Culture, palace, being “drafted” to work in place and make clothes. Mystery surrounding death of mother....smart female lead ....

These drama take place during the Tang dynasty and feature a female lead who is a master in embroidery and who enters the Royal Palace thanks to those skills.

Competent FL who embroiders
Fl favoured by empress/royal consort
FL liked by the king, though she likes his trusted aide( the outcome is different in both though)

-Cross dressing of FM
-love triangle between ML, FL and Second guy
-Powerful ML
-Investigating parents death
-FM lead is a doctor in both series but WToL does not focus on this point
-Happy Ending

These drama take place during the Tang dynasty and feature a female lead who is a master in embroidery.
In both cases, the female lead is investigating her mother's mysterious death.

The difference here is that while WaToL takes place inside the palace, TSaTB takes place outside of it, in the household of a noble family.

You must first watch the first season of WEAVING TALE OF LOVE before watching the second season so you can understand the story more.

Both great dramas, both dramas have leads with great chemistry between the leads, bothqare underrated on MDL lol.
