Kinda similar concept,it's just that lost romance is of modern times and this one is of historical.
-same plot
-same female lead of the novel exchange
-the guy was supposed to fall in love with different girl.

Both have similar vibes and intros, both MLs are seemingly unpredictable and calculating with a hidden plan. Both FLs pose as someone close to them (fiancée vs. sister) to enter the family household. Both couples start off antagonistic, and have a lot of chemistry from the beginning.

* Both are vertical dramas.
* One is a remake of the other.
* Not only do they look good as a couple, but they also have great chemistry.
* The leads are charming.
* I'm sure you will enjoy both dramas.

while JOL is not yet revealed as game, there are many similarities between the two productions: there is a lady who comes from somewhere (like Fan Xian's mom) and acts like Uncle Wu. The ML does not have the memories of his life but like FX he too is charged with running a country and is aided by characters that know more about the current situation than the king himself. Although ML in Joy of Life does not have multiple lives like the ML here, but they are equally given a chance to correct their mistakes.
And on top of it there is comedy!

stuck in the game for one reason or another - but what is this game and who runs it? Will NPCs join the forces? Will the real people achieve the goal of getting out of there?

If you're a sucker for strong chemistry between the leads, then this one has got it too! Another similarity is the devotion, borderline obsession, of the male lead to the female lead - there is only one woman in their heart and one woman only! But the romantic journeys are very different, which keep things interesting. Both series are high in angst and will send you on a roller coaster of emotions. Last but not least, the acting by the ML and FL in both are top notch! Making the audience feel the emotions right along with them.

They are a little bloody and have some mysterious drama to it. They both have psycho and an interesting story

The girl return back to her county after the breaking up, the same at both dramas. The cinema photography also really similar.

They are the same vibe.
They both have love triangle and they both contain college life.
They are a little cringe but also comedy in their ways

both drama are historical and in both drama, the fl is going through a lot of adversity and difficulties but stays resilient throughout and the ml is deeply in love and is able to do anything and everything for his love no matter how it impacts his life.

- Arranged marriage.
- ML seems cold and mean at first but is actually very kind and gentle towards his woman.
- Healthy mains relationship.
- Both leads are soft and gentle with each other.
Both deal with two very different people finding a balance with one another.
Both are love stories which started off as an arranged marriage , and viewers get to see the love story between the lead characters develop over the drama/movie.

- Though these two historical dramas are about two countries (Korea and China?!), their period setting is quite in the same term (late 19th and early 20th century - colonisation war, nationalist movements, you know there are a lot of huge events happening here).
- Similar main themes of revolution, war, human fates under the wheel of history.
- Their aesthetics are quite alike too (yellowish nostalgic colour tone, big epic scenes, etc.)
- Fun fact: both have placed a part of their plot in Japan setting, given how Japan heavily influenced this period. So get ready to hear some odd Japanese accent dialogue since (I guess) there are no native actors in the films
