The Tale of Lady Ok

Both kdramas are historical and have a love triangle where two of the guys love the same girl (not really but similar) both the Fl’s seek revenge. They both give off the same vibe for me.

- Both the Fl’s living under a different identity after getting mistaken for it
- Both Ml’s are the Fl’s first love

- Servant/maid FL
- Strong, hardworking FLs that let nothing stand in their way
- Rich but mistreated bastard ML
- Super supportive ML that adore FL
- ML falls in love first and hard
- Intimate and mature romance with a "us against the world" dynamic
- Both are heavy and melancholic dramas about injustice and classism
- Both have consistent "it gets worse" approach that make them a bit suffocating to watch
- Both dramas are beautiful and moody

The plots are quite different with SoND being a revenge/business story while TToLO is more law focused.

- Strong and grounded FLs that overcome anything life throws at them
- Servant FLs
- Nobleman ML that ends up a commoner (different personalities and situation)
- Rags to riches FL
- Very intelligent ML and FL
- Strong and mature romance with an us-against-the-world dynamic
- Forbidden love x2
- FLs end up taking care of a young sibling-in-law (+ deathly protective FLs)
- Both are heavy and melancholic dramas about injustice and classism
- High quality productions with a strong story, good cast, lovely OST, and stunning cinematography (despite ADltTL being a short length series)

The two dramas center strong women, who do whatever they can to protect the people and morals they hold dear to them, and both face hardships from the people in the palace.

When a total eclipse of the sun takes place, Go Ha Jin is transported back in time to the start of the Goryeo Dynasty of Korea during King Taejo's rule. She wakes up in the body of the 16-year-old Hae Soo and finds herself living in the house of the 8th Prince Wang Wook, who is married to Hae Soo's cousin. She soon befriends several of the princes and meets the ostracized 4th Prince, Wang So. Although knowing she should not get involved in palace intrigues over the succession to the throne, she inadvertently becomes a pawn in the struggle, as several of the Princes fall in love with her.

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.

Tells the story of two former slaves and their life stories......................................................................................

Similar dark vibes in both dramas. Realistic settings, wonderful cinematography and music and interesting, well written characters.
The main leads are enigmatic or have hidden identities and traumas from the past.
No palace politics, but there are noble people and traders which get involved in corruption.
Both dramas treat the theme of child abuse and slavery.
