Love in Sadness music vibe is present in Bad Guy (and vice versa).
Melodramas with some suspense.
A fight with those in power. And falling in love during the fight.
Hidden identities. Lies. Pitiful.
Love in sadness is less painful, however.
Bad Guy is way more intense.

A woman born in Korea navigates her way through love, war, politics and national loyalties to become a powerful empress in China's Yuan dynasty.

Both are very dark dramas that talk about more sensitive subjects~
Although the plots are pretty different they are both sad love stories that the characters had to go through a lot to be with the person they love. They are both very dramatic and once you start you cant stop watching, wanting to always see what happens next.
