Another Korean drama of Kim Tae Ri who took on the main protagonist role who strived for their goals and faced obstacles they had alongside the way
Recommended by Farah Safi
Jeong Nyeon character in webtoon was inspired by Kim Tae Ri's Sook Hee in The Handmaiden. Both are women centric and starred by South Korean actress Kim Tae Ri.

Both are Censored version of Same Sex Original Work.

The women are expressing their love thru giving gifts and acts of service.

Both have great cinematography and discusses the role of women in the society. You Yi being a writer, Yan Wei who owns a photo gallery shop, Jeong Nyeon, Yeong Seo, Juran and all the students of Maeran Gukgeuk being theater actresses.

Both tell the story of a theater drama artist's struggle from zero with all the obstacles. But in Jeongnyeon there is a queer element in the story
Recommended by Bozzmoms
It takes place in the same time period. It is a female centered series. It has sapphic/queer characters. Hardworking women fighting for what they want.

both series are female-centric and show us hard-worl, rivalry between them, there's gifted fl who's poor also and both fl's mother was gifted in the past etc

~~ spoiler ~~
even there're episodes about main lead loses her talent (for one is her voice, for other one is her taste ability)

Both shows are about women who dreams to become a great artist/performer. The major differen ce though is that Hwang Ji Ni also focuses on the lovelife of the female lead while living as an artist/performer while Jeong Nyeon doesn't seem to be that way.
Recommended by Sageuk Lover
Both are female centric dramas in which the FL is pursing her career and faces set-backs and difficulties along the way. Both dramas have a similar feel.

Comedic film of a fusion-historical genre. Cute lover boy Heo Saek becomes Joseon's first male gisaeng and a flower-like woman named Hae Won who thinks ahead of her time, search for true love together.

Jeong Nyeon: The Star is Born talks about yeoseong gukgeuk an artform in South Korea that incorporates pansori and stage performances that features all-women casts and some of them needs to portray a male role. Farewell My Concubine it talks about the Peking opera and some men portray dan (female) roles.

Both stories have implied same sex romance between the characters: Hyerang and Okgyeong, Jeong Nyeon and Juran for Jeong Nyeon: The Star is Born. Cheng Die Yi and Duan Xiao Lu on Farewell My Concubine

Similarities:
=> Main characters are part of an entertainer group where all members of their group are of their gender (Jeongnyeon focuses on gukgeuk indoor theater while King and the Clown focuses on performing plays in the streets)
> Have characters that often play characters opposite their own gender in their performances (Jeongnyeon and Okgyeong in Jeongnyeon, Gonggil in King and the Clown)
> Implied same sex romantic relationships on some characters

Both shows are set in 20th century with traditional performing arts (in Winter Begonia - Peking opera, in Jeongnyeon - pansori) as the main theme and setting.
Both have motif of "following your dreams" in performing.
