- Though these two historical dramas are about two countries (Korea and China?!), their period setting is quite in the same term (late 19th and early 20th century - colonisation war, nationalist movements, you know there are a lot of huge events happening here).
- Similar main themes of revolution, war, human fates under the wheel of history.
- Their aesthetics are quite alike too (yellowish nostalgic colour tone, big epic scenes, etc.)
- Fun fact: both have placed a part of their plot in Japan setting, given how Japan heavily influenced this period. So get ready to hear some odd Japanese accent dialogue since (I guess) there are no native actors in the films
