Both are food-centered dramas that feature yummy looking scenes of cooking.

Blind was a perfect mystery that fit every one of my wants. The biggest difference between FOE and blind is FOE has more of a romance aspect. The romance in it makes it just right for me and I got reminded of blind a lot while watching it. Finding out the culprits feels so unexpected leaving you guessing at the end of every episode making you want more. There are still many differences that separate the two incredibly, but they both have a unique feeling to them that leaves you in awe at the end.

· Same director (Koreeda Hirokazu)
· Focus on abandoned people
· Found families
· Child abandonment

If for some reason you're looking for very dark dramas with revenge plots, I believe King of Pigs and A Christmas Carol have it. These two are similar as they deal with: hardcore bullying, s*xual assault, and other violent themes.

Aside from the aforementioned, both contain a revenge story. Whilst Kyung-min avenges his lost childhood in the King of Pigs, Il-Woo attempts to try and fight for his brother's death in A Christmas Carol.

Both have characters with mental disabilities, though they differ.

I believe these two films should have warnings of their own as they're both mentally torturing to watch, and are embedded in your head forever. I highly advise that you take precautions and only watch either one of them if you're truly mentally capable, as I had nightmares after finishing King of Pigs.

Japanese action packed film. Full of fighting and conflict, it's an amazing movie franchise with multiple characters that all want to just protect who they love.

Based in the Joseon era of Korea, it's historical and full of action and fighting just like this movie.

Both have very withdrawn FLs who slowly gain confidence over the course of the story, and more extroverted MLs.

Both FLs are very shy, reclusive, and have past trauma. MLs are more outgoing and slowly coax the FL out of her home/shell.

Both of these short films center around a male lead who has recently lost his sight, and his romance with the female lead who helps him come to terms with his new life.

Both of these short films of unrequited love center around longtime friends who undergo a quest of sorts to make their wishes come true.

Both of these titles, starring Erek Lin, explore a character struggling with how their gender identity may impact their long-standing friendships. Both titles also utilize origami star wishes to inform viewers about feelings that aren't explicitly stated.

While very different in premise and representation, both of these romance films focus on characters who aren't frequently discussed in media. Both of whom come to explore the world through their camera lens.

Both of these films are highly interpretative, with prominent themes of death and notable cinematography. However, How To Die Young in Manila is interpretative in a metaphoric social commentary sense, while Vision is interpretative in a mysticism way.

The execution is a lot similar where it comes to revenge, except for ML seducing two sisters in Game Ruk Payabath.

In both lakhorns ML´s deceptive actions creates severe consuquences that will haunt him for life. Even at the expense of his life. Both being trainwrecks, and still having a depressing feel to them. The ending is a sad one in both lakhorns.

Rain is really good in this drama. He's definitely not the same type of character as in a love to kill but I really liked his comedic antics with the other characters. I'm glad I found this drama because it's never mentioned anywhere.
