Both are historical dramas from the POV of the servant class, with tall and strong MLs and an initially spoiled and headstrong FL who has character growth.

Both FLs are sold as slaves/servants and fall into a completely different status in which they must learn how to survive and navigate. Both MLs are mysterious, quiet, and stoic guards and killers who have hidden secrets.

The backstory of GFB is quite similar to Maids, in that a spoiled nobleman loses status, suffers, and is forced to become a servant, causing her to become involved with a quiet, mysterious man.
