Heroes could easily be compared to any martial arts drama and movie (particularly those starring Jet Li and Donnie Yen, and even Shaw Brothers' production).

There is an almost old school feel about the way Heroes was produced. The archetypal upright and stoic martial arts master, the stereotypical menacing and evil villain, the almost non-stop breathless action sequences, and of course, the final showdown (in the case of the drama, there's plenty of those).

In terms of the time period, production sets, story line and overall looks (half bald with pigtails, shadowless kicks and all), these 2 productions are almost indistinguishable.

Love and betrayal, political upheavals and court rivalries, fierce battles fought at the war front are features shared by these two epic productions.

Filmed in subdued colour palettes, both feature strong protagonists and antagonists whose seemingly endless machinations are played out with frightening deftness and devastating consequences.

Based on historical events, these dramas represent intense viewing that demands your absolute attention.

If you enjoyed one, you'd probably like the other.

Same leads, same production team, same witty dialogues, and the same strong leading lady.

The only difference is the time period.

You'll definitely experience a sense of déjà vu.

You can't watch one without the other, and you've got to watch the first season to make sense of the sequel.

And obviously if you enjoyed the first season, you would expect a closure in the second season.

Expect more of the same, with blood and guts galore.

Retaining the cast not only maintains the production standards but also preserves the continuity of the plot.

Both dramas share much similarities between them.

The brilliant mind of the brooding detective, mysterious cases to solve, a group of helpful friends, and a bit of romance amidst all that.

And, both dramas have major plot twists at the end.
