First of all, let me tell you, there is nothing similar between these two, but no matter how many times I watch it, it always takes me here, maybe because of the ugly cry I had in these two series, these two series. Also, I want to tell you guys to understand these two dramas you have to pay attention you can't be biased because of the romantic scene The Forbidden Flower has.

The leading ladies of both dramas face forgotten love and abandoned dreams due to their memory loss. Unmet A Neurosurgeon's Diary is a mystery medical drama with female point of view, and it shows FL's journey to recovery more realistically. But the sentiments and angst of the ML are depicted as beautifully. The storytelling has a different approach, but the visual quality is on par with movies.
