Soredemo, Ikite Yuku (2011)

Both star Mitsushima Hikari as a main character who has to face the aftermath of a deceased character.

- Point of view from murderer's family that have nothing to do with murder case (Soredemo has both point of view tho)
- Misery cause of public's judgemental
- Grey line that make you choose between right or wrong
- Brilliant acting

Same main actress, same writer, both deal with the aftermath of an important person's death

It's not exactly the same plot of course but it's similar

They both have this dark and sad aura and kind of forbidden relationships.

Both are like a movie. Two people are connected by one tragedy, fall in love with each other, and managing their wounds. Both are deeply psychological dramas.

Both are serious venues in which the actions of one person affect and determine the fate of every relation person. Two of the best J dramas ever produced.

Very similar but a narrower focus.
- Also deals with the aftermath of a murder and the impact on the victims' and perpetrators' families
- all the pain, grief and social isolation both sides go through
- discusses mental illness
- healing and both sides forgiving each other
- masterpiece dramas
This drama has more romance though and is much sadder.

Both begin with a murder. Soredemo is more of a serious and insightful drama, One Million Stars is a mystery romance featuring the talented Kimura.

Both are serious, thoughtful dramas that cannot be forgotten. Kamisama is one of those dark romances that you hesitate to watch, but are glad you did. Both have subject matters that affect others in a tragic way. Kamisama is more heartwarming, both are memorable.

Both drama have same plot...Showing the struggle of both the victim's and perpetrator's family and how they overcome this incident to find their hapiness.

Different stories.
IHYV has more comedy elements meanwhile SIY has a heavier melancholic atmosphere throughout the drama.

Both:
- gave the same message about revenge
- have a crime that occurred in the past that have been the driving point of the story and how the male and female lead had their connection

They are beautiful. You will find in both the excellent actors Eita and Mitsushima Hikari.In both, the dialogues are meaningful, and well-written. They will both make you cry. They will both make you smile. They are both well directed.
Hara-Kiri is in 2011 Cannes' Festival competition.

These series have a plot, a filming approach and accents of various kinds. However, a sorely specific situation is the basis of dramas. There are a prisoner's family and a victim's family. One day these families’ members meet each other.

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.
