For all those who were excited for this and had high expectations for this drama but was ultimately disappointed, go watch the original Chinese drama!! I don't want to spoil things so I won't describe how that one is so much better! But yes, please go and try to watch that!

Main characters have to deal with mysterious magic and events. Love slowly blossoms as they both face challenges together.

Both are South Korean dramas, similar in that it features a modern person who time-travelled to the past. In Moon lovers, it is Goryeo Dynasty. In Mr Queen, it is Joseon Dynasty. Another difference is that Mr Queen features a man in a woman's body and Moon lovers was a girl residing in another girl's body.

Both tell a story about founding a kingdom. Moon Lovers is based on the beginning of the Goryeo dynasty while Six Flying dragons is based on the foundation of the Joseon dynasty.

Both dramas have a similar vibe to them, be it the plot or the acting. Both dramas will make you smile and cry a lot. The music & cinematography in both dramas is also superb.

If the drama is as much based on the novel, the ending of the ml and fl of Scarlet Heart and Red Sleeves are same. Regardless of the time travel in SH:R, the story flow of political reasons coming in between lover and separation are same.

Both are historical dramas. Both have very intense romances between the leads. Lots of murder and tragedy in both dramas. Highly recommend both, as long as you're prepared for the tears.

Both drama's are Time Period dramas. Both have an evil Queen. In SHR the Queen is more evil, whereas in Hwarang the Queen is more neglectful.

Both female leads are sent back in time. Although there are huge plot difference between the two dramas, they share a similar sense of direction. They both start very light-heartedly and joyful only to go down a much deeper path with an emotional twist. However, the time travel aspect is a heavier story element in Faith than it is in Moon Lovers, but still, Moon Lovers is pretty entertaining without having to surround its' plot around time travelling.

If you want to fill the void that Scarlet Heart Ryeo left, this drama is a great reliever. Like Scarlet Heart, it is a historical drama wherein several princes are fighting for the throne and surprisingly *insert the sarcasm* they are also vying for the love of the heroine. But what makes it better is that it is well - written. It has 54 episodes, which I hope you have the patience to finish, so it isn't that rush, unlike you-know-who. The heroine in the story is so much better. We’re at the point in the story where our heroine is being stomped on and typically, she’d lose heart or stay cheery and upbeat in spite of her circumstances. But not Wei Young. She’s more of the, “You might have the upper hand now but I’m still not taking your shit.” type heroine. All in all, JUST WATCH IT :)

Both involve a female protagonist travelling back in time. They also become involved with important historical figures of that time and contribute in politics/strategies using their knowledge from the future.
Splash Splash LOVE is definitely a lot shorter, but it's worth a watch if you want something quick and succinct.

Yu Jin was raised within the desert tribes of Xiong Nu, although her foster father is a Han. Under certain circumstances, she was forced to flee to Chang'an, the then capital of the Early Han Dynasty, changing her name to Jin Yu along the way. Along her journey, she first meets the calm and kind Mo Xun (aka Jiu Ye, ninth master) and later the handsome, cold general Wei Wu Ji. Jin Yu falls for one of them but is rejected. Will she untangle her love knot? Who will she choose in the end?

These dramas are historical romances with great cast. In both dramas ML is obsessed with FL and jealous because of SFL. FL in these dramas have similar personalities. SFL in both dramas is kind and protective but makes bad decisions that hurt FL. Both dramas revolve around power struggles and the plot takes place mainly in palace. Ending of Scarlet Heart Ryeo is similar to ending of Good Bye My Princess.

Nous avons une femme du monde moderne qui se retrouve coincée dans le corps d'une autre, et qui cherche à retourner dans sa propre époque.
- elle doit s'adapter à l'époque,
- elle doit faire face aux sentiments de deux hommes,
- elle a un caractère complètement différent,

On pourrait dire que ''The Eternal Love'' est un mélange entre ''Oh My Ghost'', ''Splash Splash Love'' et ''Moon Lovers''...
