Both dramas have

-female leads who have to fight against the script
-characters that are victims of prejudiced thinking and harsh judgement by others
-a story that questions the popular or common patterns of story telling in idol romance dramas
-make a point about the "supporting characters" also being people, not furniture to fill space around the "main couple" so it doesn't look to empty
-romance that doesn't consist of fluff, but building a real connection between two people, while the circumstances don't make it easy for them
-bloody scenes/torture

The CDrama is a historical fantasy, while the KDama is a modern fantasy based in a high school. In the KDrama FML behaves like the main character, who is rich, and has a cold fiance/bf who doesn't like her. She has a heart condition so she faints a lot and can die any time. One day FML finds out that she is a book character, but not the main character, she's one of the support roles, who's used to connect the real ML and FML. Her fiance/bf isn't the ML in it either. Days go on, and she has to follow the set script until one day she notices someone who is not even a support but a background character who doesn't talk or interact with anyone. She takes an interest in him... And the real story starts.
From the trailer of the CDrama, they seem pretty similar in terms of concept. But what is unique is the setting and how will the characters be portrayed.

Smart Male lead with an a**hole dad.
Crafty female lead.
Imperial family drama.
War.
Great action scenes.
Second Male lead was a childhood friend/sweetheart who can't understand rejection and makes it everyone else's problem. (vastly oversimplyfying the complexity and nuance that led to their turn to the darkside but yeah)

Although one story's main premise is set in modern time while the other is set in ancient time. Both involve a modern-day girl who enters the world of a book/script and became the female lead, then together with the fictional male lead of the story, they overcome many obstacles and changes their predetermined fate.
Feng Miao Jun, a princess of the fallen Anxia Kingdom, crosses paths with Yun Ya, a cruel master from Wei. Despite initial distrust, their fates intertwine. Together with Master Mo Ti Zhun and Saintess Han Yue, they become close allies in their battle against the Heavenly Demons. Through trials, love, and mutual support, they grow into powerful beings capable of facing all challenges.
