The film and the series focus on Manora, a traditional Thai dance and its performer, combining the theme with a horror twist.

Beside that both Therapy Game and When It Rains, It Pours are J-bl, they're about a chance encounter between a straight man and gay man. As both series progress, the relationship develops from friends to lovers. I'm drawn to the idea of a straight man's pov. What makes a him fall for a gay man? Or perhaps I am intrigued by how the gay person seduce the straight man!?

Features the same actors. Endless Sea is a short-form drama. Features the same actors. Endless Sea is a short-form drama.

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.
