Both are tragic romance movies about two people with dead friends.................................................

Both are tragic romance movies about two people with dead friends.............. Both are based on famous manga.

I agree with others in that both have the same overall feeling. They have dark and desperate feelings and concepts to them. I think both of these dramas do something that others don't: they show and don't tell. What i mean by that is that they don't have to verbally explain everything, you get a lot of information by the settings, the acting, the silence, etc. Both dramas have deep and complex stories,characters, and feelings that are presented in beautiful ways.

Both dramas offer a glimpse into the legal world from the point of view of inexperienced judges with a particular sense of justice.

Both are horror about vengeance of Onryo....................................................................

Both Chinese Dramas have....
• The same actress playing the FL
• The FL goes from innocent and sweet to deadly and guarded.
• The ML is supportive of the FL and is constantly by her side.
• The SML is pretty villainous and has schemes of his own. Also rather jealous of the ML.

This is a also a Japanese Drama set in high school which tackles similar themes to Switched and so much more. It deals with the dark reality of today's high schools and what it is like to be in one. Quite serious and psychological but also quite meaningful in the sense of what it is trying to portray even though it can be over the top in some areas sometimes.

Both are famous cop movie series..............................................................................

Both are about developing a robot.....................................................................................

Turbulent times. The modern and the old coexisting and clashing. Old ways and old customs are portrayed in a way that make them look strange and exotic.

Both dramas are very different from anything you expect from regular sageuks. They are visually very different and the characters are portrayed in a unique way to sageuks.

Both are about romance between a Korean exchange student & a Japanese girl................................................................

Strong, impressive female leads.

Heroes who want to use heroine for revenge... but are so terribly bad at this revenge stuff because they are so much in love with her to hurt her. Re Rerng Fai is more of a revenge drama than Lying Heart. In Lying Heart, he never remembers the revenge until someone reminds him, then he forgets 2 seconds later. RRF is the more intense drama, but he also loves her more than his revenge.

No rape in either, just lots of chemistry and consensual bed scenes.

Both have easily forgiving heroines. Both have happy endings.

Lying Heart is more comedic and sweet than a revenge drama. RRF has so much sweet scenes, I'm surprised I didn't drown in a vat of sugar. RRf is more a slap kiss than Lying Heart, though in both (LH especially) there was really no slapping lol, just kissing.
