The Rose

Female lead is the same actress

The girl gets adopted into an abusive family, something like a Cinderella story, except that the Rose is a bit more freaky.

Hirai Miyuki is a terminally ill girl, who dreams of going to Finland to see the northern lights, and falls in love with an orphan boy Watabiki Yusuke, whom she had formed a contract relationship with.

Both have incest/taboo relationship.

90 Days of Love the main leads are cousins; while the Rose, there is half-siblings.

Both are very melodramatic, and I personally like The Rose better, but both are good for what they are.

Both have Ella Chan as a lead. Both are very different in tone. Hana Kimi is over-the-top comedy, kind of like popcorn entertainment. While The Rose is a melodramatic romance. Both are based on a manga.
But these two specifically shows her range as an actress. She also sings one song in the OST of each show with her group S.H,E., at the time.
