When the Weather Is Fine (2020)

When I was watching When the Weather Is Fine, the short movie Control Tower came to mind. Both the drama and the movie have a winter setting and a depressing yet calm vibe to them. The music theme is present in both, although it has less of an importance in When the Weather Is Fine compared to Control Tower, where music is of big importance in the story. In both the drama and the movie we see our female leads transfer to a school in a smaller village. Slow burn romance are present in both, although it's more subtle in Control Tower. The traveling back to the city towards the end is also included in both. Although the movie doesn't carry as heavy burdens as the drama does, the vibe is very similar. I feel like both shows are good to watch on a day when you're feeling a bit down.

I find the dramas to have a similar vibe. If you haven’t check out the other you should do so.

So far the similarities are:

- Snow setting
-Slow burn romance
-Calm leads
- Slow paced drama
-Winter setting

Both are pretty different dramas in terms of plot and tone, but if you like the trope of the ML appearing quite cold/indifferent towards the FL at first but inwardly liking her the entire time & struggling to show those emotions over time, you will like either drama.

Both Run On and When the Weather is Fine have a similar laid back vibe with leads that are interesting, well-written and relatable. The secondary characters in WTWIF also make you root for them and add depth to the story.

- both drama brings that comfort feeling; healing
- slow paced romance between the leads
- leads trying to fit in their lives in the small town
- both located in a small town which gives the countryside vibes
- best lovelines from both dramas
- leads from both drama deals with their own personal issues or trauma

Both these dramas have the same feel. The story telling is similar with calm peaceful almost naive leads

These are two dramas by the same director! Slow moving, moody, sometimes funny, sometimes sad but always optimistic in showing people dealing with heavy burdens of life. The actors are extraordinary!

Similar vibe but in WSIS darker, sader, still poetic, the couple love reads toghether, the same actress. Love both dramas. Very calming an slow burner. And the whether is an important theme :).

Both shows have the same beautiful cinematography and relaxed, meditative pacing and calming vibe. Both have excellent acting from the leads and beautiful OSTs. Both are perfect for cuddling up in winter with a warm blanket and watching with a cup of coffee.

A story about forgiveness, healing, and love taking place around a small bookstore in the countryside. Hae Won is an ordinary woman with good character. She has played the cello since she was a child. Hae Won began her social life with her ability to play the cello, but during that time, she was hurt emotionally by others. Due to that, Hae Won does not trust people, and she has closed her heart to others. Hae Won becomes sick and tired of her life in Seoul and decides to move back to her hometown Bookhyun Village. There, Hae Won meets Eun Seob, who runs a bookshop named "Goodnight Bookstore." Eun Seob's daily life is simple; wake up, drink coffee, read a book, and write on his blog. However, Eun Seob's daily life begins to change after he meets Hae Won.

The tempo, the love story and the dynamic is the similar. Love that comes back again in some way. They reminded me a lot of each other.

Both dramas have realistic, natural and healing vibes.
Slow paced
Feeling relaxed while watching.

it seems like a classic romance withalso the bond of mother and and child. And it is similar to neighbour relation.

Both dramas feature..
-- Slice-of-life romance with mature adults
-- A one-sided crush during high school
-- Lots of nice flashbacks showing their interactions during high school
-- A reserved ML who likes to read and is an overall kind person
-- An outgoing FL who confesses to the ML first
-- Cute couple moments and nice dialogue showing their level of maturity
-- A nicely written slow-paced story with interesting side characters and well rounded subplots
-- No unnecessary angst, melodrama, love triangles or psychotic characters

It is written by the same writer. And both the drama gives off that warm and cozy feeling. If you loved any one of these 2 dramas, give the other one a try.

Both are romances in which the ML has feelings for the FL from the start but initially hides them due to his childhood trauma/inability to open up to people. Both MLs seem quite cold and distant but once they open up to the FL they are adorable to watch
