If Chicago Typewriter made you ache for lives half-remembered and debts unpaid, Tomorrow With You brings the same haunting — but through time itself.

Both stories ache for lives unlived, love almost missed, and the stubborn belief that maybe, just maybe, we can still change the ending.

If you believe memory and love are never wasted, I keep their echoes safe on my profile.

The dramas have the same writer. They involve books and the Japanese occupation of Korea...

Both of the drama related to the present and the past. Chicago Typewriter depicts three resistance fighters who lived during the 1930s Japanese occupation of Korea and are reincarnated into the present as a best-selling writer in a slump, a fan, and a ghostwriter while Night Wanderer is about a female forensic doctor from the modern era who met a mystery guy from 1937 Republican era who claimed to come to the modern era every night and return to his era the next morning.

Snowdrop gives me the same feels as Chicago typewriter. Here both of the stories are set in olden times, with a movement or revolution going around. Chicago typewriter is set in I guess a bit more older time period than Snowdrop.

In both the female lead falls first for the male lead. (Unrequited love alert)
In addition to this, Chicago Typewriter involves reincarnation too. The Osts of both the dramas are top notched as well as the acting. Chicago typewriter starts out a bit slow at first, but slowly and slowly it gets better and better and would give you magical feels until the end.

Definitely recommended.

Both dramas have a fantasy aspect. In Chicago Typewriter, the way the drama switches back and forth from present- day to the 1930s is similar to how W switches between the real world and manhwa world.

Both mystery dramas deal with objects that allow the protagonists to "time travel". In both dramas their is a main couple that is somehow intertwined with each ever time.

Zhang Jing Yi is the FL in both. The chemistry is natural. The relationship had depth. However, BEITD does not have a satisfactory ending.

Both dramas involve a supernatural/ fantasy aspect. There is a ghost in Chicago Typewriter and demons/ deities/ spirits in A Korean Odyssey. There are also a few scenes of the Japanese occupation in A Korean Odyssey. Both dramas also have a similar feeling and tone when you watch them.

Both shows have reincarnation theme. In chicago typewriter ml and fl were reincarnated and in tale of the nine tailed fl was reincarnated

These dramas have the main characters being reincarnated from the past, meet in the next life. Their undying love and morale is beautifully written and directed. Finally, they'll probably remember their past lives.

Both dramas show the story of resistance fighters in Korea in the 20th century and do a pretty good job at that.

-similar plot about reincarnations and meeting people from your past lives
-romantic plot is more fleshed out in CT
-Bulgasal is a more slow burn mystery of the past than Chicago typewriter, but CT also has a mystery of the past the characters are tying to unveil
-bulgasal is more fleshed out in the fantasy aspect
-CT has similar wholesome character relationships like Bulgasal, but in CT they're more friends based than the found family troupe in BIS
-angsty, aesthetic and bittersweet. The osts in both are amazing, acting and cast and cinematography are great in both.
-Both of them are different in terms of setting and time line, CT is more political and set in 1930s Japanese occupied Korea.

CT has a author of mystery writing his next novel which are things that happened to his last reincarnation. But as he writes he gets to know what actually happened to them.
L,H has a screenwriter who's writings turn true in this life itself.
Both have mystery as strong element to the story.
Both have rich male lead and poor female leads.

While Chicago Typewriter is more historical fiction and Circle is sci-fi, both shows present two stories in one (in Chicago Typewriter it is past and present day, while Circle is present day and future).
In both shows, there is a mystery that happened in the past that the future is trying to figure out. And in both, the viewer is (for the most part) unsure what exactly happened in the past, and everybody's role in it, until it gets revealed.
They both also play with memories.

However, they are still different as they are in different genres and there is a larger time gap in Chicago Typewriter than in Circle. The sequences are not as ordered in Chicago Typewriter as they are in Circle, however the transitions are incredibly smooth.

Bonuses:
- I really liked both the female leads
- Great acting
- The bromances ^.^
