In June 1945 (Showa 20), Yamauchi Fusako goes alone to Manchuria where her husband, Setsuo, a second lieutenant of the Kwantung Army, is based. At that time, 200,000 Japanese had settled in Manchuria, a Japanese occupied territory, as settler communities. Fujita Hideo’s family worked hard to clear the wilderness, but the Soviets are lying in wait for an invasion of Manchuria from the North. Fusako is safely reunited with her husband at the headquarters of the Kwantung Army’s Fifth Training Squadron in Manchuria’s Dahushan. Setsuo also takes good care of his beloved wife, but his position is an instructor to the young soldiers who will eventually carry out suicide attacks. He wonders if he should have summoned her and speaks of these mixed feelings to his commanding officer, Michiba Kazuo, a first lieutenant. Michiba is concerned about Setsuo’s attempts to cherish his wife before the coming showdown on homeland. Fusako learns about life in Manchuria from Michiba’s wife, Etsu. In comparison to the interior, it not only had abundant food such as vegetables and rice, but also no air raids. Fusako’s welcome party and a celebratory party for an engaged couple, Setsuo’s colleague, Yuasa Tetsuo, and Inoue Hana, is held at night. Nishimura Tsuyoshi, Koguma Isamu, Kinoshita Tatsuo and other instructors drink together and the young soldiers simply stuff themselves with the food of Fusako and others. Fusako is happy to live together with Setsuo for the first time since they married that she seemingly forgets about the war. However, the village near the border where Fujita’s settler community lives, is finally invaded by the Soviet Army. They have to abandon the fields that they had struggled to cultivate and seek refuge in Dahushan. Then, the Kwantung Army also gives orders for sorties at last. Fusako’s peaceful days are about to quickly collapse.

Both shows delve deeply into the theme of unrequited love. In Theory of Love, Third has feelings for his best friend, while in Bad Guy My Boss, Pat struggles with complex feelings toward his boss.

This review my contain spoilers
I made a suggestion that would definitely create a better trauma for you than this. Definitely 100 times better than Mr. Plankton Kdrama. If you like this kind of ending, I definitely recommend you to watch this movie. Also, you will watch the journey of pure love in the movie.

Both deal with the unsuspecting killer...the person who inserts themself into an investigation, the person that people look past as the killer, the person that someone knows is the killer but is halfway protecting them or turning a blind-eye. They are the same because both the main leads that are the likely killers are mentally ill, except one is aware of why they are doing what they are doing, and the other has no memory (if my memory serves me correctly) that they are even killing people.

Both have that slow pacing that you love to hate when it comes to suspenisful , mysterious, who did it dramas. That said, you are going to like this drama.

Guan Wen, known as an “invincible opponent for unreasonable clients”, rose through the ranks in a foreign company. But just before her birthday, Guan Wen was framed by her inferiors and chose the “naked resignation” (without the security of another job). It is said that when you are over thirty and have accumulated a lot of experience, you can choose any career you want.

Born in a scholarly family, Huang Yi Mei grew up carefully sheltered, like a flower in a greenhouse. From a young age, she showed her talents in the arts and thrived after entering the workplace. From there, she meets Zhuang Guo Dong, and they fall in love. However, due to fate, the two are ultimately separated by the pressures of life. After undergoing this tumultuous period of both work and heartbreak, Huang Yi Mei grows and slowly understands the path she wants to take in life. Deciding to further her education, she goes back to school.

Xiang Zhi Jun has three daughters living in different cities: Shanghai, Kunshan, and Suzhou. His eldest daughter, Xiang Qian, is 35 years old and has made significant progress in her career. The middle daughter, Xiang Zhong, is 31 and is actively striving to build her future. The youngest daughter, Xiang Nan, is 26, with a pure and romantic personality. The marriages of all three daughters face setbacks, leading the sisters to support and encourage each other.

It is a story of young men and women born in the 80s and 90s who meet in Beijing. Through their struggles in the metropolis, they hold on to their dreams and experience various tests in life, career, and love.

Unexpected meeting, then living under the same roof due to fate, Lin Yi's this character Lian Dai Wen's dressup is more like Gu Wei Yi! (Put Your Head On My Shoulder Ml character name) Everything feels so similar! PYHOMS was a great drama and now Smile Code, I'm really rooting for this drama!??

- Revenge
- Angst
- Leads have an "Us against the world" dynamic
- Strong FL x Strong ML (FL from DLX is a martial artist while in RftA she is not)
- FLs are no damsels in distress and take control of their life, story and revenge.
- Both leads are smart, cunning and manipulative (similars attract)
- Girlboss x Malewife vibes
- Mature romance with both as eager participants
- Sibling rivalry
- Strangers to allies to lovers (two broken people coming together for a common goal and falling in love)
- Absolutely smitten, devoted, supportive and slightly (adorably) jealous MLs
- One lead is unfavored and bullied within their family while the other lost their family

Hidden identity - rich people pretend to be poor, love develops after marriage, jealous try to destroy the relationship.

Okay, so they are VERY different BUT the sibling dynamic is similiar, with a glass child and a disabled (autistic) sibling/cousin.

Basically, a sibling with a disabilty makes another sibling appear invisble to their caretakers. In other words, the disabled sibling's probems make the abled sibling's problems appear insignificant, which prompts the parent to 'look through' the glass child, instead of seeing them for who they are: a person /child with needs, problems, and mental health of their own.

This often results in unrealistic expectations, where the glass child is made a (secondary) caretaker of another child. In both dramas the glass child is younger and they love their sibling dearly but also can't help feel resentment for the needs that weren't/aren't met because of the space taken up by the disabled sibling and their problems.

It's often tragic because the ressources are few and the disabled child takes up most of them -- and the caretakers believe that the abled sibling is better off than their sibling, and thus are 'strong enough' to handle the neglect. The whole situation stems from love (and faith in the glass child's mental strength) and yet the glass child often feels either unloved, underappreciated, or invisble -- or all of the above. And they feel guilty for their resentment towards the situation because it isn't anyone's fault, it just is. The caretakers are trying their best, the disabled sibling is often unaware, and the whole thing just sucks all around.

The struggle is real and both dramas portray it well.

Both are fantasy romance chinese dramas. Main characters team up and go adventures together in both dramas.
