Laws against imbibing, buying or making alcohol created different challenges for these inhabitants:
Inspector Nam Young from The Office of the Inspector-General who left his hometown to achieve fame in Hanyang and restore his family status; Kang Ro Seo, the aristocratic but impoverished lady who makes moonshine to reduce her debt, allowing her to continue buying her mother’s medication and her brother’s books; and even Crown Prince Lee Pyo, who was prone to scaling the palace walls in search of a tipple.
This trio has a fateful encounter leading to the discovery of a hidden stash of alcohol.

Both are lighthearted dramas that discuss heavy topics like abuse and mental illness. Both MLs have experienced past trauma that continues to effect them and their ability to work. They both are protective of victims of domestic violence and no longer have a biological family. They bicker a lot with the 2ML about how to do their jobs. There is action and comedy that counterbalance the darker portions. Also, both show why going to therapy is important.
In both, the ML is a talented, brilliant acupuncturist who experiences tragedy and leaves the palace/government, ending up in a different place (modern day vs. a village) where he must adapt to a different way of practicing medicine. Both dramas have a similar feel in the historical parts of LUTYN.
