Both feature a younger, severely ill female lead with a bright personality and a calm, older, reticent male lead who gradually softens to her charms. Both have strong performances that really make the characters work and brings a lot of nuance to the roles. The Forbidden Flower has more of a sultry summer vibe with lush vibrant cinematography (at least when it’s not off doing pointless side stories with supporting characters). Our Movie has more understated visuals and atmosphere. It’s less striking, but overall stylistically more sophisticated and has artful editing. Both are contemporary takes on the classic melodramas of the 90s and 00s. Our Movie is also commenting on its own genre, because the characters are remaking a 90s melodrama.

Identity swap, detective/mystery, revenge, smart female lead, smart male lead.
