In both, the Princess is betrothed to a man she doesn't love. She falls into deep grieve when her lover is wrongly accused and banished.

Both are about a queen who is reborn (Renascence is more like body swap though). She attempts to get revenge on her husband and half sister for killing her loves ones. In her new life, she realizes her brother-in-law is her true love.

Exact same tropes:
- Prince do all sorts of unethical things to become crown prince
- Prince kills FL's whole family and lies to her
- Prince loves his throne more than FL
- FL commits suicide and life is reset
- Toxic second marriage, FL is constantly tormented and mistreated

Both dramas have a FL who elopes with her lover immediately after learning that she has an arranged marriage with the crown prince. Their forced separation breaks her heart and leaves her devastated on her wedding day. She eventually falls in love with her husband despite hating him at first.

It's not everyday that you'll find a drama where a princess in distress juggles between two very toxic, obnoxious men- and ends up with NEITHER!

I CANNOT believe that nobody noticed these two shows have the EXACT same tropes-

- Airhead FL chases after honor student childhood friend who seems very cold to her. But he's actually just bad at expressing his feelings due to abandonment issues.
- Second FL has advantage in spending alone time with ML just because she's also an honor student.
- Second ML makes ML very jealous, which eventually helped him realize his feelings.

In both, the main character time travels back and forth between past and present to find the murderer and prevent the death of one girl.

The plot in the beginning is almost the same. The male lead had passed away two years ago and his girlfriend is still stuck in pain and deep yearning. Desperate to find out more about him, she locates an address from his past but ends up discovering her doppelganger.

Both dramas depict a pampered princess who falls in love with her servant while going through arranged marriage. This forbidden love, however, does not last long and they are torn apart by family.
