In both dramas, the male main lead is framed for the crime he did not commit and is on the run but later returns to take his revenge on the people who cause his pain .

They have similar setups, strong female leads who have a crush on their senior/president and then meet the male leads who is a chef. The female leads dress fashionably and they are successful in their own way at their jobs. Also have multiple couples.

Contrary to "Dear Doctor, I'm Coming for Soul", "Move to Heaven" is not supernatural nor a BL (it has a gay side plot for one episode though), but the similarity between the two dramas lies in how it portraits death. It shows different stories and fates of people who died / are about to die. Both dramas are really touching and tear jerking but beautiful.

The shows have a very similar vibe, they are both centred at Japanese food businesses, with Rokuhodo Yotsuiro Biyori taking place at a traditional Japanese cafe and Tokyo Seimenjo at an noodle factory. Both shows are about the people who work there, and in each episode, we learn more about them as they cope with struggles or help customers.

Kitagawa Keiko plays the FL and Ito Hideaki plays the SML in both dramas. In both dramas, Kitagawa Keiko plays the role of a character who is working to fulfill her dreams and thinking of moving back to her parents' home in the countryside in case of failure. There are also love triangles in both dramas.

In both dramas :
- Single Mother Female lead (others child)
- Nice Male lead
- Hardworking Female lead

If you enjoy the chaotic energy of one I'm confident you'll enjoy the other. In both shows they play a variety of games and they are given missions they have to complete. If they don't succeed with their mission they get penalized. Both shows are pretty funny.

In both dramas :
- Revenge
- Strong Female Lead
- Female Lead Hidden Identity
- Smart Male Lead

In both dramas :
- one drama is adaptation for other
- same characters but different actors...

historical with a spice of martial art world.
strong female lead.
Though, it is the ML who has hidden identity.

Endless parallels between Hometown Cha & #LoveAllPlay.
Dusik & Taeyang, both orphans, are paralysed by carrying the burden of a mistake way out of their control, tied to a beloved senior/sunbae. Meanwhile Taejoon & Dusik suppress their wounds to be the smiling jolly men taking care of everyone around. Just ?PAIN?? but the wholesome, healing, cathartic Kinds.

Both have got every element we’re dying for these days. Absolutely beautiful cinematography, uplifting as well as heart-rending OSTs, ANAZING acting by the whole cast and a wholesome, healing plot with all the feels. The dynamic between leads of both the shows is so cute and equal in a rare way.

Both shows display various conflicts on multiple levels and issues, but doesn’t forget to give us the point of view of every character, making us feel for all of them inspite of temptation to hate.

And ofcourse, both are fine examples of character driven storylines with an overarching plot that allows for smaller storylines that do not interfere but rather enrich the main story further. Most shows just tease and dangle side plots and fail to utilise their full potential that could make the storyline fuller, leaving the secondary plots rushed & underdeveloped only to drag the main plot. But not these shows <3 They created fully developed 3 dimensional characters within small tight knit communities, exploring their complexities, and fully real-ised their stories in addition to the main one. Which is why they felt so full & not a single episode was slow or uneventful.

All in all, both the shows are so pure and pretty much perfect, and will leave your heart aching for more.

If you love Homecha and it was your healing, comfort show, you know exactly how I feel. Nothing after it has felt like that. But Love All Play will be joining the ranks of healing, wholesome shows. So if you like either of these and want a little bit of that back again, I highly recommend the other. <3

- MLs are polar opposite, yet both are eccentric.
- They're quite different in genre and plot-wise but both FLs are heads of PR of their company.
- Main couple lead's relationship in HSL is platonic, whereas SS has a romantic connection
with them.

- Set in a school/ institute.
- Involves martial arts and traditional/cultural practices.
- FL in MS guided the ML to get better, while the ML in STC became the FL's teacher.
- Both have a competition where they prepared hard.
- Taught the values and teachings passed down by their predecessors.
- Both are very enjoyable and worth the watch.
