I am just shocked at how smart both male and female leads are. The double the FL uses her cunning and wits to survive, similar to the FL for love in nirvana. Both ML are just as smart as well and they seem to have this mutual understanding of one another although they seem to hate each other from the beginning. It was like enemies to lovers for me. Both move in such a fast pace you can't help but keep watching.
While LLTG does not have an enemy-to-lover trope like LoN, but everything else is almost the same.
-Both ML had to take on different identities (or disguises) growing up in the imperial court in order to investigate the truth about their past family's murder/injustices
-Both ML are screwed and scheming minister/military positions
-Both ML lies and manipulates the FL in their plots and quest for revenge
-Both FL are normal but very smart, witty girls who yearns for a carefree life with freedom.
-Both FL are their own character and person and has a very clear understanding of priority between love, family and responsibility. Meaning they don't go crazy over guys, are rational thinkers, strong and independent.
-Both dramas are slow burn romance
-Theres about a 10 years age gap between ML and FL in both dramas. Both FL are quite young, its like their coming of age story where they get embroil in the MLs' worlds.

Both MLs are extremely powerful , holding a high-ranked position in court as a cover for their important plans (seeking revenge). FLs are carefree and prioritise their freedom and independence above all else, but inevitably get caught up in power struggles of ML and SML - also getting embroiled in court politics. There is more romance in Unchained Love, and it's not really an enemies-to-lovers arc like Love of Nirvana - at most, they start off distrustful of each other.
