+ Both have the premise of an undercover male protagonist seeking out corrupt rulers in an Imperialist setting with a female companion<br> + Heavily influenced & based upon various East Asian folk tales<br> + Aestheticism plays a significant role in a majority of scenes<br> + Similar plot development<br> <br>- Very little romantic development in Shin Shunkaden (Shun)<br> - ShinShun is noticeably shorter than Shin Angyo Onshi (Angyo), hence less adventuring<br> - ShinShun puts the female protagonist in the spotlight, while the reverse is true for Angyo<br> - ShinShun is a shoujo, while Angyo is noticeably seinen, with a much darker tone overall <br> 

Both are based on classic stories (Water Margin/Suikoden, Chunhyangga) about travelling revolutionaries seeking to topple corrupt government officials on behalf of the repressed and victimized people of the plauged country.
