Han Qi Luo, an extremely shy art student went to the same college as Chen Ling, a popular play boy. By chance one day they met at a park when Chen Ling asked Qi Luo for direction to a hospital to visit his friend who was injured in a bike racing incident. Hurriedly Qi Luo drew him a map, unknowing that she was drawing on the back of one of her sketches. She ran off before he could thank her. He then noticed the sketch of a mother holding a baby and was touched. In school Qi Luo was sexually harassed by a teacher and Chen Ling came to her rescue. They began to grow fond of each other but each of them had a secret past that needed to be addressed and overcome before they could accept and love one another freely.

Both dramas handles serious issues such as rape and suicide. Both gave me the same kind of feeling but MARS is somehow deeper and has romance in it. LIFE on the other hand is a drama about bullying in school.

The main women in this drama both overcome past traumas and abuse by those most trusted in their lives. They learn to trust and find happiness, healing and love through the help of those closest to them. In both stories, the main couples learn what it is to heal each others past hurts and betrayals.

Both include leads who are facing hardships and psychological issues.
It happens in college frame with rich and popular male leads.
Male leads have family problems, they pretend to be okay but are traumatized from a long time.
Male leads have a main problems with their brothers who are jealous of them and family focusing for brothers more than the male leads.
Female leads were bullied in college but is more intense in mars.
Mars is more deeply sad than at a distance, spring is green which is simple to watch.

So its pretty much the same story-line BUT the Taiwanese version is just much more deeper and imho better. This is the summary/ continuation of the Japanese drama. Its not bad for something to watch if you need to kill time.

I feel that the male leads are similar to one another and have similar aspects. Also the whole feel/vibe/atmosphere of the drama is similar in my opinion.

Frank came from a wealthy but broken family and always feels depressed. However, he later becomes inspired by Celia's upbeat personality and the two of them fall in love. Celia and Frank encounter obstacles to their love due to their backgrounds.

Both dramas deal with the psychological aspect of human nature as well as romance and life in general. MARS is a bit more deep and dark than It's okay, It's love but both are very good dramas. MARS is one of my absolute favorites, it's based on, and follows quite faithfully, the original manga by Fuyumi Soryo. I absolutely recommend you check it out! Like the phrase goes, it's an oldie but a goodie. ^_^

It is the 108th year of Volcano High School. On the schoolyard, students and teachers hang in the air, competing against each other, using martial arts. Every student there is a martial arts expert, so it is not surprising to see tea leaves moving in the shape of dragons or hallway windows shattering into bits with no one touching them.

At Volcano High, the legend of the Secret Manuscript - the one who inherits these writings will rule the world - has been continuously passed down. The Secret Manuscript is more famous because it helped the principal Jang Oh Ja calm 17 years of internecine feuding due to the privatization of schools. From the outside, Volcano High School seems peaceful. However, a bitter showdown for the Secret Manuscript is at hand. Among the challengers is the assistant principal who thirsts for the principal's position; Song Hak Rim, and Jang Ryang, captain of the weightlifting team who dreams of becoming the best at Volcano High.

On a windy, rainy day with thunder and lightning, Kim Kyung Soo transfers to Volcano High, his ninth school for he has been expelled from eight other schools because he cannot manage the power he is gifted with. Having become a problematic student despite his intentions, Kyung Soo is determined to graduate from Volcano High no matter what happens. Volcano High regards Kyung Soo as the eye of a hurricane. Will Kyung Soo manage to graduate in the middle of the violent storm caused by the battle for the Secret Manuscript?
