Both have a few similarities -
* Both have love triangle.
* Both have two royal bloods
* Conspiracies
But the ending of Hwarang is much better that KIL. The FL of KIL is better than FL in Hwarang. The comic aspect is more in Hwarang. That's what I felt.

In his early years, Oda Nobunaga picked up the nickname of "The Fool of Owari" due to his bizarre behavior. He later married Nohime, but their relationship was not very good. Their marriage came about as a political marriage between hostile neighboring regions. Oda Nobunaga accepted Nohime as his wife with an arrogant, authoritative attitude. Meanwhile, Nohime has an unabashed attitude and easily clashes with her husband. They are like oil and water.

One day, Oda Nobunaga’s enemy Imagawa Yoshimoto attacks Owari with his vast army.

Oda Nobunaga is devastated by the overwhelming gap in military strength, but Nohime encourages Oda Nobunaga to not despair and fight against his rival. Oda Nobunaga and Nohime draw up a tactical plan to take on the much larger army. They soon make plans to unify the entire country, which has never been successfully done.

Both historical romance dramas by the same writer. But Faith involves time-travel.

During the Joseon Dynasty, a young woman named Hong Chun Ki is a painter – a true rarity in Joseon Korea, where Confucian values dictate that such pursuits are unsuitable for a woman. She was born blind but somehow managed to acquire a sense of vision. And now she has been accepted to the most prestigious art college in the land. One day, she meets Ha Ram, an astrologer whose fate is the polar opposite of her own: Although he was born sighted, he lost his vision in a childhood accident. Regardless, he is also in possession of an astounding talent that allows him to read the future by tracing the movement of the sky at night despite the fact that he is blind. The duo is sucked into the machinations of the royal court, particularly those involving two princes, the free-spirited Prince Yang Myung and the cruel, scheming Prince Joo Hyang – a man who longs to become the next Joseon king.

Surprising ML/FL's choice is not who you initially think it will be. Atypical ML (personality more like SL or even villain in the case of LBTI).

Historical setting with love triangle.

FL leaves with ML who is outcast/wanted criminal at ending, after final conversion with other male character.

Both are historical with characters growing up throughout their respective series. Lots of twists and turns, and characters that subvert expectations. Both include a romance in which the female lead makes the unexpected choice for who she ends up with. I would highly recommend both series!
