her. The theme of redemption and righting past wrongs is a strong thread in both shows.
2. Historical Intrigue and Political Power Struggles
Both dramas unfold in a historical setting and focus heavily on political and familial power struggles. The Double is set against the backdrop of a sinful city where the characters battle for control and survival. Jun Jiu Ling, although set in a different historical period, similarly delves into the complexities of power, betrayal, and manipulation, particularly within the court and noble families.
3. Hidden Identities and Deceptive Appearances
A major similarity between Jun Jiu Ling and The Double is the theme of deception. In both series, characters hide their true identities to uncover hidden truths and navigate dangerous political environments. Yang Caiwei assumes a new identity after her rebirth in The Double, and similarly, the characters in Jun Jiu Ling often conceal their true motives and backgrounds to survive in a world of political machinations.
4. Complex Relationships and Betrayal
Both shows also focus on complex relationships marked by betrayal. In The Double, Pan Yue is initially believed to be the villain, but as the story unfolds, it's revealed that his love for Yang Caiwei was genuine. In Jun Jiu Ling, characters grapple with personal betrayals and the shifting dynamics of loyalty, particularly in a setting where trust is often tested.
5. Strong Female Protagonists
Both dramas feature strong female protagonists who, despite facing immense odds, navigate their worlds with intelligence, strength, and resilience. Yang Caiwei’s quest to uncover the truth and confront those who wronged her in The Double mirrors the determination and bravery of Jun Jiu Ling's heroine, who rises against adversity to uncover her family's secrets and fight for justice.
In summary, Jun Jiu Ling and The Double both center around deeply layered characters who seek justice and navigate a world rife with political intrigue, betrayal, and deception. Their journeys are marked by themes of revenge, hidden identities, and the struggle for power, making them highly similar in tone and narrative.

-princess FL who wants revenge on emperor for her family's death, ends up losing in the first attempt, comes back later with another identity
-smart and strong fls
-heavily political
-smart and strong fls
-heavily political
With JJL series starting out automatically with her trying to survive with a fake identity it automatically remind me of Wei young.
Both FL gets a new identity as they plot for revenge for their family. Both FL comes from royal family taking on the identity of her maid or family friends identity.
It is the story of female empowerment what these two series have in common. BiA has definitely more modern feel...

- FL wholeheartedly loves the people.
- FL has been engaged multiple times LOL!
- Family of FL are very supporting and loving.

Both drama:
The acting is top-notch and not just pretty faces.
In "The Story of Ming Lan", female lead suffers from neglect from her family especially her father, fortunately she receives love from her grandmother. The female lead is intelligent and witty.
In "Jun Jiu Ling", female lead is a princess but live as other identity to revenge.
Although both drama is not the same situation, I think both just have a great plot and extremely well written.
If you like Ming Lan, you will like Jiu Ling too.

The synopsis of "Story of Yanxi Palace" honestly seems fairly bland which is typical historical palace drama involving the inner harem fighting for the emperor's affections, and bla bla bla which is definitely different from "Jun Jiu Ling" storyline.
These two different dramas found common ground. Both drama have strong and smart female leads. Both drama have plots such as revenge, royalty, politics, etc.
If you love Wei Yingluo, you will love Jun Jiuling.

It has a princess in it too who is smart and can see through the bad guys.
They don't ruin the FL character like they do in Rebirth for you.
The male leads in both dramas are highly intelligent and head over heels for the FL's
and surprise they aren't toxic and always support they're lovers, as they should duh.
If you were frustrated with rebirth for you towards the end, I assure you they do not do that in jun jiu ling.

FL "dies" and comes back in another girl's face/body. FL is a strong, intelligent, and clever character who takes revenge upon those who wronged her. The ML is a good fighter with the FL his weak spot. Both are historical setting and part of the plot revolves around a plague outbreak with the FL attempting to find a cure.
