Yeah the grandmas! Three grandmas!
No but really
There are many similarities
Feel good romance dramas, with mature characters leaning on each other and healing each other
Female lead who’s good at her job, leaves it.
Meets a guy from the county side who is skilled at many things.
At first both dramas don’t have a clear story direction.
MHOJD was better written, and had more of an existing story line than HCCC.

Same kind of calmness and tranquility
Male and Female leads leaning on each other through hardships.
Healing, precious and sincere,
nicely written and executed.
Both were MBC weekend dramas that aired in the same year... hmm

Light and lovely old-style romantic comedies
Similarity in characters' personalities; kinda messy FL...
Friendship beautifully develops into romance
and cohabitation

Easy watch Rom-Coms
But Sincere and Meaningful
Romance develops slowly and beautifully
Non-Childish themes
Gentle and Healing
Both dramas are something to Cherish and adore
Captivating. You wish it never ends

Both are classic nostalgia kdramas

A man (one from the countryside and one from the past) meets a hard-working woman living in the city. She teaches him the way of the city and ‘civilization’.

And they grow on each other, beautifully.

Romance aside, each drama has its own very unique plot. They have some similarities too.

A country girl that moves to the city, and a guy who first doesn't like her falls in love
Beautiful and heartwarming refreshing dramas

When you watch these dramas you should know you are in for a
Cruel ride
Painful romance
Rough life
Great music that digs deeper into your wound

So prepare your hearts

About a man that makes a big lie about himself because of personal greed/ something he wants. And he falls in love because of that lie.

A romance melodrama.

They have the romantic old/classic drama vibe.

Han Ji Hye stars in both, but she’s the main FL in Cloud Stairs.

Part of the stories is similar

They both have pure romance... Not romance based on bluntly expressed lust and physical attraction like most dramas.

Of course some beautiful melodrama too. Beautiful sincere feelings..

And there is a slight similarity in the stories.

Female lead with lost parents.
Multiple younger and older cute couples everywhere!
OSTs have the same vibe.

They are both told around funny and precious families.
Also let's just say the love lines have some similarities.
