Kinda surprised no one recommended Late Autumn (2011) earlier... Both stories are completely different, but there are some similarities here and there.
Similarities
-same actress stars in both films
-(spoiler) forbidden relationship between a criminal, and an average guy
-there is a melancholic atmosphere in both films, and will make you sad/cry by the end
-(spoiler)both female leads are suspected/convicted of manslaughter
-both are tragedies in different ways
Differences
-the female lead in Late Autumn (2011) is clearly a good person just placed in unfortunate circumstances, while the female lead in Decision to Leave (2022) is more nefarious, and manipulative... It is clear that she is NOT to be trusted at all in that film.
- there is more of a mystery in Decision to Leave (2022) than Late Autumn (2011) about the female lead's character
-Late Autumn (2011) is more of a hopeful story than Decision to Leave (2022)... That could be my opinion tho

Korean man & Japanese woman or Korean man & Chinese woman love story. I really like drama or movie collaboration between two or many countries. Recently I watched so many collaboration drama & movie which is unique & different languages. Both of this dramas is different story line but still interesting too much. Two couples from different countries chemistry worth watching.
