Both Taiwanese dramas focus on female leads thinking through life decisions, facing failure, dealing with societal expectations, and interacting with family.
Both Taiwanese dramas feature women in their late 20's/30's thinking through their life decisions, especially as it comes to career and family.
Both series follow protagonists as they move from Taipei to their hometowns to be with a sick family member. But from there, they face different challenges while learning about who they are, what they left behind, what their hometowns offer them, and what family means.
Both follow protagonists living in Taipei returning to their family homes in Taiwan countryside neighborhoods. Cover similar themes on family and success.
Both depict conflict in family and Taiwanese rural life. In A Boy Named Flora A, it's about returning home from Taipei to family and dealing with family conflict. Both also have whimsical moments in their storyline, making room for comedy. Also, both have great music.
Ho Goo's Love similarly follows Uee as a young, single mother, except in that drama she was a national swimmer before becoming pregnant and running away on her own. It is definitely a lighter drama with more comedy, but still delves into deeper issues in society that reminded me of the way Marriage Contract went into the issue of single motherhood and illness. Basically, watch Uee's amazing crying and acting in this drama too!
Both series focus on the female protagonist (Rainie Yang in Life Plan) and how they make decisions on love when life presents difficult situations. Life Plan A and B is also a short series (6 2 hour episodes), and also slightly melancholic. Both series raise questions about what is love and what it's worth.
