Both are historical dramas in which the young king falls in love with a noble girl he meets in childhood, but tragedy causes her to end up losing her family and living a commoner life, while he never forgets her and continues to search for her, finally finding her as an adult. Both dramas feature memory loss (ML vs. FL), an assassination attempt on the king in which he is initially believed dead, and scheming within the palace.
It's the same story being retold over and over again and yet we're still interested.
Although both focus on the classic trope of star-crossed love, they explore it in slightly different perspectives. Iljimae is a journey of developing one's identity whereas 100 Days My Prince is about finding the identity and happiness that have been lost.
Ultimately, it is still the settings of the historical periods and grace of the plot that really draw the 2 dramas close.

The lone wolves that cry out in silence. Both shows that being a prince has got to be the loneliest position in the world with them being back and forth stabbed. Until the female lead comes along to brighten up their days of misery.
However, rather just damsel-in-distress tales where all things seem to turn right, the characters actually have to overcome plenty of hardships and all events happen for a good reason too.
