A Sex and the city feeling, presenting women in their 30s and their daily lives. Different characters and situations but quite similar when it comes to finding the right partner.

Both are about gangs fighting for dominance. Also, if you like massive fights then Crows Zero movies are for you !

Here are the similarities:

- Intelligent plotting of both main characters.
- A clear fight between good vs evil. (and the good people aren't necessarily purely nice and the bad people aren't necessarily purely evil)
- A subtle romance (the romance in NiF is very subtle while in SFD, it's slightly stronger)
- Relationships. Romance, friendships, comrades, etc.
- Politic
- Bittersweet.

Ishihara Satomi plays the main female role in both dramas. the plots are quite different, but if you enjoyed the chemistry between Yamapi and Ishihara, you will enjoy the chemistry between her and Oguri Shun.

Director Quentin Tarantino named it, along with Bong's The Host, as one of his Top 20 favorite movies since 1992 This excellent movie (who ages really well like wine:) must have inspired this drama's author in a way It is even said that Signal is the Tv adaptation of Memories of Murder This film deals with the Gyeonggi serial rape and murder case that detectives invistigate on the first 4 episodes of Signal This movie has an amazing cast (Song Kang-HO is brilliant!) and cinematography The rest of the cast is keeping up brilliantly and the ending leaves you speechless The real life case, apparently and sadly the first serial killing case reported in Korea's history was never solved and reached a statue of limitation in 2006 unlike in Signal
