I'm Sorry, I Love You (2004)

Gomen, Aishiteru is the Japanese version of I'm Sorry, I Love You. In my opinion the Japanese version is better. And Nagase Tomoya is great!

they are both very sad and emotional and when i watched both these dramas i cried like a baby but they are full of love and sadness.

I'm Sorry, I Love You (Korean: ????, ????; RR: Mianhada, Saranghanda) is a 2004 South Korean television drama series starring So Ji-sub and Im Soo-jung. It aired on KBS2 from November 8 to December 28, 2004, on Mondays and Tuesdays for 16 episodes.[1]

the third movie for the same writer of love to kill and will it snow for Christmas.. it contains the same great entwined stories that reflects the emotions of love hate , revenge, and,passion. it's really masterpiece with the soundtrack too

Both of the shows main characters learn and have to deal with their impending death. It's an interesting comparison to see the two different approach each character takes before dying.

-Both REVENGE ROMANCE MELODRAMAS, where male lead takes revenge on family (direct family & family-in-law respectively)

- Both have a leading male actor whose acting is AMAZING! (Green Rose: Go Soo. ISILY: So Ji Sub)

-I'm Sorry I Love You is better (10/10!) , so it's better to watch Green Rose first, other way around may feel like a step-down, especially GR male lead's trauma might seem very light in comparison to the trauma of ISILY male lead's.

-ISILY has a more sympathetic/tragic male lead than GR
-ISILY is more romance-focused & the love story MUCH better
-GR is slow-paced, while ISILY has a much better pace/doesn't drag or bore you

It's the Chinese movie remake from 2014. Follows the same plot, he's seeking revenge on the mother who abandoned him. Falls in love but he's only got so long to live. It is a movie so there will be a lot missing and may be rushed.

Both dramas are tearjerkers! but very good with strong leading actors and actresses who portray people who are trying to deal with the past.

the leads in both film confess their feelings, make up for their mistakes and try to use the remaining time well after they know that one of them has a terminal illness.

Mizuho is a promising rhythmic gymnast, but she is diagnosed with a spinal cord disease and becomes paralyzed from the waist down. She is devastated. With the help of music, Mizuho works toward a new dream.

This story is also very sad and the ending is somehow similar. The lovestory, like in sorry i love you, is pure and true.

Both have an orphan ML with abandonment issues and terminall illness with a love story.

The scars of the ML of Mr Plankton has brought back memories of the poor traumatized ML of the Classic old kdrama I'm Sorry I Love You, both are messes.

In both the main theme is love and death and deep questions about life. They are deeply sad and touching dramas. Both are written by Lee Kyung Hee.

they are both writer lee writings...this is also a revenge genre - even though this time the lead seeks revenge from his mother - both are emotionally outstanding - and both have pure love stories

Sorry is an intense revenge melodrama with a touching love story. So Ji Sub is a handsome romantic, as is Ji Sung in Secret.
