They are both Historical Wuxia Chinese dramas. The friendship value, in both dramas, made them worthwhile to watch. The main leads are involved with fate/destiny. Both male leads are very intelligent and try to find their path in life.

Same kind of subtle romance and there is a cute second female lead who wholeheartedly love the male lead and do everything just for him.

In both drama the ending seems disappointing but it is not that bad. With that difference that the male lead in The Taoism Grandmaster doesn't end up with anyone there.

Both drama are really interesting and I highly recommend everyone to watch them.
