I would say rather than similar, they contrast quite a lot. While Moon Lovers has a darker and more complicated plot, Love in the Moonlight is just what you would like to watch after crying because of Episode 20 of Moon Lovers. It will make you smile because of the cute love story, though of course, you will also cry.

The girl in this drama also teleport to the ancient times (xianxia). It's a little bit slow burn since the ml didn't realize that he was in love with the fl at first.

Both are about a modern day FL who travels into the past and finds herself in involved with the ML who is an anti-hero character. Both FLs are in the body and have the identity of another girl.

travel back in time to meet her destiny to be? yes! scarlet heart would be on rec. list because of that

Both have "reverse harem" genre with handsome male leads ................................................................................................................................................................

This South Korean story is fascinating and takes place between two dimensions. The heroine leaves her world, between life and death, to live an eternal love story. Not all obstacles and bitterness will prevent the love of the protagonist couple.

Bth are fantastic drama and touching ,gives similar vibes at some parts , really well done and worth to watch .

Gyun Woo is a college student, more interested in picking up girls, drinking with his buddies and avoiding his nagging mother whenever possible. While riding the subway, a drunken girl then changes his fate forever. She's nearly unconscious on the train and vomits on an older guy. She then leans over to Gyun Woo and everybody assumes she is his girlfriend! Gyun Woo soon finds himself in a relationship he didn't ask for, but soon unable to forget this sassy girl.

Maybe am still stuck with Moon Lovers, but you can see how both revolves around history and present with reincarnation of the main characters. If you love destined romance which repeats itself despite the passing time, then you definitely will love this.

Both main lead woke up in historical period. Living uneasily in the old fashion way at the beginning and starting to fall in love with people

Very different plot but better story. Way more complicated in all kinds of ways, longer, sadder, worst?
Same actor: Lee Joon gi~ but acting all the other way different. Em, dark prince? Probably suits him more.

f4 (+ previous versions) and moon lovers are my favorite dramas by far. moon lovers is truly a masterpiece, and actually very similar to f4 in my opinion:
- FL is courageous, strong, kind, funny, and stands up to the ML. she really is the ML's ray of light.
- ML is kind of an anti-hero. his mom is VERY similar to thyme's mom, and grew up in a very cold/abusive environment. this causes him to be violent, impulsive, and everyone is scared of him. when he meets the FL his world becomes bright, and he falls heads over heals first. like in f4, the FL is in love with someone else first. the ML kind of bullies/teases the FL before professing his love (that scene still gives me chills)
- ML is persistent, says he'll never let her go, etc.
- there is a reverse-harem-- a bunch of good looking guys who are praised (bc they're the sons of the king)
- overall, the plot is so interesting! the FL travels back to the Goryeo era in ancient Korea. it made me cry so many times, and is by far my favorite drama other than f4/BOF <3.
