Although Dakara Koya primarily focusses on the mother of the household, Both kazoku game and dakara koya are essentially about the healing of a dysfunctional family- In Dakara Koya, it’s through the mother leaving the family and home while in Kazoku game it’s through the arrival of an eccentric home tutor.
Although Missing is a supernatural mystery genre and TOAO is a melodrama, I found the Duon Village from Missing and the Hospice in TOAO to have similar atmospheres- how almost everyone has a sad story to tell yet find comfort and peace in the village/hospice.
Both SFH and Burning are brilliant psychological thrillers. Both MLs aspire to be writers while struggling in society because of their financial status. Moonjo and Ben are seriously brothers from different mothers too ^^
The dynamics between the leads- older woman/younger man and the no filter personality of the female leads are similar. Even the overall atmosphere of both shows are similar.
Both have similar cinematography and atmosphere and the two involve art galleries too. However, Artificial City focuses on the politics more than Iribito, which focuses on the art more.
I found the atmosphere and writing to be quite similar to each other. They're both about people finding solace and happiness in each other and finding their footing in life.
Both revolve around 2 couples getting entangled due to an affair. Both the female leads are ruthless and will do anything to get their way.
They both have this really eerie and bleak atmosphere. There are also many similar themes such as hypnotism and characters.
Both of them involves the usage of suspicious tapes and a creepy female "ghost". Overall, I'd also say they have pretty similar atmospheres.
Both have an eerie and sinister atmosphere. Both stories are revealed to be much more than what they initially seem to be and have a layered narrative, shifting between the past and the present.
Evasive Inquiry Agency is also a story about people in search of gold. Really humorous and quirky. Hope y'all try this extremely underrated comedy!
Ok so they both have similar posters................. aaand both deal with marriage and infidelity quite elegantly so to speak.
