There is a relation / they have a relation

In this drama, there is a relation, which is described in the diagram below, between the characters.
In this drama, the characters have a relation described in the diagram below.

Are they both correct and do they mean the same?

Thanks.

I would use "described by", but otherwise, they are OK and mean the same. The second is much easier to understand. You can phrase it like this, too: In this drama, there is a relation between the characters, described by the diagram below.
