Both of these dramas are slice of life that focus on character growth and the mutual healing relationship between the leads. These dramas acknowledge the sorrows and challenges of life, but also the hope, love, and laughter that wait in tomorrow.

Very similar in that they both have had past trauma that is keeping them from truly loving someone and how they deal with that trauma.

Nakama Yukie also plays her role superbly. Make sure subtitles are decent. Look for ones by Momoflower.

Not a suspense drama. Family drama with a little funny business. The 'miracle' is really there but subtle. I didn't know why the Irish dance the way they do before I saw this.

Always in the background is the impact of losing WWII on the three following generations of Japanese. But of course this is barely mentioned at all.

Yeah, they are completely different genre. Arifureta is romance/ slice of life/ human drama/ family; and Date is more comedy/ romance/ family; but they do have some similar traits:

-main couple have somewhat scarred soul/ unusual conditions; and in dorama we'll be showed how they overcome their problems and grow together as a person and couple
-the family somewhat meddle their relationship
-both dorama have multilayering message and unique aura
-both have some fun; absurd, and wtf moments :XD:
