Both dramas feature MLs who met when they were younger AKA Second Chance Romance. Their younger selves are acted by different actors, and the dramas alter between past and present.

Renai Rubi no Tadashii Furikata and Love Is Better the Second Time Around are similar in that both stories involve protagonists who reconnect with a past significant figure after a period of separation, with the relationship starting unexpectedly and involving complicated emotional dynamics, though Renai Rubi no Tadashii Furikata features a revenge plot, while Love Is Better the Second Time Around focuses on a happy ending after reconciliation.

Workplace romance with balancing storyline.
Tough and professional male lead and female is opposite.

- both are terrorist/hostage situations
- both movies have main character ha jungwoo (love this actor)
- high tension/thriller; though the terror live has more outside entities involved (the government) while hijack 1971 focuses on the crew, the hijacker, and the passengers

- both stories are based off of real-life events
- emphasis on the politics surrounding these events; for 1971, it was north/south korea relations and 1987 was based off the gwangju uprising leading to the june democracy movement
- heartbreaking. you will need tissues
- character-driven stories. the writer and director cleverly rely on the people and their decisions, who are the highlight of these events
