I guess makanai-san mangaka took inspiration from it it's a classic story to begin with. There are many versions but I would choose the Haru Kuroki version anyday.

Although the Mysterious Lotus Casebook (MLC) is not out yet, they have a similar plot about a powerful character that disappears; then re-appear after a period of time to fight calamity. Both dramas have the same ML and includes a level of bromance (From what I saw in the trailer). If you like one definitely give the other one a chance (when it comes out)

A chick is being hunted by a crazy guy who is obsessed with killing/posessing her.

Both are very good movie. Both has to do with treating dead body with dignity. Gave the living family and loveone a comfort and closure. Story not exactly the same, they are both beautiful in their own way

- Both talk about touchy or taboo subjects and also offer some insights or advices.
- Female lead characters

Similar story about a fighter who lost the will to fight after a life tragedy and struggles to get back on their feet to find a new purpose in life.

Both are short length vertically filmed dramas in which a wealthy man finds a woman he believes is mentally disabled/ill and brings her home with him as a key piece of his plot in revenge or protecting himself against his family. Both FLs are revealed to have secrets and goals of their own. The MLs refer to the FLs as "little thing" for the first part of the drama.

Different plot, similar atmosphere. Both movies have a soothing feel, countryside/seaside setting, and are female driven stories. Both also relate to food - a bakery vs. a sandwich shop.

Both explore obsessive love, marriage, loyalty, friendship, betrayal and infidelity. Love Twist strikes me as looking to be a little more nuanced with it's villainous characters; and also created in me a greater level of discomfort offending my sensibilities.
