Snowdrop (2021)

- it's about the democratic movement and struggle of Korean people for the freedom
- A Taxi Driver is about a true story, but Snowdrop is a fiction
- Both sets on the time of Fifth Republic of Korea

- the events are on the same year
- both sad but instructive
- I recommend the movie to everybody who interested in Korean history and would like to understand the background of the series

* Both shows are historical, political dramas with some romance. (I would say Snowdrop is 50% romantic melodrama + 50% political thriller. Whereas The Rebel focuses more on the war, espionage and politics (65%), but the 35% of the romance is muuuch more powerful, evident and dramatic; and the leads have better chemistry!)

* Both shows depict the struggle for power between two opposing parties (Snowdrop takes place during SK presidential elections, while The Rebel takes place during China's Civil War).

* Forbidden romance trope: in Snowdrop we have the SK National Intelligence director's daughter and a NK spy that is holding her captive; in The Rebel the FL is an underground communist that is targeted by the ML (a secret agent of the nationalist party).

* FLs are students with somewhat powerful fathers, while the MLs are agents/spies.

* Both MLs have doubts / change their political views, because of the FLs. And all they want to do is protect the FLs.

* I just find the vibe of these two shows similar - I really recommend watching The Rebel (for the plot, the visuals and the romance).

Both has North and South Korean. One is romantic drama, the other one is comedy movie. Both shown the NK always nervous, heavily rely on gun, very defensive,

A tragic and unsatisfactory ending.Full of thrillers.Both are heart touching. Anyone would fine similarity Between these two.

Although 'Snowdrop' and 'Imitation' are very different in terms of genres, I would still like to recommend 'Snowdrop'. 'Snowdrop' has an idol actor named Kim Jisoo who will be acting for the first time in a lead role. Just like Jisoo, idol actor Jeong Yunho will also be acting for the first time in a lead role.

In both series Male leads are working for secret agency

The hero and heroine meet eachother anonymously and fell in love with eachother at first sight.

The female lead doesn't know the identity of the guy and get to know about it later

Guy tells heroine his real name and starts trusting her only

For protecting his love ML tries to get away from the FL

Main lead is executing mission which is quite dangerous

Both Main leads are goodlooking and have an amazing chemistry with their Female leads.

Both have similar kinda vibes where Male lead have deadly experiences and get shot.

If you love Snowdrop you will definitely like Mysterous Love. Go for it, thank me later ;)

- both carry the theme of North Korea and South Korea
- contains the theme of the president in south korea
- The relationship between the main characters in these two dramas is the same at first, they
have a sweet relationship, and in the middle they experience a heavy conflict

The FL is smart, hardworking,loyal and the most misunderstood character like SoHoo and she is so much protective of the ML who is innocent,soft,sensitive and gentle like Youngro who doesn’t know that she’ protecting him like an angel all the time….

It’s rare to find such type of …..Role reversal dramas

Youngro is homologous to ML in my mister and
Sohoo is homologous to FL

They both protect their loved ones till their last breath

You feel similar type of angst too

But both these dramas have completely different backdrops

- there is a political conspiracy in both drama
- there are lot of violent death
- it's more thriller and romance

They somehow share some similarities as both shows are involved with hostage-taking situation which took the part of thickening their plot. A lot of conflicts also take place in the setting that entail each of the characters' roles/stories in surviving every day they went through.

Both stories - female leads are college student, young, beautiful, innocent, kind,
Both has male leads that is a spy, or from enemy side.
Both have romance, but they are playing a danger relationship

- both drama set in the 1980s South Korea
- Park Sungwoong is starring in both drama
- both drama is black comedy

Snowdrop gives me the same feels as Chicago typewriter. Here both of the stories are set in olden times, with a movement or revolution going around. Chicago typewriter is set in I guess a bit more older time period than Snowdrop.

In both the female lead falls first for the male lead. (Unrequited love alert)
In addition to this, Chicago Typewriter involves reincarnation too. The Osts of both the dramas are top notched as well as the acting. Chicago typewriter starts out a bit slow at first, but slowly and slowly it gets better and better and would give you magical feels until the end.

Definitely recommended.

Guys I was unable to tag Lootera(2013) so that's why I am tagging the last leaf from which it was inspired by

Lootera was bollywood movie with a similar kind of beautiful love story. You should definitely watch with english subtitles on. If you love Snowdrop.

In both the Female lead help the injured Male lead.

Female lead gets involved with Male lead emotionally and falls in love without knowing his intentions.

Male lead hides his real identity and a lot of secrets.

Male lead goes away leaving the Female lead behind as he was basically performing a mission and have other goals (In Snowdrop main lead was a spy from NK and had a mission to execute related to Professor Han whereas in Lootera the main lead had a plan to steal something from her father).

Male lead also falls in love with Female lead hard and have a guilt that they are harming her.

The villain and people surrounding them convinces the hero to leave the female lead and focus on the mission instead. Because they can't live with her.

Both Male leads are chased by police and female lead hides them at their place.

Lootera and Snowdrop both have historical backgrounds.
