Summary:
It's a story about a couple who fall in love (but their love is full of conflict). He is a prince obsessed with achieving justice for his own family (And he wants to sit on the king's throne.). And in this attempt he has no qualms about using people for this greater interest. He meets this girl, this warrior, who he secretly paid for her training (she has martial powers). She doesn't know that he secretly trained her (that he is her ruler). She has a lot of strength of spirit, courage and mercy. He's going to need her help.
He has an illness caused in him by his enemies. However, she is poisoned (she is also sick), but he was the one who caused it and she doesn't know. But even when she finds out, she continues to want the best for him and will act to help him get a cure for his illness. (but there will be misunderstandings in this story. He will think that she betrayed him, but she is trying to save his life. He, at a certain point, will think that she died. (And then there is the most famous scene in the book, which is in beginning of the novel, something that happens later on: he goes to her (supposed tomb) and takes her corpse (which he thinks is hers), (And he even carries her corpse.), in despair because he thinks she died.
There is a lot of intrigue in this story and martial fights, and war (and their love in the middle of it all). In the end they stay together. But Chinese audiences tend to hate characters like that (wishing there is no happy ending). But... I really want them to keep it as in the book, for there to be a happy ending. I love this conflicting couple, but who, at the end of the day, will be loyal to the love that unites them.

Both are romance, mystery, fantasy, comedy and wuxia dramas. Both have similarity in plot too. In The Legends demons are hated and misunderstood while the so called orthodox sects kill demons indescrimately and are honoured for that. In the shadows these righteous sects use demonic techniques to become powerful. The demons make a sect of their own to prove how they can be righteous, kind and just.
Both dramas have fantasy, friendship, comedy, wuxia, martial arts and youth elements. Both dramas have past stories and developing plots. There are multiple main leads and there is light slow burn romance. The plot involves people hating and hunting demons, while the main characters try to unfold the real villian's grand plot.
They have similar stylistically choreographed and filmed fight scenes and both dramas feature balanced tonal shifts, they both have darker themes but are also comedic. The dramas also concentrate more on camaraderie and character development rather than being romance-centric. Not mention both dramas feature Neo Hou or Hou Minghao.
Although they are from different countries (one is Korean, the other Chinese), I have to say both are masterpieces. The fantasy element is what really stands out in these dramas. The acting is top-notch in both, and they share common themes such as mystery, powers, romance, friendship, strong lead characters, and humor. If you liked one, you'll undoubtedly like the other.
