* Both shows are historical, political dramas with some romance. (I would say Snowdrop is 50% romantic melodrama + 50% political thriller. Whereas The Rebel focuses more on the war, espionage and politics (65%), but the 35% of the romance is muuuch more powerful, evident and dramatic; and the leads have better chemistry!)
* Both shows depict the struggle for power between two opposing parties (Snowdrop takes place during SK presidential elections, while The Rebel takes place during China's Civil War).
* Forbidden romance trope: in Snowdrop we have the SK National Intelligence director's daughter and a NK spy that is holding her captive; in The Rebel the FL is an underground communist that is targeted by the ML (a secret agent of the nationalist party).
* FLs are students with somewhat powerful fathers, while the MLs are agents/spies.
* Both MLs have doubts / change their political views, because of the FLs. And all they want to do is protect the FLs.
* I just find the vibe of these two shows similar - I really recommend watching The Rebel (for the plot, the visuals and the romance).
