If you want a similar Korean drama to Pursuit of Jade then I recommend The King in Love.
Both dramas have female leads that are good at martial arts but enjoy a life of freedom of their own. They’re both secretly daughters of important people but assume another identity for safety. The male leads also assumes secret identities. The character list is also full of visuals!

The most prominent similarity between these two dramas is the cinematography. The camera angles, framing, blocking, color grading, visual effects, lighting, all so strikingly beautiful and well-done! The details are something to appreciate.
Aside from cinematography, they do have similarities with the mood, although not much. They both also feature strong female leads who has a secret identity.

Both Pursuit of Jade and Back from the Brink starts with a male lead and female lead who were just minding their own business until they finally meet.
A secretly powerful male lead who’s injured. A strong female lead who turns out to be someone crucial and important to them and the story. A love that looms after spending time together, which starts unintentionally.
Cinematography wise, Back from the Brink is far from Pursuit of Jade’s beauty but premise wise, there are some similarities.

One of the greatest chemistry of all historical dramas....
Nice costumes and BGM. Their love story is a must to watch. Highly recommended.

There are some similarities between both dramas:

ML has a hidden identity
ML has a high position and great in war strategy

(Shadow of love keeps me remember Superman, he is like the Superman in ancient times. I really enjoyed the ML FIGHTS . If you like superhero movies, you will definitely love it. )

•FML has great fighting skills ( in POJ I really love how she fights with her butcher knife)
•Family members had to die for schemes(in GTG FML's aunt had to die )
•ML has a hidden identity (has a very high position and respected, feared by all)
•Political schemes, strategies, war (In GTG war between sects and demons, among the sects)
•They get apart thinking they won't meet again
Though it's not similar, but in POJ , The side couple has a very toxic, sadistic love-hate relationship (Qi min and Yu Qian Qian) though I hate forced painful torturous relationship, but they did a great job. Yu Qian Qian's hatred towards Qi min, and Qi min's obsession towards Yu Qian Qian has added some nice spices in this drama.
The storyline of POJ is very great. I couldn't skip even a minute, I had to watch every minute of this drama because it's very addictive.
If you like strong FML and ML, great fighting, wuxia plot with journey to save the country and family, work together with friends to solve problems, and you don't mind a slow burning love then POJ is for you. 100% recommended. A must watch.
And if you love fantasy, ML chasing FML storyline with friendship, family love and protect everyone, then GTG is for you.

If you like Pursuit of Jade, then you might like The Road to Glory. Both are historical romance costume dramas starring Zhang Linghe as well as the same screenwriter, Zhou Yue. Both center on a love between high ranking nobility and a commoner, seeking truth and revenge in the midst of war, battles, and palace court intrigue. In The Road to Glory, the male lead rises from the ranks to become powerful while the female lead experiences a fall from grace and goes on a mission for revenge. Their love and alliance is put to the test.
Both of these dramas star Tian Xiwei as the female lead.
In both stories, the heroine is strong and optimistic, and she comes from a commoner background.
They both include comedic elements that are handled very well—funny without ever feeling awkward. The supporting characters are friendly, kind, warm, and very supportive.
The overall atmosphere is cozy and healing, with a slow-burn romance between the male and female leads that gradually unfolds.
These stories make you rediscover your love for life!

There's not much similarities between them, but just in case if someone want to watch it, the similarities are:
Strong FML
FML is from humble background (her real identity is a God)
ML has a hidden identity (for first couple episodes)
ML is very powerful and highly respected and feared by all (God)
Strategy and politics
As you can imagine from the title of the drama, it's a drama about the feud between ML and FML. Though this drama is highly debatable among viewers for FML 's actions towards ML, but I thought it was reasonable and justified.
I mean, come on, it's feud ! So would it be logical if FML kept being lovey - dovey with the ML? There's misunderstanding, anger, frustration, hatred. So of course she would behave like this. If I were her, I would do the same. I really felt sorry for her.
I enjoyed it.
This drama has a very nice twist that I never imagined. It has nice eye catching costumes, excellent visuals and it has a happy ending. Highly recommended. A must watch. If you like hate to love or love to hate drama, you will enjoy this one.
