The Flower in Prison (2016)

Based on same king Jungjong and his time period . This drama show us the timeline of same king. This drama shows the same period after the king Jungjong takes his reign and that society . So it is pretty much similar if anybody interested in that king and his lifetime.

both have a strong male and female lead who fight for justice.
ok nyeo didn't know she's a princess until she discover the truth while wei young hide the truth that she's a princess..
this dramas are the kind of when you start watching you cant stop but to continue till the end

Though her characters are very different in the two series, this excellent (if sometimes slow) show was Jin Se Yeon's last sageuk role, for which she earned and received much praise.

Both plots is around headstrong, intelligent and strong female leads that go from them being the underdogs to gaining power.
i liked that in both shows the main character knew how to stick up for themselves and actually had more than one fight scene (where they didn't need the main guy to save them all the time).
Empress ki definitely had a better and well developed romance arc.

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!

• Strong Female Lead during the Joseon Dynasty
• Both share a slight romance with the ML
• Both dramas are longer in length (50+ eps), historical fiction

Takes place in Joseon and shows non-expected viewpoints, one of a prison warden, the other of a long lost Princess. Both engage in a series of event that try to over turn the political corruption and help the people of Joseon.
