- They're both fantasy-adventure dramas, with a setting more similar to a Western high fantasy than an Eastern fantasy drama.
- In both the lore is revealed slowly through their characters interactions & journeys, instead of bombarding the viewers with information from the start.
- They both have a empire/kingdom dynasty whose whole foundation is based on them being "divine".
- They both focus more on a parent-child or mentor-kind of relationship, instead of romantic ones.
- They're both very light on romance, though the Blessed Girl does at least imply a development on that department at the end.
- They both have vivid colours & great cinematography (though the Blessed Girl is probably better in that department, as it's a more recent & more expensive production).
- They both have a protagonist who used to be a sheltered person that somehow developed powers & goes out into the world to deal with it.

*Both have strong female characters that fight for their life & beliefs, and not just be passive-reactive to what happens to them: they Make things happen!
*Both have an adorable couple with great chemistry.
*Both feature military strategies & war.
*Both productions have a similar feel/atmosphere to them -though Singing All Along is a bit more epic & has better cgi.
*Both are Chinese historical dramas based on real historical characters (at least the general in Sound of the Desert is a real character) and events, with very limited fantasy elements.
