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.


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.







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.
