Saimori Miyo was the unfortunate child of a loveless, arranged marriage. After her mother died, her father brought in his lover and her own daughter, Kaya. From then on, Miyo's life was reduced to that of a mere servant. Even worse, while Kaya inherited the family's psychic abilities, Miyo had none—she was truly the daughter with no merit. After years of being treated like dirt, Miyo has learned to keep her head down, hide her pain, and obey every order. So, it comes as no surprise that she is arranged to be married to Kudo Kiyoka, a military captain rumored to be so cruel that he has driven away every one of his potential wives so far. From a painful upbringing to a painful marriage, that's the future that awaits Miyo—or so she thinks. Contrary to her expectations, her new husband is actually kind-hearted. What really awaits Miyo is a blissful, everlasting marriage full of happiness!
1) Marriage is initially unwanted/ arranged
2) Both mains are quite innocent and happy
3) Theme of duty and family honor
4)Though not as dramatic as TLE still exaggerated
5) Both mains marry into a complicated family
And finally...
Really enjoyed watching both dramas and was on the edge of my seat for most of BofTC's episodes.

These two dramas have a lot of similarities-
1. mean/evil mother figure
2. an ordinary females introduction into a traditional and prestigious family
3. a mamas boy who has been controlled by his mother
4. suspicious deaths which are investigated
5. very packed full of drama episodes
6. traitors or backstabbing characters
7. an older senior character in the family
and much more
this drama is a lot shorter, amounting to 8 hour long episodes but it is very interesting and i highly recommend it. these two dramas are VERY similar.

Both "normal" girls who marry into the morden day palace by having an arranged marriage with the crown prince (Goong) and the emperor (The Last Empress) to clear her father's debt. In Goong the FL is involed in arts and in The Last Empress the FL is involed in theatre. Goong is light and entertaining and will give you butterflies whereas The Last Empress is a bit more melodramatic, political and scheming. In both dramas you'll more than likely have second lead syndrome so be warned. If you liked one drama I'm sure you'll like the other too :).
