They have exactly the same story. Not sure which was the original. Both are bitter sweet. I like the Chinese one for some reason
Wonderful Nightmare (2015)
Similars
Chinese remake.
More romance between husband and wife in this version.
This movie is a remake of Korean movie Wonderful Nightmare. Probably will enjoy both.
- both have a main character who goes into an alternate universe where they are married and have children
- the only difference is wonderful nightmare isn’t about law like welcom 2 life
- they both have fantasy and romance genre in it
I found both stories pretty similar so if you liked one of them then you will surely like the other.
Differences:
Body/World swapped
Switch male lead is actor
Wonderful nightmare attorney
Both about grim reapers. Life person, dead spirit still wonder around. The world in between. Story of the person before they die
Both movies has grim reaper. Life person before time come to enter another world. The spirit of the dead, the wondering spirit
In both movies, after an accident the main heroine 's life gets changed. Both try to cope with their new life and we have ridiculous moments.
Similar storyline - female lead has a car accident & is given a second chance to live again but has to first live as somebody else
Okay first of all, this movie is not about doppelganger swap places but it's about a soul who were supposed to crossover were given a second chance in life for a month.
Fl were send back to earth and needs to adapt a new life as a housewife and mom instead of being a top prosecutor. Her soul swap places with the housewife's soul who is currently in coma.
There's alot of chaos and mess happen and it's so hilarious watching fl try to adjust her new life as a wife and mom which she never experience before.
What i like about this movie is although there's a financial restraint, some conflict between husband and wife and their teenage daughter is at the rebellious stage, she try the best as she can and her husband always has her back no matter what.
Both movies have a main lead that lives someone else's life for a while and change for the better by being given a second chance/gift.
The two stories are different but whats so similar is the female lead being all about money at first but changes when she meets the main guy and his kids. Also in both stories the FL get close to the kids and the ML. Gives the same vibe.
Both productions tell the story of people who 'died by accident', are reincarnated in someone else's body and have to take care of stranger's family.
Both protagonists did some morally questionable deeds in their 'first life' and get a second chance to right their wrongs.
In both series the women have to understand what it means to care for "your" family, and they change their characters ; both contain hilarious scenes.
Hi Bye, Mama! and Wonderful Nightmare have that reincarnation trail theme and both in the end are heartwarming family genres
