Both are similar, and very alike. Just a few changes here and there, but each has their own uniqueness.
Similarities between SSL and WL:
- FL is a student who is doing poorly at school and doesn't want to sit her exams.
- She time travels to the past (SSL)/ enters a historical story (WF) where she meets the ML who is the emperor.
- In both dramas, the FL and ML have a very similar relationship where the leads first hate each other and later befriend each other.
- The main leads hit it off almost immediately despite their power imbalance and the FL treats the ML, the emporor like she would a friend.
- The FL also meets her modern world best friend counterpart in the historical world and befriends her
- In both dramas the FL's life is on the line and she has to use her school knowledge of history to solve the problems faced in the emperors empire to survive.
- Both dramas have a lot of hints of romance that doesn't actually start, the leads are only really good friends that clearly develop feelings for each other.
- In both dramas the FL travels back to the modern world and meets a man with the same face as the ML in the historical/story world.
- The leads have crazy chemistry in both dramas.
Differences (what WL did better)
- What I loved about WL was that the FL already knew the modern day ML before travelling to the past and they were already good friends/frienamies even in the modern world.
- It is clear from the modern world scenes in WL that the ML always liked the FL.
