in both drama the female leads get together the emperor-to-be in their youth. they did everything in her power to solidify their position and to make them happy at the expense of their own. whether that comes out of love or survival instinct.
in both drama we follow the female leads as they go though many adversities amidst the complex and lethal inner and outer palace drama.
both drama are based on real people who had their real names either erased or overshadowed.

A powerful queen who helps the king in ruling the kingdom. They share a deep love for each other, but political jealousy creates a rift between them. From a childhood marriage to becoming king and queen, and eventually losing themselves in the complexities of politics and power struggle.

Both dramas include Lee Bang Won as one of the main characters. Thus, we know that the background story of both dramas is that they are both set in the early stages of Joseon Dynasty.
However, Six Flying Dragons has more focus on Lee Bang Won's rise to power while The Queen Who Crowns focuses more on the perspective of his Queen Minkyung and how she copes with being Queen (like dealing with her now unequal status with her husband to dealing with her jealousies to his concubines). There are also a lot of fictional characters added in Six Flying Dragons that are not present in real life nor in The Queen Who Crowns. plus Six Flying Dragons has a lot of martial arts scenes as well.

They are similar in the aspects where the queen and king battle for power. Bloody Heart has a smart and powerful queen just like the queen who crowns

If u enjoy this and u like Concubine Queen dramas this is the drama for you. Yanxi palace is about a maid who rises to the position of a Queen she competes with a fearsome harem over the Kings Affections the main character is a strong independent badasss she is too clever not ur average female lead. The similarities in these dramas is about the harem the politics and otherwise are very much different
