Story of Kunning Palace

宁安如梦 ‧ Drama ‧ 2023
Réincarnation trope. Both FL commit suicide in front of Ml who they believe schemed against them. In new life they do their best to avoid ML and get a new life without trouble, but fate catches up as they inevitably get tangled up with ML.

Looks like a similar plot with FL going back in time and trying to change her future in the palace.

Political intrigue, power struggle, war and conspiracy surrounding the royalty and court officials as a backdrop of an angst-filled romance between two smart and complex leads with their own agenda and ambitions. The empress dowager featured in both the stories give off a similar villainous characterization as well. The female protagonist in TLOA and the male protagonist in SOKP play a similar political chess with hidden identities as their trump cards.

So you like bad boys do you?

Lighter and Princess is set in modern times, but it has the life and death drama of a historical/wuxia and features a toxic bad boy. But, unlike Kunning palace, while he rages and is disrespectful to pretty much everyone, he is gentlest with the main female lead, and genuinely sacrifices his goals for her at various points.

Intelligent and layered characterization of leads with survival feats in the midst of chaos and tragedy. Stories featuring war, politics and rebellion.

A bad boy who suffers the consequences, and ruins the lives all around him.

Good Bye, My Princess features the main male lead as he walks the path into hell. Here, accurately portrayed, as the darkness eats him alive he treats the main female lead worse and worse. Obsessively trapping her and refusing to let her go, even though being with him is crushing her soul.

If you are going to portray toxic romance and dark storylines, this is how to do it.

Both are chinese historical dramas with rebirth plot, strong ML and strong FL. FL gets a second chance to live.

Both have rich narratives that intertwine historical contexts with elements of romance and mystery, providing a captivating viewing experience for fans of the genre.

Both have an historical palace setting with a slight twist of the real world (secondary transmigrated character vs. set in a novel) and a complicated anti-hero ML and FL with excellent chemistry in a slow burn romance. Both FLs have a very close relationship with the SFL who is part of the love triangle/reverse harem of the FL's love interest.

Both are palace setting dramas, with political intrigue and palace politics, also both main leads are in both dramas.

Jiang Xue Ning's obsession to become an Empress causes the rebels to destroy the royal family. She gives up her life for Zhang Zhe's freedom and she is reincarnated as her 18 year old self and becomes a disciple of Xie Wie.

The similarities in time travel and the dynamic between relationships are similar, including the costumes. The fighting rebel scenes are similar in the skills and action scenes.

Aside from the obvious historical setting, there are some other similarities as well:

- the FL is reborn and sets out to change the past
- the ML is seen as evil/vicious and rebellious, but is actually loyal
- the background of the story is court politics and plots
Recommended by Aya
Both are historical dramas in which the FL dies and finds herself reborn in the past, but still entangled with the royal court and events of her former life.
Recommended by emeraldarrows
Both are palace dramas with love squares. 3 powerful men love one woman. A lot of twists and turns and a lot of angst. But very well-written story and great acting in my opinion.
