They are both BL /yaoi parodies. Both are hilarious and both are totally rewatchable. The actors know how to play the humor and do the parody in an affectionate way. Also, both have short formats.
Parehong best historical-fantasy na gawa ng GMA, AMAYA is my childhood favorite, AMAYA is in precolonial period though. I swear this is really worth it.

- Reunion many years later

- ML is interested in aerospace technology

Both shows look at how school violence affects someone long term. While The Glory focuses on an extremely well planned revenge plot created to make the bullies destroy themselves, King of Pigs looks at the dynamic between someone who wants to forget the trauma vs. someone who wants revenge. While both of them show different angles of what revenge looks like and if it's worth it, King of Pigs takes a much darker approach to the subject.
Of course, both dramas star Song Joongki, but the real similarity is the feeling that the protagonist is always one step ahead of everyone else. Even when it's unclear to the viewer how the protagonist will end up victorious, somehow his plan always works out. The thrill of thinking that the protagonist failed only to have him come out on top once again is super exciting to see in both of these Song Joongki dramas.

There's a suspicion among the imperial family to run for the throne. Even though the male lead of both series already take an oath to stay loyal, the suspicion is still exist. Male lead of both dramas are great general who has been spending their life for peace even though suspicion of them beings rebels exists. Both of the drama leads also can't be together in the end because of their priorities and responsibilities.

Bromance
What happen after death
Unsettle spirits

Same young female lead, she plays as twins in both dramas, except in the King's Affection, she plays a twin pair of a girl and a boy. Something happens to one of the twins in both dramas.
Again, Joseon Era setting, and political plots.
There is also a parallel of the main leads meeting at a young age, and starting to have feelings for each other since then.

There is also a parallel of the main leads meeting at a young age, and starting to have feelings for each other since then.
First parallel is the setting, both are set in the Joseon era. Next is the very political plot, with many plot twists and love rivalry. Yet, the main leads try to find how they could be able to love each other despite their obstacles.
WARNING: Next paragraph may contain spoiler
Another parallel though is that the main girl enters the palace as the male lead's concubine.
