If you loved the quiet comfort of summer strike, there’s a good chance you’ll vibe with little forest too. Both are slow-paced, healing stories about young women who walk away from the chaos of city life to reconnect with themselves in peaceful, rural settings.

In Little Forest, Hye-won finds her peace through cooking and nature — there’s something deeply soothing about watching her prepare meals with ingredients she grows herself. In Summer Strike, Yeo-reum escapes to a small seaside town, where doing “nothing” becomes her way of processing grief and burnout.

What makes both stories special is how they focus on the small, meaningful moments — a quiet meal, a walk through nature, a heartfelt conversation with a stranger. There’s no big drama, just the slow unfolding of self-discovery and healing.

They remind you that it’s okay to stop, breathe, and just be — and sometimes, that’s exactly what we need.

Minus the fantastical powers, we have very similar color palettes, filming techniques, story progression and overall vibe to both shows. Troubled teens compensating for their families difficulties in whatever way they perceive to be fit, navigating what they know of the world around them. Their narrow view of the world expands as events they experience quickly make that world more and more dangerous. High school dynamics, bullying and abuse, trauma, the formation of friendships - all similar themes explored in the shows, especially in the beginning. And obviously the close-up fight scenes, although more graphic in moving in my opinion.

Both are mini dramas in which the ML has a rare or supernatural talent/power and finds himself entangled with a group of women.

Female leads believe they are siblings with the male leads. Male leads secretly know they're not really related and fall for them romantically. Female leads eventually reciprocate their feelings.

Exactly the same plot but 'After Everyone Can Read Minds, The Young General Begs For No Divorce' has a historical setting. I also felt the comedy was much better in it. But the modern setting drama has better side characters.

- rural village setting
- city boy/rural guy
- Thailand's rural scenes
- as same as Yo's parents, Faifa's grandma sent him to a rural village against his will
- age gap in reel and real life.
