If the drama is as much based on the novel, the ending of the ml and fl of Scarlet Heart and Red Sleeves are same. Regardless of the time travel in SH:R, the story flow of political reasons coming in between lover and separation are same.

The shows give me similar vibes because of the somewhat taboo or forbidden love. Also, the pain and angst. The cp in OnO doesn't argue like in the Red Sleeve, but the apparent love but not admitting it at first is the same.

Yi San, later King Jeongjo (Lee Jun Ho) was the son of Crown Prince Sado and grandson of King Yeongjo .
So, if you want to know what happened between Crown Prince Sado (Yoo Ah-in) and King Yeongjo (Song Kang-ho) then this is the movie for you.

In both dramas the couple is very much in love. They also are both based on real stories. In both "The Red Sleeve" and "Queen for Seven Days" the couple has their ups and downs, disagreements, farewells. But they always love each other, despite the tragic circumstances.

Both are essentially about court ladies who try their hardest to protect the king and support his reign.

This drama could be considered an introduction to King Yeongjo of Joseon, grandfather of Yi San. This prelude can explain many of the turbulences that are depicted in The Red Sleeve, King Sukjong effected many changes that impacted Yi San's rule

Lee Se Young is the main Female Lead in both dramas
Somewhat similar vibes but are pretty different plot-wise.

Kinda similiar vibes, male lead is crown prince and kinda feels in bith thats its forbidden love. Both princes kinda have similiar personality so far. Also both have little comedy.

=> Both are retellings of the love story of King Jeongjo and his beloved concubine Royal Noble Consort Uibin Sung (her real name is Deok Im but she's called Song Yeon in Yi San).
=> The court lady is shown to have a special talent (painter in Yisan, storyteller and writer in Red Sleeve).
In my opinion, Yi San should be the top recommendation for Red Sleeve fans, come on people, they're both MBC dramas about the story of one of Joseon's best kings and his beloved concubine.

both dramas are about the love story of royalty and subject. in both female lead are tight-lipped and proud to convey their love, as well as the male lead, is when they take one step toward the female lead, the female lead takes two steps back that make male lead irritate and want them to beg for her love but female are more proud than the male lead. its pull and push relationship who surrenders first will admit its defeat.

Both dramas have the same vibe and rythm. Even though Red Sky has a more dynamic conflict, those dramas are still considered light and the romance vibe are kinda similar.

Set during the Joseon dynasty, Red Sleeve tells the story about the life of a court lady and the impact to the palace. There's some background of story that's based on the actual case.

Even though Red Sky is based on mythological background, it's still a light warming drama and is easy to swallow.

It tells the love story about a blind astrologer and a painter in the middle of chaos happened in the Kingdom caused be the devil spirit.

If you're into slow burn historical romance, Red Sleeve is definitely the perfect fit to watch along with Red Sky. As I watched these two, I felt that the vibe was connected perfectly.

=> Both are classic melodrama romance sageuks relased within two years of each other (early 2020s).
=> Both Male leads are madly in love with the female lead, male lead is very consistent with his feelings and desire to pursue and be with female lead
=> Female lead tries her best to resist her love and feelings for the male lead
=> Male leads have male friend who is the closest we can consider for the female lead's rival of male lead's affections. Of course both male leads only have feelings for our female lead. (In Red Sleeve though, this male friend is more like just a loyal friend with no romantic feelings, but some fans do think he has sort of feelings for the male lead).
PS: For Red Sleeve 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 historical, have romance, and have ALOT of heartbreak and tragedy. both have a ml who falls in love with the fl first. both are a rollercoaster of emotions overall.
