The deep understanding of people's minds and life choices in a family setting. Father-son relationship, uncle-nephew relationship, husband-wife relationship, teacher-student relationship, and a deep connection with soulmate. It is written in a very subtle way that requires thorough thinking and the feeling of this drama will linger around the watcher for years in the same way as Lost You Forever does.

6) Both are tragic

~Both are palace dramas.
~Both the male leads aren't favoured by the emperors, yi san is his grandfather while royal nirvana is his father though they give them chance sometimes.
~People are always against them because of the throne.
~Both male leads have loyal subjects that want to protect them.
~Heavy politics in both dramas
The difference is Yi san is a korean drama and Royal nirvana is chinnese.

Both dramas are starring Luo Jin and Huang Zhizhong and the plot mainly revolves around their relationship.
In Royal Nirvana Huang Zhizhong plays the Emperor and Luo Jin plays the Crown Prince.
In the Long River their roles are reversed: Luo Jin takes on a role of a real emperor of Qing Dynasty - Kangxi, while Huang Zhizhong plays a righteous governor.
It's quite funny to see the same actors in very different roles, the both dramas highlight their acting range.
The plot is very different, RN is extremely depressing but the LR also has its share of sad moments.
History buffs will enjoy the attention to details in the Long River.
