It's definitely of the same vibes as both are of the historical fantasy genre with spells and magic involved—the likes of witchcraft, talismans, shamans, curses, and black magic in general. Both also showcases the complications from births with sorcery involved, and living in seclusion under a different identity.
These two are both fantasy historical korean dramas. Both have sweet love story between leads. Lead actors are very talented and have amazing chemistry.

Honestly think that Xiao Zhan is one of the top chinese actors. Likewise i think that Lee Jaewook is one of Korea's top actors.
I think it's worth to check out if you enjoyed Alchemy of Souls!

If you like the aspect of a strong independent female lead who works hard and had multiple men protect/love them, these two dramas got it.
Although they are different genres and taken place at different time periods, they both have a lot of similarities. The main male lead is very stubborn and at times rude. The other 3 male characters that follows around the female lead loves her for different reasons (there is the childish cute boy, mature and cool guy, and guy friend personalities). The support characters for both have an amazing story of their own. Both very funny. A few love triangles.
