One and Only

周生如故 ‧ Drama ‧ 2021
These two have similar vibes in terms of tragic love story and a couple stuck in politics and war. All the settings, beautiful and colorful cinematography, talented casts make even better. If you loved Goodbye My Princess, you will also love One and Only.

The shows give me similar vibes because of the somewhat taboo or forbidden love. Also, the pain and angst. The cp in OnO doesn't argue like in the Red Sleeve, but the apparent love but not admitting it at first is the same.

One and only is a prequel of Forever and Ever. Watch one and only first in order to understand the deep love of main characters.

Both MLs are royal generals who position is viewed as a threat by the court, despite him having no interest in the throne, and the court tries to prevent him from marrying or having children. TSPL ends happily, OAO tragically.

"Queen for Seven Days" revolves around the tragic love story of Queen Dan Kyung and King Jung Jong during the Joseon Dynasty, focusing on the challenges they faced due to political strife, betrayal, and tragic circumstances. It's set in historical Korea and portrays the struggles of characters within the monarchy.
It's similar to One and Only in the sense that they're both historical dramas. They both have tragic love stories as a result of a fight for the throne. Both princes had their own army and group of followers who were loyal to them. Just like in One and Only, it portrays the struggles of the people during a period of monarchy or tyranny so to say. In both dramas the kings and the princes are in a love triangle with the female leads. Both dramas have a theme of sacrifice, as the main characters have to give up their happiness and freedom for the sake of their country and people.

One and Only and Feud both ask the same heartbreaking question: what happens when love is buried under duty, grief, and impossible choices? In both, Bai Lu shines as a heroine whose love is deep, enduring, and quietly devastating — Cui Shiyi with her patient devotion, Hua Ruyue with her compassion twisted by loss. Both stories build romance out of restraint: love that’s not shouted from rooftops, but lived in sacrifices, glances, and the weight of what’s left unsaid. If you’re drawn to relationships where silence speaks louder than words, where love is fierce but fragile under the hand of fate, both dramas deliver in spades.

Where they part ways is in tone. One and Only is tragedy wrapped in tenderness: it breaks your heart gently, giving you fleeting moments of warmth and family before fate snatches it away. Feud, by contrast, leans harder into grief and moral ambiguity — love entangled with anger, misunderstandings, and wounds so deep that even “happy” moments carry shadows. It’s heavier, more relentless, and better suited for viewers who want to sit in that ache and explore how love and hatred can blur into one another. Both dramas will make you feel, but in very different registers: one a beautiful heartbreak you’ll cherish, the other a storm of sorrow that lingers long after the credits roll
