• In LM,LMV- ML is considered a senior in industry, famous and supports the FL along way.
• No Angst, conflict at all (especially LM,LMV)

2 Korean movies with tensions and thrills.
Both deal with the question of how much we share about ourselves on social media, CCTV and how it can put ourselves in danger.

Similarities:
-food/drinks are central to the story
-both use food/beverage as a way for characters to connect and heal
-slow, comforting pace with a slice-of-life feel
-focus on personal growth and emotional healing
-small community and close relationships

highlight:
simple living and appreciating everyday moments
more about internal journeys than big external conflicts

A college-aged BL with a plot revolving around a student who works as a fortune teller. Both shows contain leads in their first roles.

Both have FL who

They are both worth watching purely only for vibes and the stunning visuals but honestly what more do you need

Dong-Man is a characters who’s annoying, talks loudly, gets on his friends nerves, feels worthless and his friends believe that. They don’t see the person who has felt inadequate for 20 years, and is friends with people who’s always successful and have a great support network.
Kim Nak-Su is a man who looks down on his subordinates because he’s also looked down on. He was so afraid to be his own person, he became the rude, and power trip of a boss but deep down he was battling his insecurities of being like his parent, being left behind in a world that was more youth oriented and new faces. A world that’s so merciless it cuts you behind as soon as it’s leeched you dry
The shared rhetoric in this drama is its characterisation. how a character can be made so annoying and hated yet compelling.
