Both Female Leads are writers and kind of have a bold character, while both ML are hardworking and have a similar personality towards the FL.

These two dramas aren't similar if you do not consider the romance and some character aspects.

They each share a sense of melancholy, as two people find liberation in each other from their circumstances, with an outspoken FL, and a more sensitive, burdened father ML. Both are in the slice of life genre, featuring more mature characters and stories.

They both make you feel like you're taking an intimate stroll through South Korean backstreets.

Lonely people trapped in their circumstances, finding love with a spring backdrop define both of these.

The subtlety and intentionality in direction, the framing, and in acting as feelings unfold between the leads feels reminiscent in each.

The FL is also bold and outspoken in comparison to a more subdued and reserved ML in both.

Both "May-December-January" and "Metamorphosis" are outstanding Filipino movies. What they have in common is the brilliant acting of Gold Aceron, who plays an intersex person in the latter, and a gay boy who suffers from a heart disease in the former. In both movies the other actors are very good, too, and both movies tell interesting, unique stories and have a good cinematography.
