Da Xi is a good cook who dreams of finding herself the most handsome husband. When meeting Royal Guard Shao Yong, it was love at first sight. Needing to stay near him, she enters the palace as a maid. She soon realizes that she's been fooled and needs a quick escape. While scaling a wall, she encounters Emperor Ji Man, who thinks she's an assassin whom he must stop. Something magical takes place: their souls swap. Now, she is the Emperor, and he is the fleeing maid.
The storyplot is almost the same given Time travelling from modern era to Joseon era and vice versa.
The link between the MC also started with a letter written by the King on the said era. While in BAYM, it was the King's journal which linked the MC together.
I learned about the food Omu Rice in the drama RP, while lots of Korean with French influenced dishes were introduced here in BAYM.

Set in the same era, Rebel: Thief Who Stole the People isn’t a fusion sageuk but a traditional one, but it delivers a layered, powerful take on Yeosangun. It doesn’t redeem him but shows the cracks that turned him into a tyrant. And I think watching RTWSTP will give you a richer lens: you’ll appreciate even more what could change in a time-slip scenario in BOYM once you understand what caused those cracks in the first place.
Another fusion sageuk with a time-slip premise, except this time it’s a Joseon scholar who suddenly finds himself in modern-day Seoul. What makes it shine isn’t just the clever historical twist but how beautifully it balances romance, humor, and history and the lead chemistry is still considered legendary. Both even use a similar time-travel mechanism tied to text , so if you like the idea of history being bent by love and fate, this one’s a must-watch.
It tells the story of the soul exchange between a prince who has lost his smile and a saddle-carrying merchant who has lost her memory.
Joseon Crown Prince Yi Gang, who lost his crown princess, gave up his own happiness and only thought about revenge. When Yi Gang's long-planned revenge plan finally took the first step, he met the saddle-carrying merchant Park Dal I who looked exactly like the deceased crown princess, and exchanged bodies for unknown reasons, falling into a series of chaos.
