In reality, King Taejong (formerly Lee Bang-won) was never in love with the Queen. It was just a political marriage…
I watched both, and don’t think they should be compared. Because one is told in a different way for the same thing.
I think they are both great in their own right, SFD doesn’t give us much of adult Lee Bang Won, especially as a king, which king of tears does. So, for that alone, the two shouldn’t be compared.
There’s a lot involved in both countries and industries to just reduce them into comparison with both historical and modern dramas.
I think they both good in their different ways, style, skill and rights.
Also, comparison takes away the ability and beauty to enjoy the art, difference, storytelling etc, and receive them as they are.
