Trabalho Honesto (2024)

The friendly and judgmental but honest neighborhood, women's friendships, kids' lives, and conservative thinking of the 1992 era make this drama similar to Reply 1988. The cinematography and background music also reminds me of this Korean drama.

Both dramas focused in the 90s

Both about women trying to make it in business.

They both start from scratch and work their way up, making mistakes along the way.

This show more focuses on the journey of one woman instead of 4.

Both have romance but still focused on the growth as women.

Completely different story and atmosphere but there are some similarities:
- Both main characters suffer from injustice and hardships
- Both are poor
- Both are trying to overcome their hardships and start a business
- Both grow up with their single father/mother

Both titles talk about a kind of sexual revolution in the country - while The Naked Director deals with the adult film industry in Japan, A Virtuous Business drama concerns the opening up to sexy underwear and erotic gadgets in South Korea. Both titles are worth your attention!

- The concept is quiet similar
- Only difference is drama is about 90s in a rural village they tries to sell quietly but in movie they selling in modern city where starting they had trouble to sell but soon becomes popular
- I believe its an adaptation or loosely inspired from this movie
