Both sageuk films that feature intense relationships. both films have some scenes not for minors too. Homosexuality is featured in both.
Both are historical films featuring intimate scenes between two people of the same gender. The acting is also amazing in both. Song Ji Hyo in Frozen Flower has strong presence.
despite the fact that the plots are very different, both are historical films and in both films there is a gay story.
Under the pressure of the Yuan Kingdom, the King of Goryeo is pressured to produce a successor to the throne. But the king is in love with his loyal general Hong Rim. After seriously pondering the issue, the king asks his lover Hong Rim to sleep with the Queen, with unexpected consequences.
