Chocolate (2019)

• Food drama!
• Both are tagged as melodrama and romance
• Focus on backstories
• In Chocolate chocolate is an important theme and has a meaning in the story, in How Are You Bread the bread also has a deeper meaning
• Cute, funny and also heart wrenching chemistry between the leads
• Similar aesthetics, the scenery and the shots of the food are pretty!

In both the main theme is love and death and deep questions about life. They are deeply sad and touching dramas. Both are written by Lee Kyung Hee.

Both are written by Lee Kyung Hee and both have outstanding script! In both female protagonist has her own recipe for living to be good, generous, kind and sacrificial. Both drama present real life.

Both have tear-jerking moments. Mystic pop-up bar and Chocolate also have very very very slow romances among the primary leads but you know it's there. I loved both of them tho although i feel Pop-up Bar had a better ending.

Similar vibes, slow and "sad". Also the same "accident". In "chocolate" characters were not a couple before as in "when my love blooms" but there are also time gaps. Both are melodrama. Both have flashbacks.

Written by the same writer, both feature tragic long-term lost loves and main characters who are complex and sometimes dishonest.

Both are romantic medical dramas dealing with comforting people in pain and during the end stages of their lives. In both dramas, the male and female leads have experienced life-altering tragic events, which they feel guilt-ridden about. Both male leads have a nemesis who is hell-bent on destroying them do to misplaced anger and beliefs.

Both will make you realize how short and beautiful this life we have. Tearjerker but in a good way. I had grown a big interest in cooking influenced by both dramas!
Live your life before it slips through your fingers!

Both have settings in the countryside. Similar vibes and slow-burn romance.
Hometown Cha-Cha-Cha has a more comedic tone than Chocolate which is more melodrama.

Tragic past of ML

The story of a man who became a neurosurgeon, though he dreamed of becoming a cook, and a woman who became a cook because of him.

Lee Kang is a neurosurgeon who once dreamed of becoming a chef. As a child, Moon Cha Young once met Lee Kang at a small restaurant in the seaside town. There, Lee Kang cooked and gave her a meal, which in part inspired her to become a world-famous chef. Many years later, the two meet again at a hospice ward, and together, they heal their own emotional scars by preparing meals for the patients there.

Both dramas used food as means of healing. In 'Chocolate' food is used to heal and to connect between the two leads. In 'The Witch's Diner', food is used to grant wishes for the client. That is where the similarities end. Watch TWD if you want to watch food related Kdrama.

Similar vibes, slow and "sad". In "chocolate" characters were not a couple before as in "BOL" but there are also time gaps. Both are melodrama. Both have flashbacks.

There's not much plot similarity, but the two dramas are closer in terms of their "vibes" (especially with how they combine food and healing, and with the warmth in their "patient stories"). In Unmet, both the episodic stories and the major plotline have been given a more delicate, realistic (and yet, more optimistic) treatment with beautiful storytelling. In my opinion, Unmet is not so much a mystery as it is a human drama/ romance (and a VERY GOOD one at that). I hope this helps anyone interested in watching Unmet with what to expect from it.
