I enjoyed the time slip aspect of both dramas. Saimdang focuses more on that aspect by including more scenes in the present. Don’t let its rating fool you. I really enjoyed it. Both dramas feature a strong female lead fighting for what is right.

They are both slow burn romance dramas. Both dramas keep you on edge waiting to see what is going to happen next. The characters are relatable and intelligent. They are both modern stories and don’t follow a typical formula.

Contains many of the same tropes, but goes more in-depth. Explains different levels of energy and how to train for and obtain them.

Both dramas are tear jerkers. They are quality productions with good casts, but all is not bright and cheery.
