Both stories had the same kind of impact. Both are about universal truths of love and heartbreak and give you meaningful life lessons. Both are complex stories about complex people. There are no shallow, typical characters or dialogs.

The same grand and epic feel with plenty of gritty darkness and so much action in every episode! It's on par with Game of Thrones.

I know more eye candy leads lmao Siwan's character is not as innocent as Ji Chang-wook's but The Merciless is never ending thrill with characters you'll hate yourself for falling in love with.

Both are blood pressure raising, convoluted thrillers. But For The Emperor has nudity and way more darkness and adult themes.

The premise of both movies are different but Derailed is just as much of a dark thriller with a total eye candy male lead. But it's definitely darker on the whole.

Ok I know these two don't seem alike but both these films are character studies that delve into the mind of screwed up people. Both have a transgressive feel with moments that will make you feel uncomfortable but it's going to be worth it in the end. In Burning the emphasis is on the strange relationship between Yoo Ah In and Yeun's and the girl despite having a third character of the girl they both desire and Middle School Girl A is about Hwan Hee and Suho's relationship even though she has a boy she really loves. Because neither of them are lovers but practically strangers.

Both have characters that you'll get invested in. Both have messed up stories that say something about the human condition in a unique way. Showing you both heartlessness and sacrifice.

Both are atmospheric thrillers with heart with a heavy psychological aspect and similar Korean countryside locations.

Both these movies will play with your head and both give the best mindfucks. Swimmers starts out with three friends, two are a couple and the second male lead pines after the girl and gets haunted by the girl’s ghost after she dies. Forgotten starts with the story of two brothers who are living a happy life until something in the house starts haunting them.

Both have the same bromance but you couldve fooled me XD thing going on in this case with Taemin and Shotas characters. Shota literally saves Taemins life putting himself in danger constantly and they have a terrible ill-fated back story like Guardian and Goblin. Final Life is not cutesy but dark though . But I love it!

Innocent Man is the only drama I can think of that has shady male lead and tons of angst and skin ship and Hua Jai Sila is not over yet but Innocent Man is way darker and sadder. Proper tragedy. But honestly love Hua Jai Sila it's so good skin ship wise and it's not misogynistic at all, no boys will be boys or any of that. Just a really aggressive male seriously the part where he's beating the crap out of his step brother was so intense! I was in tears! And plenty of angst and emotional scenes.

If you're looking for more hilarious and exciting EXO and Sehun fix watch the ladder! You won't stop laughing not for a second!
