During the Joseon Dynasty, a young woman named Hong Chun Ki is a painter – a true rarity in Joseon Korea, where Confucian values dictate that such pursuits are unsuitable for a woman. She was born blind but somehow managed to acquire a sense of vision. And now she has been accepted to the most prestigious art college in the land. One day, she meets Ha Ram, an astrologer whose fate is the polar opposite of her own: Although he was born sighted, he lost his vision in a childhood accident. Regardless, he is also in possession of an astounding talent that allows him to read the future by tracing the movement of the sky at night despite the fact that he is blind. The duo is sucked into the machinations of the royal court, particularly those involving two princes, the free-spirited Prince Yang Myung and the cruel, scheming Prince Joo Hyang – a man who longs to become the next Joseon king.

I don't know how to explain it right, but both of these fantasy dramas gave me a certain vibe that makes me believe that if you liked one of them, you would like the other as well.
Now, if you haven't seen any of these dramas and you don't know where to begin I could just simply say (without spoilers) that "the gu family book" has more "clear" romantic moments.

Both are supernatural dramas with vampire/vampire-like creatures. The protagonist in both dramas transforms into a monster after a traumatic experience. They both also refuse to turn completely into a monster and stay partly human.

The same atmosphere
Dark
Characters with monstrous strength
Violence and gore but it's more extreme in Bulgasal than L.U.C.A
