?Similarities:
• Both dramas seek to adapt the life of Hwang Jin Yi, a famous gisaeng;
• There were 3 men involved in the lives of the two protagonists, romantically or not, they had some impact.
• Sacrifices and tragedies. Both suffered a lot throughout their lives, sacrificing their dignity and losing their shine.
That said, it's up to you to decide if you think it's worth it. Particularly, nothing beats the 2006 series for me.
