In both dramas, the main female lead (FL) is a spirited woman allowed a lot of freedom who falls in love with a prince in disguise.
In both, when the FL realizes the horror of what she's getting into, she tries to back out, compromise, run away from her fate. In both, these attempts are rational, understandable and deeply empathetic. In both, the FL has much more to lose than the prince.
On the other hand, Good Bye, My Princess is darker and more sure of its themes than The Red Sleeve, and it centers the main FL's troubles and sacrifices all the way until the end.

A bad boy who suffers the consequences, and ruins the lives all around him.
Good Bye, My Princess features the main male lead as he walks the path into hell. Here, accurately portrayed, as the darkness eats him alive he treats the main female lead worse and worse. Obsessively trapping her and refusing to let her go, even though being with him is crushing her soul.
If you are going to portray toxic romance and dark storylines, this is how to do it.

Peng Xiao Ran is the main actress in both
There’s a lot of angst and tragedy in both
But more importantly, both series are somehow similar and yet different : in both, the female lead falls for the king/prince of an enemy country who ruins her tribe and she ends going to live in the enemy country. In both, even though the prince/king loves her, she can’t forget how he ruined her kins and country. Also in both tv series, the male lead (king/prince) also causes the ruin and death of the princess
What makes it interesting is that in both series, Peng Xiao Fan’s character lives in VERY similar settings (the tribes of both female leads are almost the same ; there’s also a killing-wolf scene in both series so I couldn’t help but think that SJFY’s writer willingly did plenty of winks to GMP) and in both series, there’s a princess who gets ruined by the male lead and has a devoted female friend who’s her lady companion but she plays a different character : in GMP, she plays the naive, innocent and pitiful princess who gets ruined by the male lead but in SJFY, she plays the devoted, smart and badass best friend who devotes everything to the princess and then gets her revenge on the male lead. So watching SJFY is like watching her character in GMP getting her revenge on the evil male lead and becoming badass !

Both are historical dramas with independent FL who grew up with a loving family and then witness their family brutally murdered. Both MLs start seemingly silly and then do evil things, and are obsessed with the FL. Neither couple ends up together, but GMP has a tragic ending, FFL has a good ending for the FL.
