- both summer desire & reflection of you has a selfish female lead with a career that’s in the limelight (singer & painter)
- although its not the focus, the woojae x heejoo x hyun sung love triangle reminds of summer desire love triangle. as in both men in the dramas are possessive and obsessive.
- both dramas are slow paced.

Adapted from the same novel. but beware : they're both REALLY different (and the movie is not half as good as the drama)

it isnt that similiar except for the obsesiveness. plus i think the female leads in both dramas where good at masking emotions..though hana did it unknowingly

obsessive love at it peak...the male leads are pretty similar plus one of them is a pop star while the other is a rich heir...both females have gone through a lot

Both "Mr. Fighting" and "Summer's Desire" shows the struggle of actors/actresses in entertainment industry. But, "Mr. Fighting" is male lead centred, while "Summer's Desire" is female lead centred.
