Both movies have so many 'what ifs' and lost chances. It may ended up sad but it's really beautiful, heartwarming, and inspiring.

A summer hit in HK, this romantic fantasy from Jingle Ma is shamelessly manipulative, incredibly cheesy, and totally sappy. It goes to extreme lengths to yank your chains and push your buttons...and it works. Amazingly, this manufactured piece of sap is also an entertaining, compelling movie. An HK version of Ghost and Always, Fly Me to Polaris stars Richie Ren as Onion, a blind-mute who’s in love with his nurse Autumn (Cecilia Cheung). Before any feelings can be exchanged, he dies in a Meet Joe Black kinda way and proceeds to win a celestial contest. This flimsy plot device states he can have one wish - which he uses to live again. They deny him that, but give him the opportunity to return for one week.

Both FL lead is ill but one of them is passed away. They tried to start a romance relationship with someone they think is good enough for them & want spend more time with ML & both of FL keep their illness a secret until ML find out by themselves. I think in both movie & dramas both FL & ML already drawn to each other so deeply. They start their romance so quickly & end up so quick too but still both ML try their best to be together with FL. Mamiya Shotaro is adorable & this time he get the FL.

Similar story about a sick girl want to be with someone she like & she doesn't have so much time. In Heavenly Forest the girl is passed away & Yuki no Hana you will find the answer when u watch it. A warm & touching love story is definitely I recommend to watch it.

This both movies left a great mark in my heart :'D
Both male leads piqued interest to the uniqueness of the female leads.
Both female leads have the same kind of job.
