Recommendations are more than similarities between 2 dramas..
At 1st glance they share nothing in common but manwol is kinda similar to hina from mr sunshine. They both own a hotel, they have a similar taste in fashion and they are both strong female worriers though hina is slightly more "playful"..
If you loved and missed hina then this is a great drama~
Also both are really aesthetically appealing..

You may want to take this recommendation with a grain of salt, because even I have to admit this may be a stretch. There are few clear similarities between these dramas in terms of story, relationships, or characters, but I finished rewatching Mr. Sunshine while Our Movie was airing and somehow I just felt there was some kinship there. I can’t quite put my finger on what it is. Probably the classic melodrama elements? Perhaps the rather reserved older MLs? Both are quite artfully made, though in somewhat different ways (for example, Mr. Sunshine uses visual motifs while Our Movie seamlessly edits in flashbacks and movie sequences). I think the writing also has some similarities—the scripts are not necessarily thematically profound but they can be somewhat poetic with foreshadowing or lines that make subtle call backs to earlier scenes. The stories have emotional poignancy and an old-fashioned romanticism.




It is a Joseon-period historical drama. I would love for this show to be picked up by Netflix so that I could watch it with English subtitles. I love other Korean historical dramas, e.g., Mr. Sunshine, Mr. Queen, The King's Affection, and Rookie Historian! More, please! I am an English-speaking US citizen hooked on South Korean TV shows. I am learning a little bit about the Korean language, culture, and history as I watch.
