Main Differences:
- Plot.
- Struggling bromance. In My Country the main driving force of the story is the broken bromance between Hwi and Sun Ho. The main driving bromance in Rebel almost never wavers.
-My Country is more tragic, The Rebel still has its fair share of tragic elements but it's way lighter.
- My Country's characters live more in the gray area. You can see they're more complicated and suffer through their decisions to take the less terrible option. In Rebel things are more straightforward (black and white). While characters are flawed and well written, you can always tell who is on the right side and who is on the wrong side.
