The Female leads are independent and not afraid to take on challenges. There is a focus on food in both dramas. Mr. Queen is a time travel drama but still just as good as Dae Jang Geum.

Both are NHK Asadoras/ morning dramas. They both have a strong female lead that pursues the ultimate path they want to take. Perfect combination of friendship, family, romance, and unity.

Both have a team of badass, and amazing characters who work together! Amazing feel-good shows to watch.
