Sonhos Diferentes (2019)

Very similar dramas that focus on the same time period. Mr Sunshine is kind of a precursor to different dreams, It shows the beginning of Japan's take over whereas different dreams is when japan has a lot of control in Korea. Freedom fighters for both dramas, amazing actors and chemistry.

both are set in the same period, strong female lead, militant

The director of the drama is the same (Yoon Sang Ho) only the set up is set on 1930s of South Korea. Some actors like Lee Hae Young (his breakthrough performance), Kim Bup Rae are also in the drama. This is the Independence Commemorative Drama of Korea back in 2019 starring award winning actors Lee Yo Won, Yoo Ji Tae, Im Ju Hwan and Nam Gyu Ri. The genre is an espionage period drama, with a slice of romance and family drama. The action scenes are heart-stopping that by watching it, it feels like you're there also.

Please take time to watch the drama and see for yourself why I rated this 10, my second all time favorite kdrama, Lee Hae Young became one of my favorite actors and lastly, why I'm obsessed by the PD's period dramas.

'Lost in 1949' is about the Chinese Communist Revolution whereas 'Different Dreams' is about the Korean Revolution Movement. Both of these dramas are set in 19th Century and are of historical, romance genre and have espionage tag.

Hope you enjoy!

They are historical shows about people who fought for the Korean independence during the XXth century. Espionage, patriotism and politics.

Even if the historical setting is different, both deal with politics, espionage and medical stuff. Different Dreams is about the Korean independence, while Doctor Stranger is about the relationship between North Korea and South Korea.

Both 'Different Dreams' and 'Assassination' are set in the same time period of Japanese occupation in Korea, and both feature historically real-life independence activists Kim Wonbong of the Heroic Corps, and Kim Gu of the Korean Provisional Government.

While 'Different Dreams' focusses more heavily on Kim Wonbong's own activities, his character in 'Assassination' is more of a planner and organizer.

'Different Dreams' is primarily set between 1931-1933, whereas 'Assassination' is primarily set after 1933. Both show the struggle and the divide amongst the Korean people, between those who are independence activists and those who are pro-Japanese.

Both dramas take place during Japan's emperial rule over Korea, and are packed with intrigue, humanity, sacrifice and love. Different Dreams is set in the 1920s, while Gaksital is set in the 1930s.
