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?
