I enjoyed the time slip aspect of both dramas. Saimdang focuses more on that aspect by including more scenes in the present. Don’t let its rating fool you. I really enjoyed it. Both dramas feature a strong female lead fighting for what is right.

Love triangle is kind of similar.

Interesting story.

Good cast.

Playful FL and strong ML, who always protects the FL from the beginning and later falling in love with her.

Nestled deep in the heart of Seoul’s thriving downtown sits a curious hotel, the like of which no one has ever seen before. Old beyond measure, the building has stood for millennia, an ever-present testament to the fact that things are not always what they seem. Running this hotel is Jang Man Wol, a greedy, suspicious soul who has spent the past thousand years acting as the establishment’s CEO.

Bound to the hotel by a deity who keeps her there to save her from going berserk and self-destruction with rage, hatred and thirst for revenge. Her only hope of escape is if she can let go of her resentment and hatred and find love. Trapped in her resentment for a betrayal, Man Wol is doomed to spend all of eternity running this odd establishment, catering to the needs of the most peculiar clientele.

Things take an interesting turn when Goo Chan Sung shows up. Once the youngest assistant manager ever to work at a multinational hotel corporation, Chan Sung finds himself forced to manage the Hotel del Luna because of a deal his father made with Man Wol years ago. Excellent with managing money, he starts to put Jang's excessive spending and disastrous financial situation in order; that may be exactly what this odd establishment and its cursed CEO needs.

Similarities:
-Princes falling in love with a maid
-Rebellion
-inter competition between all the princes
-lover triangle
-The characters Wang Wook (Moon Lovers) and Yan Xun (Princess Agents) have a very similar goal, but end up hurting the one they love

Princess Agent has defiantly more danger and action pact.
-secret organizations

Moon Lovers: Scarlet Heart Ryeo focuses more on the romance and relationships between the Female main lead and the Princes.

Both are based on Chinese novels
Both are painful but you cannot help yourself but be enthralled by the plot, OST, acting, cinematography and the tragic love of the main leads.
They both have supernatural elements(one less than the other but still)
The supporting characters stories are really interesting and add to the main story

Though both sageuks have different target audiences in mind (they have differences as if you want some smart political talk you should watch Queen Seon Deok rather than Moon Lovers) they have sone similarities:
> lots of male fanservice (hwarangs in Queen Seon Deok, princes in Moon Lovers)
> the female leads love one man first then she turns to love a man with a darker past (plus both men wear black most of the time, I'm talking about Bidam and Wang So, Kim Nam Gil and Lee Joon Gi Yeah!)
>both the second men the female leads love have mothers that are obsesses with power plus those mothers abandoned those sons too
> both evil mothers have other sons they prefer over the son (the men loved by the female leads) they abandoned without realizing that their abandones sons are the smartest and their closest ticket to power

Tired of the men in her life being lying, married philanderers, Koharu moves away from the city and back home. Once there, she finds her family saddled with debt and no way out. That is until a handsome stranger offers to settle the debt if Koharu agrees to marry him. And if that wasn't crazy enough, he already has two wives!

Enredo trágico repleto de armações contra o casal principal, mentiras. Antagonistas cruéis. Cenas engraçadas, uma pitada de comédia.
