The leading man reminds me of Kang Ma-Ru;s character who atones himself of the mistake he did in the past. How he also sacrifices his life and happiness for people he loves. If you fell in love with Kang Ma-Ru you might also fell in love with Soda Ren.

Both dramas are melodramatic. And relationship between lead couples are similar. They both give you the same emotional vibes.

Written by the same author so the small little things you see in LTMYC, like the small conversations they would have even though pointless but makes the drama even more compelling, will also be in Soredemo, Ikite Yuku. There will also be a romance between the two main characters. Oto's mom is playing one of the main characters and ofcourse, Eita which is also going to be the other main character and her partner in this drama.

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.

Not your typical love story.A realistic drama about the hardships and struggles in life. A great storyline about finding true love. A must see for everyone who wants tearjerker dramas.A plausible performance from the actors and actresses. I just loved everything about it.It shows the real meaning of love and family.

Similar storytelling and development, as there are time gaps in the story. The relationship between the main characters is kinda similar as well. Also Kasumi and Kentaro appear on both films.
