- both dramas are located at seaside town
- male lead moves to the seaside town to stay away from scandals (top star yoo baek) ; female lead moves to seaside town after going through a series of trouble
- the vibe are somewhat similar as it brings that comfort feeling
- romance between the leads and the side characters
- a story of friendship
- female lead is a diver (top star yoo baek) ; han ji min's character is also a diver
- a cold hearted male lead paired up with a bright/warm hearted female lead

- The plot is not similar but it gives the countryside vibes
- In both dramas shows the life of people around a countryside village
- How they live & help each other

Same theme of country folk who care for each other like family. It can be sometimes annoying when everyone else is in your business but you realise later they also genuinely care for each other.

Both are about family and life's hardships. The sacrifices families have to make to survive in this world.

Both are anthologies. Both have characters and plots and overlap. Both are heartfelt and bittersweet.

Both dramas focus on each character's individual lives, portraying their struggles and emotions beautifully. In the way in which the characters of Reply 1988 live together, rely on each other and cry together; the characters of our blues reside on Jeju island and their various occupations are intertwined. I'll go as far as to say the occupations depend on each other.

For the folksy vibe. Like Our Blues, both focus initially on the negative points of living in a rural village e.g. everyone is in everyone else's business but they later band together to help each other.

both have: (from most to least overlapping)

- teenage/young pregnancy
- depression with mothers
- father breadwinners
- estranged family relations on both sides (mother and father to-be)
- discrimination at school due to pregnancy news
- cheating/love triangles among the older characters

Ordinary people struggle to face reality. Problem & conflict come along human life. Can we freely choose between happiness & misery?
