If you liked the 2016 version of this drama, you might also like to watch this older version. I think the 2016 lacks passion and chemistry between the leads, but this older version makes up for that. Not as stunning to watch when it comes to costumes and setting, but the leads are easy on the eyes. Especially the male lead is eyecandy.

It's been awhile since I watched "The Light.." but as far as I can remember the atmosphere of both movies and some main points are very similar.
For one both are told from a male protagonists POV who is leading a rather aimless life either with no job or going to a vocational school. They both fall for female protagonists who work as hostesses at night and have hidden traumas. Also both movies are set in Hakodate, and the city could be seen as a main character of the movie in itself.

Both movies are based on stories written by novelist Sato Yasushi and are part of his "Hakodate Trilogy" (including another movie called 'Sketches of Kaitan city').

- Both main protagonists are doctors who are exceptionally talented
- Main Protagonists act arrogant
- Always save lives w/out fail
- Do impossible surgeries
- Disliked but admired by coworkers

Both dramas have criminal profilers and detectives as main characters, who spend their days solving cases and looking for serial killers.
There's a bit of romance in Hello Monster as well as in When a Snail Falls in love, but romance isn't really the focus on these stories.

- Is about child that are not taken cared of
-There is controversial justice for the child
-There are parents who neglect or abuse their children
-Just the same feeling overall
