During the Joseon Dynasty, a young woman named Hong Chun Ki is a painter – a true rarity in Joseon Korea, where Confucian values dictate that such pursuits are unsuitable for a woman. She was born blind but somehow managed to acquire a sense of vision. And now she has been accepted to the most prestigious art college in the land. One day, she meets Ha Ram, an astrologer whose fate is the polar opposite of her own: Although he was born sighted, he lost his vision in a childhood accident. Regardless, he is also in possession of an astounding talent that allows him to read the future by tracing the movement of the sky at night despite the fact that he is blind. The duo is sucked into the machinations of the royal court, particularly those involving two princes, the free-spirited Prince Yang Myung and the cruel, scheming Prince Joo Hyang – a man who longs to become the next Joseon king.

Cross-dressing FL or ML, historical setting. ML loves the other regardless of gender.

Both feature swoon-worth Joseon romance between a "prince" and a palace official, strong female lead and beautiful aesthetics. We also get some gripping palace politics going on.

Both dramas feature:
- A strong FL that must take on the role of a son against their choice to protect the one's they love.
- A love triangle with at least one ML ready to risk it all for the FL.
- ML that fall in love at first sight, and become protective of the FL.
- Unrequited love
- A stubborn grandfather set in their ways that a daughter is not as precious and strong as a son.
- Family disputes
- Misunderstandings
