both stories are about the 2 main leads meeting in different stages of their lives, a story of first love, second chance and the last meeting..

both have the "cold rich male lead with a traumatic past", and they both have a mature/grownup ish romance.. with a strong female lead...
also, the parents in both dramas are more supportive than the usual romcom parent ;p

Both stories have a war background in which lead actresses are skilled in gunnery.
YNS is based on a true story. The acting and cinematography are very good in this drama too.

Both movies are about a woman (Iwashita Shima) leading others to madness.................................................................

Same genre. Ever Night may have higher production values, but both are enjoyable for what they are. Very high quality effects and acting. If you're watching Oriental Odyssey, watching Ever Night in-between episode releases, is a must.

U can feel the same office aura, with our FL being belittled by her boss, and having to watch her Co workers go through a lot. She finally explodes and the journey begins

In both dramas the female lead is the the same and has strong chemistry with the male lead.
Both relationships have reasons, why they shouldn't be together. One person has caused the other harm in the past and they need to overcome that.

One of the "Must Know" story of Qing Dynasty's most wicked Empreress Dowager - Ci Xi ( 3 November 1835 - 15 November 1908 ). Empress Dowager Ci Xi by historical records was the Emperor Tong Zhi ( Yong Yan)'s Imperial Concubine and the grandmother of Emperor Xuan Tong (Pu Yi).

This "The Last Emperor" has 2 different choices, it has the longer version the drama and the movie itself. Both are great stories. The Last Emperor foretell the endings of Qing Dynasty. And by historical records, The Last Emperor - Xuan Tong Emperor (7 February 1906 - 17 October 1967) also known as Pu Yi, is the grandson of Emperor Qian Long (Hong Li) in this Ruyi's Royal Love In The Palace. It shown the down falls of Qing Dynasty after Emperor Qian Long (Hong Li) named his successor the 15th son - Yong Yan (Emperor Jia Qing from 13 November 1760 - 2 September 1820). During his reign it was the doomed era of China as opium started to smuggling in and also related to another historical even the marriage of Emperor Jia Qing with Empress Dowager CiXi.

They are similar by:
-one female help a lot in the boys' lives
- similar feel: lots of comedy with a lot of heart.
- she goes through lengths to help the boys she comes to care for.
-There is hinted of romance, but there isn't much (veeeeeeerrrrrry small).
-the female leads do learn from the boys just as much as she helps them.

Difference:
-The female in Gokusen is a teacher while in AND, she is the boys' step-mom.
- The female lead in AND was hesitant at first before accepting them while in Gokusen, she was accepting from the start.

There are relatives in the female leads' families that would do anything to get rid of the female lead. In Hide and Seek it is her Grandmother and in Inheritance, it is her mother-in-law. The difference is that in Hide and Seek, the female lead has backbone from the beginning. While the female lead in AHYI, grows to have a backbone later on.

Similar genre, this is the story of Emperor ShunZhi (15 March 1638 - 5 February 1661 Qing Dynasty) with Empress Xiao Xian or also known as Lady Dong Xiao Wan, later known as Imperial Consort Donggo. By historical records, Emperor ShunZhi is the grand father of Emperor Xiang Long (Hong Li) in this Ruyi's Royal Love In The Palace.
