If I can put it simply, its like seeing a pink and blue drama.
while 30-sai more of a fluffy and bright drama, Utsukare is a deep blue ocean, longing of a boy who see everything as dull through his camera lens. Until a certain person came, the most beautiful person he met. both wrapped in a nice light story ^^

Both dramas are set during the reign of King Gojong. This means that the drama is set during a time when there is such a great transitional change going on in Korea (late 1800s). Korea, a kingdom known for being against the influence of foreigners (except maybe China or Japan) is shown to starting up to open to Western influences in both dramas, thus we see the lead characters use the gun more instead of the traditional swords (though some characters still use swords). We also see how Western influence is impacting the main characters. Example is how both female leads in both dramas got fascinated by the western objects they encounter in the show. We also see some men cutting their traditional long hair to fit to a shorter western hair, plus they also trade their hanboks to western suits. Big difference in setting is that Gunman in Joseon was showrn during Gojong's earlier reign while Mr Sunshine was during his later reign.
The character of Lee Joon Gi in Gunman also has similarities with both the leads in Mr Sunshine. LJG character and Lee Byung Hun's Mr Sunshine character are similar in that they suffered a lot in Joseon before they left for another country. Using an identity from another country (LJG using a fake Japanese identity and LBH becoming a US Soldier captain as US Citizen) and wearing Western clothes, their return to Joseon will lead them to more hardships to overcome before eventually becoming heroes to Joseon people. LJG character also has similarities to Kim Tae Ri character in Mr Sunshine. Both parents died, and both became masked vigilantes who do missions which eventually helped Joseon.
Basically, both dramas are about how people lived, survived, and even become heroes of Joseon in a time of impending change

time travel

Remembrance of Things Past is also about close friendship between the 3 female leads and their struggles with love, work, and daily life. If you enjoy good acting, good story telling, good pacing then you will also love Remembrance of Things Past.
