Lighting Up the Stars

人生大事 ‧ Movie ‧ 2022
Both films explore the unexpected bond between an emotionally distant adult and a vulnerable child, using their relationship as the vehicle for healing and personal transformation. If Lighting Up the Stars moved you with its quiet tenderness and found-family warmth, You're So Precious to Me will go even deeper—especially in how it portrays love without language, and the emotional weight of simply choosing to stay.

It's a pretty similar story about a young girl chasing the male lead and then also the male lead being abandoned by his lover. The relationship between them is also so heartwarming; the male lead, from being cold, became warm toward the young girl.

Both films are about emotionally distant men who are forced into caretaking roles—and end up being transformed by the relationships they never saw coming. If My Annoying Brother moved you with its balance of humor, grief, and raw emotion, Lighting Up the Stars hits the same notes with even more tenderness and subtlety. They both explore what it means to show up for someone else when you barely know how to show up for yourself.

Both highlight businesses that deal with the dead or people that have passed which is always a taboo.
Both are “slice-of-life” kinda genres
Recommended by Anoif
Both are different stories, but both deal with life hardships, and both deliver many life lessons. Both dramas show the struggles of the leads to achieve their goals.

Not the same but the male lead in this drama is an event manager who manages lots of events including some funeral events.
Recommended by white17e
This is a similar drama because the male lead in this drama is a funeral make-up artist and does the funeral business.

Although CofaBM has a boy kid lead & LUtS has a girl kid lead both kids express the need to belong to a strong male figure. Neither adult male character is thrilled @ taking on someone else's offspring, but love & acceptance grow. LUtS had me in tears....highly recommend.

Both of the little girls get adopted to a single man who has been through hardships. They both have cute girls as casts. If you liked one, you might like the other as well

Rough around the edges MLs with criminal pasts who turn their lives around because of a girl, "Man in love" is more of a romantic kind of relationship while "Lighting up the stars" is more of a father-daughter relationship , both slice of life dramas with a lot of deaths in them, both are tearjerkers...and they also have a similar vibe.

Both talk about funerary services, and generally the stories of people who live on as someone else passes away, and the relationships and dynamics in-between.
Recommended by Peony
Although the story plots differ greatly both have the the same heartwarming as well as heartbreaking plots where two characters get to each other and help heal each other's wounds.

Actor Zhu yi long acted in both movies.

Both movies are interesting to watch, though one is an emotional family drama n the other is a thriller (related to family)
Recommended by AigooMyLengthyParagraphs
Both dramas deal around an adult that is looking after a small girl. Both dramas have family, finding family and growing on one another as themes. Both are wonderful, heart warming dramas.
Recommended by Lou
Both are very good movie. Both has to do with treating dead body with dignity. Gave the living family and loveone a comfort and closure. Story not exactly the same, they are both beautiful in their own way
