Witty sci-fi comedies with a slice of life feel. One is a Japanese drama, the other a Japanese movie.

Return is from the same director as 7 Escape, The Last Empress and Penthouse but Kim Soon Ok isn't the writer. You could see the drama's poster in Ra Hee's agency! Also, there are two main actors in common with 7 Escape, The Last Empress and Penthouse.

If you enjoyed 7 Escape, you'll probably love Return.

From Kim Soon Ok! Same writer, check her other dramas too.

Kang Ha Ri, with her bright personality, works part-time at a stationery store and a nail shop. Min Deul Re was a popular actress, but she isn't so popular these days. Kim Eun Hyang worked as a secretary prior to the birth of her daughter, but she now focuses on raising her daughter.

These three women lose their most loved ones around the same time. Even though they are not related, they rely on each other to get through the tough times.
