Both series also explore complex, suspenseful storylines with mysterious characters. In Light Shop, a group of strangers are drawn to a light shop, while The Witch revolves around a woman with a unique, mystical aura.
Slow paced, healing, trauma, comforting male protagonist.
I recommend this after watching the first two episodes. The countryside setting matches When The Weather is Fine's vibe. Although perhaps when the story moved on later to Seoul the vibe from the setting would differ.
But I don't think so with the vibes of the story in general. Overall the vibes are quite similar. The female protagonist got hurt by situations and fates, passed away parents, famous for being 'pretty' and 'jinxed'. Meanwhile the male protagonist is well-liked, calm, but comforting to the female protagonist.
