- Both are based on the same storyline: Guy marries beautiful girl. Husband gets called to serve on war. Meanwhile pregnant wife has been waiting for him to return. A plot twist and the story goes on.
- One is a drama adaptation and the other one is a movie.
Set around the same legend of Nak and Mak.
Although the ending is slightly different, it is essentially the same except Nang Nak is like a serious storytelling and Pee Mak goes into the horror-comedy genre.
Nang Nak is the clearest telling of the Mae Nak legend available. It really will help with understanding Nak Rak Mak Maak Maak if you've seen it first.
If you've seen Nang Nak or the other adaptations, Nak Loves Mak is a sweet riff on the legend.
