Dark and depressing. Romance. Female lead struggle with poverty, has an elderly lady in the household. Handicap, prominent male lead,

in both movies there was that sadness feeling , and both of them were cinematically beautiful and calm .

Love story about ML who is blind & FL who is deaf but they found love in each other. I really enjoy melodrama romance movie or dramas.

Love story about ML who is blind & FL who is deaf but they found love in each other. They support & understanding each other I really enjoy melodrama romance movie or dramas.

University student Sorano Kakeru, who carries emotional trauma related to human relationships, notices a woman quietly reading a book alone during one of his classes. One day, Kakeru is forced to attend a class gathering with his dorm roommate, where he meets Fuyutsuki Koharu, a visually impaired woman. She turns out to be the same woman he had seen reading in the classroom.

There, Kakeru learns that Koharu cannot see, and through a series of circumstances, he begins supporting her with her coursework. As Kakeru is exposed to Koharu’s brightness and positive outlook on life, he gradually finds himself drawn to her. Koharu, in turn, becomes attracted to Kakeru for treating her naturally and without special consideration despite her blindness.

Having avoided deep relationships due to a past incident, Kakeru nevertheless decides to help fulfill one item on Koharu’s “things I want to do in life” list, launching fireworks. As he sets out to make her dream come true, Kakeru begins to confront his own fears.

even so the atmosphere in josee is sadder but the story of both of them are sad , there are beautiful nature scenes in both , the cinematography of both of them is so beautiful .

Both have FLs with disabilities who have been living their lives on their own. A chanced meeting with our MLs is where our stories start. Repeated encounters with the MLs wanting to 'help' the FLs, have both the couples falling in love. The leads in both the stories are broken on a certain level, and they find new purpose through their relationships. Both stories see the relationships fade out eventually, and the FLs overcome their disabilities eventually, to different capacities.
However Always is more action/ plot- heavy, whereas Josee is more somber, and quietly philosophical. Also, both stories have Japanese counterparts (Always is the original, whereas Josee is the remake of a japanese movie of the same name)
Ps. It's fun to find similar scenes in both movies! :D

Josee has the same lead actors as the light in your ayes and also has parts where you wonder what is real and what is not. Both deal with disability in one way or another however the light in your ayes is more direct and has an ending that is not up for interpretation.

A small city on the outskirts of Seoul. Young Seok, a university student nearing graduation, comes across a woman in the street who has fallen from her wheelchair and helps her back home. She ends up feeding him a simple meal, and he develops a vague curiosity for this woman who introduces herself as "Josée". From this time on, Young Seok occasionally stops by Josée's house, receiving free meals and getting to know this woman who reads a lot, has a comprehensive knowledge of whiskey and tells him stories which he's not sure are true. Gradually, they come to share an unforgettable love.

Mizuho is a promising rhythmic gymnast, but she is diagnosed with a spinal cord disease and becomes paralyzed from the waist down. She is devastated. With the help of music, Mizuho works toward a new dream.

The female lead on both movie were introverted. Social phobia. Stay to self. Poverty. Live with an older lady. Romace were cute and heartwarming

I found the atmosphere and writing to be quite similar to each other. They're both about people finding solace and happiness in each other and finding their footing in life.

An elementary school teacher named Takano Takayuki who is gradually losing his ability to see tries to hide this fact from his girlfriend Yoko. She eventually discovers the truth and immediately flies home from Mongolia to to comfort him.
