Both have time travelling element. Scarlet heart is one of the excellent historical C-drama. Perfection from all cast, writer.

Both excellent historical drama. I think Nirvana might be even better. It is more political intrigue but made very interesting. I love the strong female characters in Nirvana.

Both have unforgettable characters and amazing plot. Soulful and riveting. I cried after both. After finishing Song of the Cloud, I was so emotionally affected by one character that I was heartsick for two weeks.

Splash Splash Love is like the short version of Scarlet Heart (minus the gender-bendering), a condensed version of Scarlet Heart minus all the agony and politics. SSL is also more light-hearted, less serious and focuses more on the romance compare to Scarlet Heart. If you want to see some cute and comical time traveling, SSL is for you. If you want to see some politics, more character developments, as well as more interactions with side characters, you can watch Scarlet Heart but bring some tissues with you! Both modern female leads time travels to the past with some knowledge of history but SSL involves Korean History whereas Scarlet Heart involves Chinese History.

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.

Both of the female leads travel back in time to the Qing Dynasty. There, the female leads capture the attention of the princes and get entangled with them.

Both are quite gloomy Chinese stories about the Fl's fate, her taking part in the palace power struggle and her foresight
Recommended by An S
They have a similar time traveling theme since in both of them, a girl goes to the past. Both of them also have gorgeous costumes/clothes, especially the female characters. Although, Startling By Each Step is a bit more serious and, in my opinion, has better acting.
