I found the two series relatively similar, the men are strong fighters, you cry your eyes out watching random scenes (either because you cringe for the bad acting or fangirl over touching that man's perfect body), as always the main girl is annoying, stubborn as a mule and won't take no for an answer. The perfect nosy woman that people like for no apparent reason.
The difference between the two of them is the fact that Suzy can't act and Jang Geun Suk is cutter than Lee Seung Gi.
Conclusion?! Just watch Hong Gil Dong it's actually much much better..

Both are historical Korean dramas with similar pacing and tone, with the first couple/few episodes focusing on the ML's parents before the ML grows up and becomes the focus of the story. Both MLs have superhuman strength and are feared/wanted to be killed by others. The FLs are the ML's second love, not first. Both featuring supporting characters who are courtesans and are heavily involving in the politics of the country. The villain remains largely in power/on top for the entire drama, only meeting his end in the final episode.
