49 Days

49일 ‧ Drama ‧ 2011
Both Dramas teach great lessons about life:
Through 49 Days I learned about fate, about trust and about betrayal. Incarnation of Money made me think about how powerful money is: It can kill a person, make another sad and make someone else pretty.

Kenta, a young pianist who has just lost his job, is drowning his woes at a bar when he meets a man in a Hawaiian shirt named Yamaki. He invites Kenta to work with him, and the next thing he knows, Kenta wakes up to find himself in a room he has never been in before. It is a strange room that seems to have no connection to life. He descends a staircase to find many shelves of books. Yamaki appears once again and tells him that this is Heaven's Book Service, and Kenta is going to start working a short-term, part-time job here. In addition to selling books, this bookstore, owned by Yamaki, provides a service of reading aloud to customers. Although he is unsure of his new surroundings, Kenta follows their actions and starts to work in his new part-time job.

Both FLs have their days numbered and both MLs have this type of 'scheduler/ neither human nor god' role. Both stories tackle the meaning of life and how to make the best use of your numbered days.

Grim Reaper story. Kaneshiro Takeshi & Konishi Manami stars in this movie. A light time travel story with Grim Reaper who can go from doors to doors.

Shin Ji Hyun was enjoying absolute bliss as she was about to marry her fiancé, Kang Min Ho, but her perfect life is shattered when she gets into a car accident that leaves her in a coma. She is given a second chance at life by a person called The Scheduler, but it comes with a condition: she has to find three people outside of her family who would cry genuine tears for her. In order to do this, she borrows the body of Yi Kyung, a part-time employee at a convenience store for 49 days.

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

All the gods will be leaving before the last rain of doomsday. However, an ordinary human girl unexpectedly puts a dent in their plans to retreat thus causing the world to move towards the unknown. Based on the animistic mythology of the Amis tribe, the gods are no longer willing to bless the land that is plagued with environmental issues. One by one, the gods depart the world they once loved. A human girl discovers that the opportunity to reverse her destiny lies within herself and her guardian. Before the final day of judgment, a love story between human and god unfolds.

Just like 49 Days, the main theme surrounding Rooftop Prince involved scheming, greed and theft of property/money.

Both shows focuses on the struggle of the MC in terms of finding out that the people closest to them were the ones who hated them the most. However, they each don't find it out directly as themselves.

I think it's really enjoyable just as 49 Days and it both captures the theme powerfully in a sense.

Both dramas are really different because one is comedy and the other is melodrama but the stories are similar.
Both lead characters fight for their life and have a mission.

Both series emphasize on having limited days ... in 49 days, it is conditional though. If the person in coma can overcome a problem, she can continue living.

Both have someone with either near death experience or actually death and both find out things they didn't know before they were dead.

Both stories are a tearjerker. But they remind you of the value of life and love and leave you something to reflect on after watching.
