both are a older woman/younger man both fl’s are lawyers too and both look quite similar in terms of plot wise apart from the superpower ofc
Both series FL is demoted to lesser position as a punishment. Both FL wanted to become a partner of law firm where they worked hard without holding justice but in the get betrayed by their counterparts. Both FL learn from the setback and punish the people responsible for their setbacks.
It is similar that the main characters of both dramas are reputable professionals of law and something will happen that will put a dent on their career. Both also teaches in a law school. The drama will revolve on the their relationship with their student/s although it may include romance in "Why Her?".
These two dramas have a lot in common, such as a law school setting, a conglomerate scandal, a murder mystery, and a strong female lead. Both dramas also have various characters in legal practitioners such as lawyers, prosecutors, judges, paralegals, law students, law professors, and police officers. The difference is that in Why Her, the main female character fights the conglomerates, while in The Empire the main female character is the conglomerate itself.

Similarities:
- Oh Soo Jae (Why Her?) / Hwang Do hee (Queenmaker): capable women that go above and beyond for the company they work for and are considered the aces of the company.
- Both have revenge//seeking redemption arcs
- The Female leads have a long and complicated history//relationship with their bosses.
- There’s a suicide case that's blamed on the FLs
-They have unexpected turns and bomb truths
Differences:
- Why her? Is a law drama whereas Queenmaker is a political drama.
- Queenmaker has a sisterhood focus Why Her leans a little into noona romance but its main focus is Oh Soo Jae
-Why Her? feels, for me, darker and heavier.

Both fls are one of my favorites. Both rock a bob and more seriously, both dramas are about 2 competent, smart, beautiful women that builded their careers from the ground up but both face the same discrimination and close mindedness of the man centered corruptions
Both also have 2 psycho bosses that do know and acknowledge the fls powers but still can't tolerate a woman in power
