Both dramas contain references to the moon, and Yeo Jin Goo stars in both dramas (the ML in Hotel Del Luna and the younger version of Kim Soo Hyun in Moon Embracing the Sun).

In both a group of emarginated people try to stop the bad guys while operating outside the law, add a sprinkle of action et voilà.

There is this subtle romance between the two main leads that makes me think of both the dramas. Also, the melancholy of the story which that subtle romance springs to life.

Definitely a slow burn on both ends but the connection between the leads is undeniable.

Both have the same screenwritter so you can expect a thrilling mystery and subtle yet deep romance. While one deals with memories and the other with time travel, both addresses the hardship of 'knowing too much' than an ordinary person and the pain of having to carry that with you.

The female lead has the same job or talent, haven't seen it but gives the same vibe, I don't think she is that quirky here but it looks fun as well.

They have so much in common but on the other hand they are so different just like summer and winter.

Despite differences between them two such as one is TV show and another one is movie and country of origin they are both a great view for men just like me looking for interesting story with a mystery and tough-but-very-funny main characters.
