Perfect Crown and Princess Hours, or Goong, are both set in an alternate version of Korea ruled by a constitutional monarchy in the 21st century. Both dramas follow the marriage and romance between a woman, who is a commoner, and a man, who is of royalty. What started as an arranged and contract marriage, eventually turns to something real.
SAME V?BEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
Perfect Crown and The Last Empress are both set in an alternate version of Korea ruled by a constitutional monarchy in the 21st century. Although the story and plot differs, both dramas follow the marriage between a woman, who is a commoner, and a man, who is of royalty.
Both of these shows are about a power couple, with themes of marriage, divorce, conglomerates, relationships with your in-laws, and differences in social status in romantic relationships. The FLs in both are quirky and misunderstood. I feel like the romance, comedy and melodrama balance is similar in both of these.
Both IU dramas.
Both dramas with a FL romance with a prince and palace intrigue going on in the background.
In Moon Lovers, the FL is trying to avoid palace intrigues, while in Perfect Crown she's driving herself there.
Both beautifully directed and acted. Great chemistry between the leads.

Both series have the same energy, rich people fighting for hierarchy, but this one has no royalty. Both the male and female leads are from rich families. Same concept of marriage before love, the male lead is used by his family and suppressed, the female lead is illegitimate and prefers to be independent and away from her family’s politics but she is an introvert unlike IU’s character but quite a bold lady.
similarities:
- A royal dealing with the modern world
- A headstrong FL who clings to the ML for her own survival.
differences:
- My Royal Nemesis is a modern fantasy that has dialed up the comedy, and shows an enemies to lovers romance between two selfish individuals. For more information, watch the promotional material:

cdrama and different occupations or setting but the same funny and bold dynamic where the rich and smart woman CEO explicitly, confidently, and funnily chases and proposes a contract marriage to the handsome and calm, revered man (in begin again its an admired doctor top in his field, in perfect crown its an admired prince acting as the regent) who actually wants love and rejects the offer at first but gives in to help the female lead who is subjected to prejudice and pressure in their family or status.
The FLs are very similar:
*Both are 'illegitimate daughters' who joined their families around 7-10 years & caused a lot of tension & heartache to their stepmothers
*Both FLs are sharp, successful, no-nonsense, attention-loving business women admired, feared, & respected by all
*Both FLs outshine their brothers, against all stereotypes, and are obviously better candidates to take over their families' business empires
*Both FLs put in work on their 'forbidden' relationships, & end up with tall, handsome guys who are totally crazy about them

The Empress is in her early 30s, but she is still not married. Since the 1st successor to the throne died, the royal family is in search of a new successor. Incidentally, they come to know of a young man who was, in fact, the prince's son of a woman who left the Palace in order to keep her pregnancy a secret. The young man's name was Lee Hoo, more commonly known to his friends as Kang Hoo.
Lee Hoo worked as a delivery boy at a Chinese restaurant and was known for his 7-minute maximum delivery time. Lee Hoo had been brought up as more of a punk than a prince so his habits and his way of conversing were very different from the people of royal blood. Although he had never dreamt of living in the Palace, he one day finds himself immersing himself in its grandeur and improving himself to prove that he indeed deserves to be called the Successor to the throne.
He soon finds out that not only will he be facing lessons on the path of royalty, and dilemmas of love and of stature, but he will also learn to compete for the position he had been, first and foremostly, called for.
