Both dramas revolve around the FL’s repeated attempts to defy her fate. Personally, I preferred the plot-writing approach in Fortune Writer~it felt more coherent and realistic.. whereas Above the Clouds turned into a messy, repetitive storyline. In Fortune Writer, the ML discovers the truth much later in the series, adding to the suspense, while in Above the Clouds, he becomes vaguely aware of the situation quite early on.

Nonetheless, both stories are deeply rooted in the same core theme: knowing one’s tragic destiny and desperately trying to rewrite it.
