The two of them had the same feel as well as parallels when it comes to scenes and a bittersweet ending.
Both are of two strong, and loyal female leads who fight in the army, and help their nation rise out on top. Both also have the extremely complex sisterly relationship (Ruo Lan and Seolnan love their younger sisters to death, but Seolhi and Yu He want nothing to do with their older sisters-both of them are power hungry and ambitious). Both dramas tale the growth of 2 seemingly naive leads who eventually become leaders.
An other adaptation of the Legend of Hua Mulan, from the moment her father is enlisted until the end of the war. However, in this one, Mulan isn't a super-woman but a mere girl who trains hard to survive and protect her family. Mu Lan is also more focused on the Royal Family's intrigues instead of the Rourans' royalty.
Mu Lan's plot presents different element of the legend, the Legend Of Hua Mulan foresaw.
