Both series have partly same historical characters. But the biopic Jeong Do Jeon is not so explosive.

Both dramas are centered around the same premise and history and same 50 episodes. If you are more into something more mature, historical accurate and grounded check out Jeong Do Jeon.
For those into more to action, adventure, romance check out six flying dragons. Or do both, they are all very well made dramas.

Although the plot of these two dramas takes place at different times and even in different countries, however, I believe that Jeong Do Jeon and Gunshi Kanbei are very close in spirit. In both dramas, we see the rise of great strategists who overcome physical and moral challenges to become legendary people from historical books.

Both Kanbei and Jeong Do Jeon were advisers to future rulers. Thanks to their efforts, such great powers as Tokugawa Shogunate and Joseon were founded. Throughout the story, Kanbei and Jeong Do Jeon, influenced by the injustice of the world they live in, form their own philosophical beliefs.

Jeong do jeon is direct prequel to The great king, Sejong. And The great king, Sejong is direct sequel to Jeong do jeon. Highly recommended to watch Jeong do jeon first then the great king, sejong.
