Both have very similar male and female leads in personalities and capabilities. Both male leads give off the impression of being weak, but are very intelligent and have built up their resources/intelligence network over time. Female leads are cunning and lovable. There is both a political and family plot, and most importantly, the dynamics between the leads, trust, and teamwork are exceptional with little to no miscommunication.

The main female lead is very clever and resourceful. In both dramas the focus is family and relationships. The romance is a bit slow but still lots of fun. ML is calm and smart.

The storyline is quite similar: Both FLs get sent away to the countryside as young since they are disliked by their family, especially by the concubine. They return years later for revenge, and both FLs are very smart. The MLs are strong, very cunning, and smart, and both MLs help the FLs avoid danger and take revenge.

Both shows have a similar vibe: historical setting, two male leads trying to clear their master's name, and a romantic relationship between the ML and FL where she initially believes that they are siblings . The mix of mystery, loyalty, and slow-burn romance is strong in both, making them feel deeply connected in tone and story.

Females leads believe they are siblings with the male leads. Male leads secretly know they're not really related and fall for them romantically. Female leads eventually reciprocate their feelings.

FLs story more on the family side while MLs dealing with palace politics
Both FLs are smart and don't like to rely on others
Jealous family always have scheme to bring FLs down
MLs become FLs closest confidant and always help FLs behind the scene
MLs have secret identities
Romance only blossom on the latter part of the story
