They are both fantasy historical genre. But in the eternal love, a female’s soul travels into another female’s body from the past. The male lead is a prince not a king in this one.

Both dramas deal with corruption and feature a young man who investigates that corruption because their father was framed for murder. In both dramas the young main lead is joined by an older male cop who was the officer that arrested his father, an older woman who has a traumatic connection to the case and a young woman with whom he is friends to form a team. Neither dramas have romance and both have actors that I LOVE ;) @ Lee Junho and Seo Kang Joon. I prefer WATCHER to Confession, but both dramas are worth viewing, especially if you are a fan of this genre.

Both have:
-fantasy and martial arts
-Strong, charismatic, powerful morally grey main leads
-painful pasts and misunderstandings.

Both drama are so deliciously painful.
The love! The sacrifice! The eternal suffering and romance that surpasses time and universes.
