My Perfect Stranger (2023)

Both:
- good murder mystery going on
- main characters working together to solve a serial murder
- Lee Kyu Hoe, this actor is really good, he's good in Link: Eat, Love, Kill too

Both dramas involve
- time travel
- murder mystery
- a book written by the witness to a murder
- the leads trying to find the truth behind it
- cops/detectives who are also investigating

Similar story….. instead son travels back in time————————————————————————————-………………………………………….. all

Both shows feature timeslips events and both leads are looking forward to connecting with people in past years in order to change their fate.

Basically the two dramas involves the same tunnel that takes people to another time line
the two dramas have a criminal case needed to be investigated through time

The two dramas have the retro theme of Korea in the eighties
the two dramas talks about youth and love relationships

In Longing for You, a murder case occurs in Woojin, a town that doesn't have crime. Oh Jin Sang, joins the investigation team when his younger brother is identified as a suspect in a murder case, he later is cleared of false accusations, and the true culprit is revealed. The brother is suddenly attacked by someone on a rainy night and dies unexpectedly. In 'My Perfect Stranger', Yoon Hae-jun and Baek Yoon Young travel back in time to 1987, to investigate serial murder cases that happened in Woojung-ri , another town that doesnt have criminal activities. Hae-jun attempts to prevent his death in the future, and he and Yoon-young try to save people who are close to them.

*Only differences are that in 'Longing for You', there is no time travel, and that they aren't trying to investigate serial killings.

- FLs befriend with their mother
- FLs meet their parent from the past
- Lee Won Jung cast in these dramas

both are time travel dramas
the only common thing about the two dramas is time travel
nothing more

Summer Strike is the same story but without time travel. The character's are same: restrained, taciturn, unhappy. There is a village and an old murder mystery. The main couple romance behind scene: no lovey dovey stuff before the very end of the last episode. Very very slow slow-burn dramas.

I recommend this both drama because , Male lead and Female lead
try to solve problem
In one drama explosion and another student murder/suicide

While this one seems more lighthearted in a way, Come and Hug me has the same FL lead and its crime heavy. While there is not time travel involved, I think the style and telling of these dramas are similar. Come and Hug Me is a more angsty slow burn however, I think they are pretty similar so if you haven't you could always give this one a try!

~ This story is also about time travelling
~ The protagonist fall in love with eachother
~ They change their future
~ Interesting storyline
I personally think these shows are quite similar as they include same genre

both are filled with suspense, twists, and different time portrayals. Both the male leads look for the criminal of serial killings of the past.
