Historical setting. Supporting male character is murdered. The main couple's relationship and devotion to each other reminded me of the other couple in that the man has become a hardened warrior who no longer cares if he lives or dies and the woman gives him a will to live and change. Both are heartbreaking, beautiful dramas with slightly bittersweet but overall happy endings.
- In both dramas, it's the story of children who will try to avenge their father who was killed to access the throne.
- In both dramas, the two protagonists knew each other before the drama and they had a Good relationship.
- In the korean drama it's the ML who want avenge his father from the FL's father who is now the king.
- And in the chinese drama it's the FL who want to avenge her father from her uncle who is now also the king
- In both drama, there is a very good alchemy between the ML and the FL.

ML starts out gentle and kind, then his family is stolen from him, he is presumed dead, and his personality shifts into revenge and hatred for those responsible. He returns and reunites with FL who helps him heal/reunite with what's left of his family. The tones are similar and both have happy endings despite being darker stories.
Both dramas feature Moon Chae Won in hanbok (where she looks extra pretty). Even though her role in Painter is only minor, it's still worth watching because it's her breakthrough role and her role in it is so unique. She has chemistry in her partners in both dramas that led her to win best couples with her respective partners. Both dramas are really great in general (in fact both were nominated for Baeksang). As of February 2, 2021, these are also the only two dramas that got MCW to be nominated at Baeksang Awards.
=> Both are historical Kdramas partly inspired by Western love stories. If My Dearest is partly inspired by Gone with the Wind, (as described in wikipedia), The Princess' Man is partly inspired by Romeo and Juliet.
=> Earlier episodes contain fun and lighthearted scenes before political events changed everything
=> Female lead rides a swing in both kdramas, both scenes contributed to male lead falling in love with her
=> There are scenes in both dramas of couples trying to run away.
PS: For The Princess's Man fans, the show being recommended is Part 2 of My Dearest, you should check part 1 first for the beginnings of the story.
