Tough guy in need of money finds himself taking care of a kid while trying to better his situation. You're So Precious to Me is very much a superior film though. Like, night and day as far as quality goes.

I found the tough but wounded male leads to be similar characters. The dramas have similar tragic vibes, more on the drama side... a bit heavy in tone. Both have sweet, understated romance. Both take their time with the pacing but never feel boring.
