1) Both dramas feature strong female protagonists who defy societal expectations and rise to positions of power.

*And she practices martial arts and good fighter and warrior as empress ki and love her country and people around her. With her hidden identity it is more interesting and similar.

This the drama other than queen seondeok that is more similar to empress ki in its quality story line and well written characters with best story line, whatever the case of costumes in chinese historical dramas this drama have better well written story lines than all the given chinese dramas here.

"Queen Woo" is an epic sageuk, with battles, power struggles, political factions and focused on the queen and her fight for power, just like "The King's Daughter, Soo Baek Hyang".

Both female leads are badass, strategic, and can fight
Both are excellent spies
Both female leads do not need men saving them,
rather they are the ones saving others.
Male leads are similar too in that they don't treat the females as delicate flowers. Instead, they train them to develop their potential, and treat them as equals.
Definitely recommend!

Both female leads are very smart and strategic
Both about princesses, however one is one seeking revenge while one does not know her true heritage

The story has resemblances in many aspects: the court, royal love, love, the king, helping others and fighting for justice, the strong kick ass female and male protagonists, the choices....both are brilliant!

Plots are similar, the heroine tries to find his twisted sibling. They must contend with the intrigues of his jealous relatives, but despite everything finds true love. Even though Glass Slippers end tragically.

Female Leads strong & smart- got such a compelling personality because of character development & bold actions.
Blood line sisters -family really close storyline in the beginning sometime in the middle of the drama they separate.
One smart & one deceiving (TFL is physically strong with her martial arts skills but gets envious of her sisters intelligence & character.)
Palace drama- both male leads have a superior position towards FLs

Both are of two strong, and loyal female leads who fight in the army, and help their nation rise out on top. Both also have the extremely complex sisterly relationship (Ruo Lan and Seolnan love their younger sisters to death, but Seolhi and Yu He want nothing to do with their older sisters-both of them are power hungry and ambitious). Both dramas tale the growth of 2 seemingly naive leads who eventually become leaders.

This drama follow the lives of two young sisters as they grow from children to adults. They each face many twists and turns before achieving true happiness.

Set in a similar time period. Starts with parental story then moves to children after a few eps. Involves sisters and royalty. Complicated romances mixed with family secrets and political intrigue. Length.

Similar female leads - both are initially unaware of their royal lineage and work as spys/soldiers. Pre-Joseon era. Complicated love stories and political intrigue. Sisters fighting.
