Similarities:
=> Both are stories of a romance between a woman who is supposed to be a crown princess and a man destined to be king
=> A 12 year old Kim So Hyun gives a very excellent performance as the young version of the woman who usurps the crown princess position. (In a way she's actually the one who played the usurpers, not the adult actresses, because the takeover of the crown princess position from the real crown princess is done by her character in her teen years).
=> We see the male lead (or rather the young version of the male lead in Moon Sun) attracted to a girl with a butterfly in the first episode.
=> The male lead (him or his doppelganger in Rooftop Prince) has a close relative who can be a threat for high position he has (the king position in Moon Sun, being the heir of the company in Rooftop Prince)
=> Lee Tae Ri/Lee Min Ho actor born 1993 gave excellent performances in both dramas. Both his characters in a drama is a very smart young man who helps one of the main characters.

Moon Embracing the Sun fans, please watch The Princess Man. Both dramas came out around the same time period (late 2011-early 2012). Both are also about romance and love stories between not just one but at least 2 couples.
Both male protagonists have lost their Crown Princess at the beginning of the drama, there is no time travel, but it is an historical romance
This drama is just...WOW!! Way better ending than Rooftop Prince and the acting is even more fanstastic! Better OSTs and everything. Plus KIM SOO HYUN *(drools)*

They are both really good drama. You will learn how to forgive and love the people around you. I highly recommend it.
They both have a strong presence of supernatural stuff / dark magic intertwined into their story to enhance its grippling effect. If you were drawn in by the drama 49 days it'll most likely be the same with The Moon that Embraces the Sun and vice-versa.
Lee Heon is the king of Joseon. 7 years ago, when he was a crown prince, his beloved wife died. To this day, he has not been able to get over her death. For the past 7 years, the royal family and government members have tried to get King Lee Heon remarried without success. The nation has also implemented a geumhonryung edict, which is a ban on all single women marrying during this time when the king has not married. People are furious over the marriage ban. One day, King Lee Heon hears of a woman named Ye So Rang, who claims the spirit of the king's late wife exists within the royal palace.
Meanwhile, Ye So Rang is a swindler and claims to interpret marital harmony signs. She is arrested and jailed where Officer Lee Shin Won works. To get out of her predicament, she pretends to be possessed by a spirit in front of Lee Shin Won. During her ruse, she mentions that the spirit of King Lee Heon's late wife exists within the royal palace. She is then brought in front of the king and he asks her if she can really see his late wife's spirit. To survive, Ye So Rang acts like her body is possessed by the king's late wife. Ye So Rang's lies get bigger and more audacious.
