Have many similarities.
Both of them about siblings who suffered in childhood because of one devil villain who destroyed their family. Then, they grow up and have revenge towards the villain.
Both of them also have background of 1980s-1990s

Aside from family revenge things, they have other different themes.
East of eden involve switching brothers at birth and their consequences in their future life

Subtle biblical references, relationships between brothers, extreme situations that make characters go through emotional crisis and very tearful melodrama, all the ingredients are found in both dramas.
Recommended by Kimigami
It's very similar, involving hospitals, brotherly feuds, and the deep sense of revenge.
Recommended by 20thcenturytennis
both dramas have a mix up at the hospital where the babies were born and both have the same male lead
Recommended by kimchifans
Both dramas are about revenge and have complex story line. GT is more about politics and EoE is more about gangsters.

poor and rich type of drama. crying scenes are gold. EoE is a really long series but BK is only 30. I love tak gu so much but cant find another drama thats similar. But EoE is near the same but different storyline (no cooking involved) but if you love a good ol OST, this one has some good ones in my opinion.

Brotherly sacrifice. It's my fave korean drama. It's about 2 brothers. And tells a story of how the big Bro sacrifices his life for his family.. A story of love, family ... just amazing
Recommended by Sara
> both are dramas centered around revenge
> rich/poor issues between two families
> "forbidden" kind of relationships/love
> serious, more mature romance scenes, not just wall-kissing
> a lot of secrets waiting to be discovered
> tragic scenes
> both have YJH as co-leading actor

One difference is that EoE relies a lot on action/business while Mask is more drama/romance oriented.

Similarities:
- Brotherly love (big brother does anything for his little brother)
- Death of parent will totally change the course of the brothers' lives
Differences:
- The story line is very different.. In Breathless, the big brother is very disciplined and is a role model to everyone around him
Recommended by Sara Kavari
Both very melodramatic dealing with identity as heavy themes and involve a lot of revenge of good characters vs evil characters.
Recommended by RandomUsagi
Em ambos os dramas há rivalidade entre o filho legítimo e o abandonado, com sofrimento da mãe. Ambos, os filhos amam a mesma mulher e lutam com suas armas para conquista-la. Em ambos existe uma série de maus entendidos até que se resolva o conflito.
