Every episode in these two series are like watching movies. Filmed beautifully, complex characters, strong competent leads. There is fighting, romance, drama. High quality dramas.

Both have beautiful love stories. They are tragic, and keep you on your toes. The main male leads are so protective and loving while the female leads have strength and bring out a different side of the male lead. Both beautiful stories that will stay with you long after you finished watching.

Action, Romance, Mystery. These two dramas have it all. There are fighting sequences, suspense, and not to mention it is interesting to see how old kdramas were filmed. Damo is from 2003 and still holds up, that is if you can see past the exaggerating Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon combat. Same goes for Chuno, from 2010; although these dramas are fairly old, I still found them enjoyable to watch in 2019.

Both shows are about falling in love, with an older man as the protagonist and a female lead who makes him a better person. Both are mature love stories that deal with terminal illness.

I watched My Father is Strange right after Heard it Through the Grapevine and it definitely filled the void. I gave it a chance since I really liked Lee Joon in HITTG and he does not disappoint in FIS. Both shows are surrounded by family, although FIS is upbeat comedy while HITTG is dark comedy, Both are good dramas and I suggest you try them.

Both show the relationships between parent and child

Both will make you cry your eyes out

Both have an absolutely superb child actress

Both female leads are the definition of a strong, female lead. They are both determined, dedicated, and do not fit the mold of the cookie-cutter feminine chick, but stand strong behind their principles and do not take crap from the people who want to bully them. The male leads are what every male lead should be as they care about the girl, despite her flaws, and support her while being kind and sweet.

Also, both dramas have fitness as a theme so that is another similarity!

Both shows have themes concerning death. There is also humor, romance, and most importantly, bromance.
