Easy watch Rom-Coms
But Sincere and Meaningful
Romance develops slowly and beautifully
Non-Childish themes
Gentle and Healing
Both dramas are something to Cherish and adore
Captivating. You wish it never ends

Both are classic nostalgia kdramas

A man (one from the countryside and one from the past) meets a hard-working woman living in the city. She teaches him the way of the city and ‘civilization’.

And they grow on each other, beautifully.

Romance aside, each drama has its own very unique plot. They have some similarities too.

A country girl that moves to the city, and a guy who first doesn't like her falls in love
Beautiful and heartwarming refreshing dramas

When you watch these dramas you should know you are in for a
Cruel ride
Painful romance
Rough life
Great music that digs deeper into your wound

So prepare your hearts

About a man that makes a big lie about himself because of personal greed/ something he wants. And he falls in love because of that lie.

A romance melodrama.

They have the romantic old/classic drama vibe.

Han Ji Hye stars in both, but she’s the main FL in Cloud Stairs.

Part of the stories is similar

They both have pure romance... Not romance based on bluntly expressed lust and physical attraction like most dramas.

Of course some beautiful melodrama too. Beautiful sincere feelings..

And there is a slight similarity in the stories.

Female lead with lost parents.
Multiple younger and older cute couples everywhere!
OSTs have the same vibe.

They are both told around funny and precious families.
Also let's just say the love lines have some similarities.

Family dramas. They give a similar feeling. Also there is who keeps a secret in order to protect the one they love.

For life-romance-melodrama lovers.
A pitiful man, wounded by life.
FL in a similar situation where she has a bright future in front of her but she is in love with a man that is retarded in the eyes of society, and he loves her earnestly.
Well-written, well-directed, good music, good side characters...
and GREAT acting.

Love in Sadness music vibe is present in Bad Guy (and vice versa).
Melodramas with some suspense.
A fight with those in power. And falling in love during the fight.
Hidden identities. Lies. Pitiful.
Love in sadness is less painful, however.
Bad Guy is way more intense.
