Very similar with the palace and political conflicts. Both the male and female lead characters are or become righteous and influential with strong moral compasses. Both female leads may seem weak at first but they quickly change and become strong, quick thinking, decisive, and upright women. Both men show loyalty and bravery.
If you enjoy a well constructed plot and characters you can really root for; not just the leads but also many of the people surrounding them; then you will love both these series.
