This drama is a Historical drama and it's also starring Lee Joon-gi as the 4th Prince Wang So.

(SPOILER ALERT)



In every lifetime, they pulled a Hae Soo - Wang So card. Book-wise, they followed most of it, if not all, BYT THEY DIDN'T INCLUDE THE SPECIAL CHAPS. It's also similar with SHR in a sense that it it gut-wrenchingly open-ended. As someone who is a sucker for tragic endings, this is my cup of tea although it made me cuss multiple time upon first time viewing it. AND IT WAS DURING EXAM SZN!!! That's all I hope you have fun watching these two! mwah!

Do?rusu moon lovers kadar derin duygusala ba?layacaklar?n? sanmam ama kesinlikle benzer vaka var. Farkl? zamanlara ait olan ver oraya gitmeli olan iki insan. Di?er farkl? zamanlara ait dizilerde seven taraflar?n gerdönü? yolu bir?ekilde olur. Mesela ruhlar? bedenlerinden ç?kar ve ya gölge ruh olur ya da uykuda olurlar. Ama bu dizide moon lovers dizisinde oldu?u gibi en sonda kendi zaman?na dönmeli olacak karakter var. E?er yönetmen gerçekli?e dayal? ve daha duygusal tarafl? yakla??rsa kesinlikle sonunu moon lovers dizisinde oldu?u gibi yapabilir. ?lk bölümleri daha e?lenceli falan ama ileride duygusala ba?lana bilir. Erkek karakter daha toy duygusal anlar? nas?l mükemmel yapacak bilemiyorum ama kad?n oyuncu efsane dram oynuyor kesinlikle kurtara bilir sahnelerde. Sonunu çok iyi olarak bekliyorum umar?m bat?rmazlar

The bad boy image of the 4th prince in Moon Livers is similar to Qinyue. Both characters are dark and are competing against the “white knight” to win the heart of the girl.

Both take place in Goryeo and have a love story. Hong Jong Hyun plays a main charater in both. In SHR, he plays an evil brother plotting to take the throne. TKL, he plays Crown Prince's best friend. The locations in both shows are extremely beautiful. Lee Joon Gi and Siwan's characters fall in love with the female leads who care for them. Lee Ji Eun (IU) and Yoona's characters go through many hardships.

Almost the same storyline. Time travel, princes..etc but moon lovers seems to have a open ending. This one is more happy ending comparing to moon lovers but moon lover got better ost.

Modern person somehow went back into historical time. One have to adapt to the old time life style. All the plot, hate, jealousy, turbulence. Great acting, great production and great cinematography.
Recommended by Chia6
Similar love story, deep, intense, devoted emotions, painful life stories, plots at the palace, always someone for their lives, tragic end. Moves you until you cry a river. Extraordinary performance of the actors.

Autumn Tale isn't a period drama, but there are similarities:

Both are beautiful, heartbreaking love stories. I cried the most watching these two love triangles (or other rectangular). Both are tragedies.


Recommended by Nagy Hanna
Story wise they're not very similar, but they are both historical dramas.
Battle of Changsha shows more historical elements, while Scarlet heart is more emotional.
They're both dramas that will take you on a ride of emotions.
Although in scarlet heart there is no War; it shows the mistreatment the fourth prince faced and how he climbed his way to the throne

Scarlet heart and Bloody heart is both historical drama that is also a romance drama. Both main lead becomes the king.

The main actress is also in Scarlet heart too!
