Be with You (2004)

Original japanese adaptation. Didnt have the strength to watch it then after the manga made me weep so much

It's actually subtle and not everyone will be able to notice or agree to the similarities. To me, both gave off the same feeling about bonds or forces that brings love to conquer some third dimension.

Very similar premise. A young mom passes away, leaving behind her husband and young child. However, she comes back but only a short period of time.

Satsuki's lover Hitoshi dies suddenly. She is unable to get over his death and is mired in deep sadness. Satsuki keeps thinking about the moon shadow phenomenon, which she heard about in the past. The moon shadow phenomenon is a mysterious event that allows a person to meet the dead at the end of a full moon

In order to stop his classmates from bullying him, the protagonist, Kamiya Tooru, makes a false confession to a girl in his class, Hino Maori. Even though she knows that the confession is a lie, Maori says yes with the three rules: "Don't talk to me until after school," "Keep communication brief," and "Don't fall in love with each other". The two promise not to fall in love, but as they get to know each other, they find themselves drawn to each other. When Tooru finally couldn't hold back his feelings, Maori's words were unexpected.

"I have an anterograde amnesia, and I forget things when I sleep at night. Everything that's happened in a day". Her memories and experiences were reset every day, and she wrote down the day's events in a diary and woke up early in the morning to review them in order to keep her memory alive. Tooru is devoted to bringing her as much happiness as possible. However, such daily life did not last long. What is the "plan" that Tooru has devised to protect Maori's happiness? The raging climax and the fragile tenderness will wrap the world in warm tears once again.

both are taken from the Japanese book "Ima, ai ni yukimasu". and every version in his way is very sweet.

A summer hit in HK, this romantic fantasy from Jingle Ma is shamelessly manipulative, incredibly cheesy, and totally sappy. It goes to extreme lengths to yank your chains and push your buttons...and it works. Amazingly, this manufactured piece of sap is also an entertaining, compelling movie. An HK version of Ghost and Always, Fly Me to Polaris stars Richie Ren as Onion, a blind-mute who’s in love with his nurse Autumn (Cecilia Cheung). Before any feelings can be exchanged, he dies in a Meet Joe Black kinda way and proceeds to win a celestial contest. This flimsy plot device states he can have one wish - which he uses to live again. They deny him that, but give him the opportunity to return for one week.

Both are tragic romance movies about time travel. Both are very similar..........................................................................

Both take place in a beautiful forest................................................................................

The plot is nowhere near similar but both explores the pain of loss, of deep yearning, and finally, healing and acceptance. It also has the same atmospheric feel, like you were dreaming all along.
