=> Both are set in the Qing invasion of Joseon
=> early parts of the story revolves around marriage but slowly turns to war and carnage
=> Both dramas depict how the Qing invasion really affected many people but young people who are at the stage of their lives to fall in love and get married have quite a focus.
=> There are important Qing characters.
=> Strong male and female characters (my fave actress Moon Chae Won got many awards for her depiction of the female lead in War of the Arrows => people should watch her sageuk works especially this, Princess Man, and Painter of the Wind).
PS: For War of the Arrows fans, the show being recommended is Part 2 of My Dearest, you should check part 1 first for the beginnings of the story.

Both are about a man using his smarts and shooting skills (bow & arrow in one and gun and martial arts in the other) to rescue a girl.
Both men are also seeking redemption in some way which makes the quest and need to rescue the girl a quest to preserve what little faith/hope in the world they cling to.
