Both have a very mature storyline centering a grown woman who is having a hard time finding herself. They feature growth and both have their own shining points.
You'll definitely enjoy "The world of the Married"! Han So Hee plays in it aswell and let me tell you... she's such a good actress that you'll truly dislike her character in this drama! Just Wow, the acting is a 11/10 and the story already starts to go crazy from the first episode! This is definitely a must watch. :)
A love story affair with a bit different storyline & plot with mature sexual content but both is worth watching drama. If you like mature love affairs story I definitely recommend this drama.

=> Both works are about King Jeongjo
=> Han Ji Min is in both but her character in Fatal Encounter is not as nice as her character in Yi San.

Similar to the other recommending these two dramas to each other, I'm also gonna mention how the two works are connected by the fact that the students in Sungkyunkwan Scandal are helping in clearing Cown Prince Sado's name. This is because Crown Prince Sado's son Yi San/Jeongjo is the king in Sungkyunkwan Scandal.
Another interesting connection is how Yoo Ah In is in both works. For The Throne fans, they'll see Yoo Ah In's breakthrough project. For Sungkyunkwan fans' they'll see the Yoo Ah In sageuk movie that brought him awards as well as the first among his movies to be submitted by Korea for the Oscars.

=> Both are high profile sageuk projects starring Yoo Ah In
=> Both were shown in 2015 (Six Flying Dragons ended in 2016)
=> Yoo Ah in won many awards for his portrayal in both sageuk projects
=> Yoo Ah In's role has a similarity in both dramas, he's someone who doesn't obey his father's wishes.
=> Because of the success of these two projects (along with Yoo Ah In's 2015 movie Veteran), 2015 was called "A-in-shi-dae" (Ah In era).

I recommend Dong Yi for The Throne fans since it gives character to the mother of King Yeongjo, the woman who was only mentioned as a lowly concubine in The Throne. Dong Yi is the love story of Yeong Jo's parents as well as the political happenings during Yeongjo's father King Sukjong's era. Dong Yi also shows the rivalry between concubines including Dong Yi (Yeong Jo's mother) and Jang Ok Jung (mother of Yeong Jo's brother, who was the king before him as mentioned in the drama). Through watching Dong Yi, the audience will understand why some people in The Throne think King Yeong Jo killed his brother for the throne as well as how Dowager Queen Inwon was Queen Dowager despite her not being King Yeong Jo's mom.
For Dong Yi fans, The Throne movie shows one tragic aspect in the long reign of Dong Yi's son Yeoning aka Yeong Jo: the events that lead Yeong Jo to put his son Sado in a box which led to his son's death.

In both Jang Ok Jung and The Throne, we see Yoo Ah In playing a Joseon Royal. King Sukjong (Yoo Ah In's character in Jang Ok Jung) is also one of the main characters in Jang Ok Jung. This means that Jang Ok Jung is a show that might be enjoyed by The Throne fans since it has both Yoo Ah In plus the audience get to know more about King Sukjong (who is only barely mentioned in The Throne). One must keep in mind that Jang Ok Jung has a little twist in that it tends to be more sympathethis towards Sukjong's concubine Jang Ok Jung, who is more historically known as the more villainous concubine. Jang Ok Jung is the mother of the brother of Prince Sado's father, King Yeongjo.
As The Red Sleeve doesn't show much of how a King's grandson was the Crown prince instead of his father, a fan of The Red Sleeve can watch The Throne to understand more of the situation.
For the Throne fans, they can watch Red Sleeve if they want to know the story of Sado's son. Red Sleeve is the show they should watch if they want more focus on Sado's son's romance. There is also some politics in Red Sleeve, but the love story has a bit more focus (especially the last 2 episodes).
In contrast, the 2007 drama Yisan tends to have more focus on the accomplishments of Yi San as Crown Prince then King (though romance is also important in this show).

Yi San is a 2007 drama about Sado's son. It covers about the same time period as the more recent Red Sleeve 2021 drama except that it has greater focus on politics. If you want to watch a drama which shows more focus on Sado's son's politics as a prince then as a king, Yi San 2007 drama is the show for you. Yi San 2007 also shows more on how Sado's son was acting as his father was dying in the beginning episodes.
For Yi San fans, you can watch in The Throne another portrayal of how Yi San's father died.
