single parent ML while in UL the female is unmarried and has a break up recently. DH seems more realistic in places. In DH FL is also a single mother. DH is a more healing kind of drama while UL is a healing drama but more of a rom com.

It's not exaclt the same thing, like they enter dreamsbut just the vibe of it is similar. This show is like a mix of sci-fi, mystery, fantasy as well as a subtle romance. I absolutely loved 19th floor and I'm loving The Seven Relics of Ill Omen, so I highly suggest.

The stories are very different on the surface, but the core themes appear to be very similar. The kind of response Mirae's character is getting is identical to what Chen Yun Ru got in SOOD. And if you are a mature person with a well functioning brain, you will loathe what certain privileged people have to say about these 2 characters. It will remind you that even in 2025, we still have people that get annoyed at people who are struggling psychologically and look 'depressed' all the time giving 'negative vibes'. SOOD has done an excellent job with Chen Yun Ru's character, and OUS is doing very well with Mirae's character so far. If you need a drama with such complex and highly realistic characters, watch SOOD & OUS.
