Same theme - korean independence army fighting against Japan, strong female lead, characters you have to love, packed with action and beautifully shot scenes.

Both have same leads, as I was watching I felt same type if thrill in both. Actions are wow!!!!!!!
and both are about spy.I had great time watching.

Both are historical action film set in the Japanese occupation era in Korea. Both are film about how the Koreans fight the Japanese

Both 'Different Dreams' and 'Assassination' are set in the same time period of Japanese occupation in Korea, and both feature historically real-life independence activists Kim Wonbong of the Heroic Corps, and Kim Gu of the Korean Provisional Government.

While 'Different Dreams' focusses more heavily on Kim Wonbong's own activities, his character in 'Assassination' is more of a planner and organizer.

'Different Dreams' is primarily set between 1931-1933, whereas 'Assassination' is primarily set after 1933. Both show the struggle and the divide amongst the Korean people, between those who are independence activists and those who are pro-Japanese.

Both dramas show the story of resistance fighters in Korea in the 20th century and do a pretty good job at that.
