-both are about the romance between a deaf person and someone they love
-silent tackled their issue in a more mature and healthy way
-aishiteiru to ittekure give a slightly similar vibe with more nostalgia and melancholia of 90s dramas

The dynamic between the couple in The Forbidden Flower reminded me of the couple in Aishiteiru to Ittekure. In both dramas a youthful female lead with an outgoing, vibrant personality quickly falls for and pursues an older man with a quieter more reserved presence (in Aishiteiru to Ittekure the male lead doesn't speak because he's deaf; in The Forbidden Flower he's just a more introverted personality and man of few words). Both dramas stood out to me for the how natural the actors felt together, especially something about the physicality of their interactions. The storylines aren't particularly similar; The Forbidden Flower is more melo (and has an unfortunate sideplot that interrupts the main storyline) while Aishiteiru to Ittekure is quite uneventful through much of the drama (can border in boring); but both have mostly mellow, down-to-earth atmosphere.

Original story Japanese drama stars Tokiwa Takako & Toyokawa Etsushi.

In the middle of a bustling metropolis, how could it be that there is only one apple tree? No matter how much Hiroko jumps to try to pluck the apple, she cannot reach it. Fortunately, Kohji passes by and plucks the apple for her. Kohji is a rising young artist who because he lost his hearing at the age of 7, lives by only expressing himself through paintings. Furthermore, Hiroko is a young actress who practices acting with a drama troupe while holding a part-time job.

The two meet again and again in the park until one day, she learns that Kohji is deaf. Through their initial attraction, Hiroko begins to learn Japanese sign language in order to communicate with Kohji and as their relationship develops, several obstacles arise as well.

Its the same lead actress, I honestly enjoyed her acting in both. They are both iconic Japanese 90s romance.

Totally different plot. But both are good in their own way.

Love story about ML who is blind & FL who is deaf but they found love in each other. I really enjoy melodrama romance movie or dramas. "See Hear Love" is the story of Izumimoto Shinji – a manga artist gradually losing his vision at the height of his series’ popularity – and Aida Hibiki, a fan who was born deaf.
