If you like historical dramas where the royals hide secrets and a romantic love story between the main characters, this would be of interest.

The queen in both dramas plays a part in coordinating the chaos in the palace.

Both dramas have a good sense of humor.

*In both dramas, there is a power difference between the ML and the FL. *

MAIN PLOT:
-In The Red Sleeve there is love between crown prince (ML) and a court maid (FL).
-In The King's Affection it's the opposite. The FL is disguised as a man and she is also the crown prince who is loved by the royal tutor, who is our ML.

SIMILAR TOPICS OF:
-Childhood nostalgia
-Difficult and abusive family relationships
-Political drama
-Injustice in Joseon; class problems and gender inequality
-Love between people from different classes.
-Multidimensional characters with their own ambitions.
(All of these topics affect the relationship of the FL and ML. )

DIFFERENCES BETWEEN DRAMAS:
-The ML in the Red Sleeve is way more toxic, and the FL is more often helpless despite her clever ways. It can be fun to watch toxic couples, it is like a guilty pleasure but this couple was unusually toxic, in my opinion.
-The King's Affection has a bit more humor. The FL is quite amusing as the 'cold ice prince' while the ML tries to assist her. His love is more pure.
-Overall, The Red Sleeve is more sad and tragic because the FL suffers a lot and she is way more helpless. The FL only wants to be able to make her own decisions. It's realistic, I guess... But it made me cry more and not laugh as much as in The King's Affection, despite this series having a few slow episodes in the beginning.

If you like one of these, chances are that you'll like the other one.

Same young female lead, she plays as twins in both dramas, except in the King's Affection, she plays a twin pair of a girl and a boy. Something happens to one of the twins in both dramas.
Again, Joseon Era setting, and political plots.
There is also a parallel of the main leads meeting at a young age, and starting to have feelings for each other since then.

Both dramas are sort of a gender flipped variation of each other with the same concepts: a FL who was supposed to have been killed at birth because she was born a twin but survives, twins who get mistaken for each other, one ends up murdered and the other stepping into their place, mistaken/unknown identities, assassination attempts and scheming within the palace, a childhood meeting between the main couple that the ML or both never forget even as an adult, and a happy ending outside of the palace.

Both have a strong and smart female lead that disguises themselves as a man. There's also a scheme to overthrow the rulers and kill the crown princes in both of the dramas.
