My Country: The New Age (2019)

Both are historical dramas and the story revolves around political intrigues. The friendship between the male protagonists is really strong and both are in love with the same girl.

Both are historical dramas with backstabbing and political intrigue. The bromance in both dramas are strong and overshadow the romance. However, the romance in Hwarang is more prominent compared to My Country, so if you're looking for a romantic historical drama, this might not be the fit for you. Nonetheless, both are amazing dramas, and I would recommend My Country.

If you like Bromance based drama ,, This one is exactly what you're looking for ,, it has every element of spectacular relationships and amazing historic element also best casting

They both are bromance.
They both were great frienship but even though they were in diffrent sides they still cared for each other.
They both were friends and then rivals.

It seems both dramas represent same period in history. Also, never ending throne war is a common point. My Country gives me same vibes as Scarlet Heart Ryeo.

Bromance, Political Struggle, Romance. These two shows have unforgettable bonds, action packed plots, and amazing choreography.

Both are set on developing South Korea and stepping into a new era

The trio meeting scene had the same vibe. 2 friends falling for one girl, then running away together from hooligans and the betrayal of friendship
Now for me in my country sunho was right while hwi was wrong. But here it's obviously the other way around

Both shows:
> Focused heavy on the relationship of two brothers (one of them blood-related, the other sworn brothers). That relationship, however, becomes rocky as the brothers find themselves fighting on different sides; ending up meeting each other in battle.
> The Second Male Lead (one of the brothers) ends up struggling to find their place and, as a result, face plenty of identity crisis. Their painful journey is very heartwrenching, but the result is that they end up stealing the show with their amazing performances.
> Have an antagonistic parental figure.
> Female leads are good, but their impact and contribution to the show is minimal.
> Have a small side-plot of romance.
> Male Leads end up going to war and finding a click, becoming the leader of their group of misfits.
> Second Male Leads end up going to war and struggle not to be stabbed in the back. They end up losing hope, but attain one loyal man (their sidekick).
> Male Leads end up giving their loyalty to a man who's trying to change the nation.

My Country is heavy on the action and bromance and less on the politics, which I think Faith can be comparable to that plus their approach to this genre is so unique. The number of episodes in Faith may be a bit draggy, but overall it's really a solid drama.

Both dramas are about the rise of Lee Bang Won. He is main lead / main story in "King of Tears", while "My Country" has other main leads (2 young guys) but historical events are same and though as SML Lee Bang Won is one of most memorable, important and deep character.

Both shows have smart leads scheming to rule or control the country, or just survive. They are also both costume dramas with a lot of attention paid to the politics of life in the royal court. Everyone has a plan and the male lead is always inevitably pulled into the intrigue.

they could be from the same time period as if they happened at the same time and that make me wish WDH could guest role in RWMR ;)

Both Save Me and My Country the New Age have Woo Do Hwan in a complicated friendship that is shattered by betrayal. Of course in My Country the New Age it's the main plot, whereas in Save Me it's more tangential (and the schism is less deep).

My Country is a lot more of a tragedy, however, there were similar plot points such as a gisaeng house that is *more* than it appears (spies/assassins), a fight for the throne and I think that Nokdu and Hwi (main character in My Country) were very similar characters. Also Woo Do Hwan as Seon Ho (in My Country) is literally INCREDIBLE, so I would recommend this drama based on his performance alone anyway.
