both are romantic historical dramas which emphasize a love triangle between a simple woman, the king of the country and the woman's childhood friend/ the king's brother . Also, a thing which I found very similar was the fact that both stories begin with a childhood sequence of the main characters ^^
Both dramas revolve around pottery/ceramics and the potters behind the craft. Whereas Goddess of Fire is more like a lighthearted romcom about the Royal Workshop and the first female ceramist of Korea, The River Children would offer you a more grounded and slice-of-life approach to the commoners who were pioneers of the craft in the Republican China and the struggles they faced (plus with some family drama haha).
Really, the two are QUITE different, but if you are interested in checking out dramas about this craft, do check both of them out.
