Arang and the Magistrate (2012)

Both are fantasy romance dramas in which a human falls in love with a supernatural character (played by Shin Min Ah in both dramas).

Both combine joseon with supernatural elements, so sometimes they have the same feel. Both are romantic comedies with tragedy involved.

Both are fantasy-historical drama with mitical creatures. And both are love stories where important role plays destiny and cureses.

They both have to do with ghost and reapers.

Both have lead seeing ghost elements. Both have great chemistry between the leads.

joon gi is the main lead in both dramas and both of them have a fantasy and supernatural vibe to them

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 stories based on the ghosts and dark magic. If you love stories of ghosts and dark magic you'll love them both. :) :)

Both dramas are historical dramas with fantastical elements that stars Lee Joon Gi as the lead male actor. In Scholar, Lee Joon Gi is the more mystical character while in Arang, the love interest is the more mystical character. Actor Han Jung Soo appears as a “hunter of sorts” in both dramas.
Qualitywise, I find Arang and the Magistrate so much better, people should try Arang even if they find Scholar boring.

they are both amazing dramas. Gu Family Book and Arang and the Magistrate are both historical and romantic dramas with fantasy

These two are both fantasy historical korean dramas. Both have sweet love story between leads. Lead actors are very talented and have amazing chemistry.

they are both fantasies about an arrogant man who meets a woman teaches him how to LOVE " under some supernatural events ^_^ "

Both main role can see ghost and the main role himself has his own history to stay alive

Both dramas has a main character who can see ghosts but pretends he doesn't. Both dramas takes place during Joseon dynasty as well. Both dramas gave similar feel to me to the point I one night had a dream where I mixed up both of the dramas and woke up thinking "what drama was that? I need to watch it" :D

of their mythology! Both dramas have incorporated the heavenly (and hell) beings to their story. Though they don't exact;y have the same conflict going on, both dramas have a matter-of-life-and-death conflict to deal with.

And though I like Goblin, Arang is still the number one on my list when it comes to a resolution for a love that transcends death.
