Little Forest: Summer & Autumn (2014)

Both of these mellow productions focus on one female main character who lives humbly and enjoys the small things in life as she works on making food after a long day.

While the Korean version stole my heart, the original Japanese version of Little forest was also a great watch. It keeps the peaceful feeling of the Korean version but with more time to flesh out the characters and the story. It is also interesting to see how the recipes differ.

Both movies are about simple life in rural Japan. Both are based on famous manga. Both movies are very similar.

First part of the Little Forest duology, which has a Korean remake, which also appeared in the recommendations. Just like Summer Strike, Little Forest (Summer/Autumn and Winter/Spring) talks about a young woman who finds herself worn out by life in the city and goes to the countryside to rethink her life.

Similarity about the story: Both will give the healing feeling and about finding yourself and how to enjoy life with you friends or just your own company.
Similarity about the settings: The soothing and calming scenes of the countryside. Plus some parts of I, Myself was filmed in Japan.

healing slice-of-life stories set in the countryside with cinematic cooking and eating scene. hashimoto ai and matsuoka mayu stars in both projects.

Both movies have a serene, slice-of-life theme with strong female characters and beautiful Japanese scenery, with the depiction of little wonders and obstacles of the everyday lives.
