In both dramas, the main male lead (ML) is the star of an investigation and enforcement force with many powerful political players seeking to manipulate or neutralize him. He's sucked into the middle, until the main female lead (FL) inspires him to find a way out
In both, the FL has her own ambitions and desires for her life that the ML is happy to support and pursue. The FLs take their fates into their own hands and come up with their own strategies.
A Dream of Splendor however is better produced and is less cruel and sadistic. Also a little less romantic and a bit more focused on female friendship than a main romance.
