Highly anticipated reunion of Zhao Liying and Lin Gengxin. Both playing leads once again and as love interests.

A marriage gone cold, with both sides slowly finding love again. Both have rich FL and poor ML. Both contain romantic comedy elements.

One film is based on the coup d'etat carried out by dictator Chun Doo-hwan which puts him in power, while the other captures the Gwangju Uprising and massacre of the protestors one year later, which Chun is notoriously responsible for.

Both starring Andy Lau as low-level gangster. Bad boy with a soft heart.
Story involves him struggling to find balance between his relationship and mafia life.

I want to make a correction to the below recommendation that Chicago Typewriter is NOT set during the Joseon period, but during Korea under Japanese rule, while Mr. Sunshine is set right before that, during the brief awkward period between Joseon and Japanese rule (called the Korean Empire 1897-1910).

Prequel and sequel, and both starring Hu Ge as the main lead. Both are considered classics in chinese dramas.

Slow burn art films. Creates romance not out of overt displays of affection but rather through implication and omission.
