While very different in tone (TLLOQL is more comedic, BH more darkly tragic), both are about a battle of wits between an intelligent king/emperor and his crafty advisor who marries a member of his family (estranged daughter vs. adopted niece) to the king/emperor in order to try to control him. However the FL cares about the king/emperor and sides with him against her father/adopted uncle.
Both are historical Dramas with a Crown Prince ML, a Noble in Hiding FL with a mission and Palace intrigue. The Storyline and Plotting in Bloody Heart was amazing- the Characters not so much, but the rest was so good that it´s still worth watching.
OBY seems alot more fast paced then Bloody Heart, but both have a really high production quality (cinematography and music) and make it easy to be fully immersed in their worlds.

Both are historical dramas (Kingdom has fantasy elements, though) with gorgeous cinematography and a unique, rich autumn-like color palette. The ML in both is the only child of the prior king who dies in episode 1 and the queen who was of lower position which threatened/threatens his position. In both he has a childless stepmother who is scheming to have him killed.
