While in different situations, both were undoubtedly strong in their past lives and revered in different ways, both MC's end up back as a kid and restart their lives anew. The two leads remind me of each other quite a lot, probably because of their personalities and mature perspectives. They're strong yet kind and ruthless at the same time and I love it.

Both manga are set in the Korean murim and have the story line of a great master that died and was reborn while retaining his knowledge.

This follows the same idealogy of keeping past wisdom and experience as a new life and martial arts. Though this one does not go back to the past to change the future, it does contain the idea of using the his knowledge to help grow people around him and obviously himself.
