Story of Kunning Palace

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.

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

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.

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.

both have a strong female lead
a noble family being accused of rebellion
male lead being smart from childhood
male leads with mothers who have passed away

Similar due to the mix of the Jianghu and palace concepts. Both are palace dramas with wuxia elements, although Who rules the World is more leaning towards wuxia with palace drama, while Story of Kunning palace is more palace drama with wuxia.


Both also have strong female leads who are very smart.

female lead in SOKP and OAO is Bai Lu, both dramas are chinese historical drama adapted from a novel

SOKP intro: A fallen queen, Jiang Xue Ning, who aspired to have the highest power and authority in her life was held hostage by rebels after the king, Shen Jie, was poisoned. In this life she used everyone around her to reach the authority of the queen but at the end she remained under house arrest and Xie Wei slaughtered the entire city. Later, she received the decree to be buried with the emperor. She got a second chance to change her fate by not entering the palace but when she woke up after rebirth, she was already messing around. Even though she vowed not to enter the palace, certain turn of events again entangles her with the palace and Xie Wei whom she hated the most.

OAO intro: Zhou Sheng Chen was raised by his brother, the Emperor, until the age of thirteen, when he set out to defend the border and establish himself as a loyal and accomplished general. Cui Shi Yi, the well-read daughter of an esteemed family, has been betrothed to the Crown Prince since birth. However, political scheming and tragic events result in Cui Shi Yi falling mute, her former fiance becoming a child Emperor, and Zhou Sheng Chen returning to the capital amidst a cloud of political turmoil. Against the Cui family's protests, the Empress Dowager Regent changes the terms of Cui Shi Yi's betrothal. Her new fiance is the Emperor's sickly, young companion and the future Crown Prince, if he can survive long enough to come of age. Zhou Sheng Chen accepts Cui Shi Yi as his disciple to resolve lingering animosity between the royal family and the Cui family, and Cui Shi Yi suddenly finds herself leaving her sheltered life in the capital for Zhou Manor in the Western State. Despite their differences as a mute and sheltered young noblewoman from the capital and a battle-hardened general, Zhou Sheng Chen and Cui Shi Yi soon form a strong bond as master and disciple. However, their relationship is impeded by their respective principles and responsibilities, while the ongoing power struggle in the palace constantly threatens to entangle them both once more.

costume drama

only diff is that it is miniseries
and kunning palace is not

Both FLs die and return a few years in the past. They initially try to avoid the ML who they feared in their first life and blame for their deaths, but begin to see them differently. Both MLs are obsessive in their love and very unhinged.

Colossal dramas, revolving around kingdoms and also about the politics of the country.

A man who is actually a woman, a love story that pierces the soul. The chemistry of the main cast is extraordinary.

both male leads volunteer to sacrifice themselves for the crown prince to protect him. this results in them going through hardships and being tortured. resulting in a long-term disease that can not be cured. one of the differences is that the crown prince in one remains in the palace protected whereas as the other the crown prince is hidden away again protected. political intrigue betrayable, romance and revenge

One is the drama, the other a variety show with the cast.
.................................................................................

- Both have very strong lead characters
- Characters are clever and don’t create misunderstandings
- Both have a serious main plot, that is accompanied by slight humor, just in ShenLi ML is the mischievous one, while in Kunning FL is
- Both have minimum of unreasonable side characters

Both FL know the events that will happen and are reliving the story. While the romance of tiger and rose is about the screen writer becoming the main character and trying to stay alive until the ending of her story, she realizes her mistakes and flaws in her story and tries to fix things. In the story of Kunning Palace, the character relives her past and tries to do things differently to change her future and tries to redeem herself by doing things differently this time.
