Both are historical dramas and the story revolves around political intrigues. The friendship between the male protagonists is really strong and both are in love with the same girl.
Both are historical dramas with backstabbing and political intrigue. The bromance in both dramas are strong and overshadow the romance. However, the romance in Hwarang is more prominent compared to My Country, so if you're looking for a romantic historical drama, this might not be the fit for you. Nonetheless, both are amazing dramas, and I would recommend My Country.
If you like Bromance based drama ,, This one is exactly what you're looking for ,, it has every element of spectacular relationships and amazing historic element also best casting
They both are bromance.
They both were great frienship but even though they were in diffrent sides they still cared for each other.
They both were friends and then rivals.

It seems both dramas represent same period in history. Also, never ending throne war is a common point. My Country gives me same vibes as Scarlet Heart Ryeo.
Bromance, Political Struggle, Romance. These two shows have unforgettable bonds, action packed plots, and amazing choreography.
Both shows:
> Focused heavy on the relationship of two brothers (one of them blood-related, the other sworn brothers). That relationship, however, becomes rocky as the brothers find themselves fighting on different sides; ending up meeting each other in battle.
> The Second Male Lead (one of the brothers) ends up struggling to find their place and, as a result, face plenty of identity crisis. Their painful journey is very heartwrenching, but the result is that they end up stealing the show with their amazing performances.
> Have an antagonistic parental figure.
> Female leads are good, but their impact and contribution to the show is minimal.
> Have a small side-plot of romance.
> Male Leads end up going to war and finding a click, becoming the leader of their group of misfits.
> Second Male Leads end up going to war and struggle not to be stabbed in the back. They end up losing hope, but attain one loyal man (their sidekick).
> Male Leads end up giving their loyalty to a man who's trying to change the nation.

My Country is a lot more of a tragedy, however, there were similar plot points such as a gisaeng house that is *more* than it appears (spies/assassins), a fight for the throne and I think that Nokdu and Hwi (main character in My Country) were very similar characters. Also Woo Do Hwan as Seon Ho (in My Country) is literally INCREDIBLE, so I would recommend this drama based on his performance alone anyway.
