Both FLs are spies/assassins
Both MLs have a mysterious birth background and people do not take them seriously.
These two dramas have a lot in common in terms of fights, suspense, and different sects. For AOS there is the mages who have different powers/ skills and for MJTY there is the Gong residence which has different families with different abilities. there is also some light humor in both dramas that eases the tension.

The whole drama is about soul swapping.
Set in a fictional country called Daeho that does not exist in history or on maps, it is about the love and growth of young mages as they overcome their twisted fates due to a forbidden magic spell known as the "alchemy of souls", which allows souls to switch bodies. It follows the story of an elite assassin named Naksu, whose soul is accidentally trapped inside the weak body of Mu Deok—Jang Uk's servant from a powerful and noble mage family in the country. The young master of the Jang Family, Jang Uk, holds a dark secret about his scandalous birth. He wants the formidable assassin to help change his destiny.

If you like the aspect of a strong independent female lead who works hard and had multiple men protect/love them, these two dramas got it.
Although they are different genres and taken place at different time periods, they both have a lot of similarities. The main male lead is very stubborn and at times rude. The other 3 male characters that follows around the female lead loves her for different reasons (there is the childish cute boy, mature and cool guy, and guy friend personalities). The support characters for both have an amazing story of their own. Both very funny. A few love triangles.

How is this and why is this not compared to "Goblin"?
This drama is basically the Goblin of 2022. Now, this isn't about popularity but because of the setting, it is given.
Even though both dramas have huge gaps in the plot, the essence is the same. A rom-com, fantasy thriller with heart-wrenching scenes to cry.
We got killer leads (literally), magic that fulfills, romance to die for, MLs who are imperfectly perfect, awesome FLs with brains, and endings with pain.
Just how did we forget?

The fate of these people become twisted due to "hwanhonsool" (the soul of the dead return to the living). In the country of Daeho, Jang Wook comes from the noble Jang family. He holds an unpleasant secret about his birth, which people all around the country talk about. He's a troublemaker. Jang Wook happens to meet Mu Deok. She is an elite warrior, but her soul is trapped in a physically weak body. She becomes Jang Wook’s servant, but she also secretly teaches him how to fight. Seo Yool comes from the noble Seo family. He seems perfect with good appearance, intelligence, and strong martial arts skills. Go Won is the crown prince of Daeho. He hopes to become a generous king.
- Both are a fantasy drama full of magic ,mystery & action.
- If AOS has Jin Bu Yeon, Island has Wonjeong as it's powerful priestess in the story.
- Both female lead, Mudeok in AOS & Won Mi Ho in Island had lost their power in the story.
- Male lead in both drama, their mere existence itself were forbidden. Van was remade as a demon slayer while Jang Uk was the product of a black magic called alchemy of soul who not supposedly be born at all. Both ML had their own special sword and are excellent at fighting.
