both movies are about the female lead having an illness and spending their remaining time with the male lead. both male leads are the same as well
Both movies have a very similar concept. Plot is set in present time but occasional flashbacks to the past to explain the story. Both leads have very unfortunate endings which are revealed very early into the movies.
The most similar part is in the iconic lines. In "Love Letter" which shows the female lead shouting "How are you? I'm fine" into the wilderness while "I want to eat your pancreas" is the iconic line in the movie. Both lines will leave extremely deep impression in the viewer.

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.
