Reply 1988 (2015)

"Youth Over Flowers: Africa" actually star the male leads of "Reply 1988." To get a better sense of how the four men showcase their acting skills, watching "Reply 1988" is a great starter! From then, you get a chance to see their personalities in real life through this reality show.

Both of them are a slice-of-life kind of dramas. Age of youth focuses on 5 girls and college life, whereas Reply 1988 focuses on the children growing up (and experiencing their first love) as well as the family members. Both are slow paced, and detail orientated. It is definitely the smallest things that touch you the most. The music is also subtle and fitting. Characters in both shows have a lot of depth and show a lot of character growth.
Many life lessons to learn in both.
Overall the pace, genre, direction/cinematography (revealing details a bit at a time), music and feel of the two shows are similar.

When you step onto the island in Top Star, it's really like a blast from the past. That combined with the humor and the loving and close community relationships (and also love triangle -- meh) are similar to Reply 1988.

The story follows childhood friends who grew up in the same neighbourhood, supporting each other through life's ups and downs and learning the value of family, friendship and love.

I am recommending it simply bc of the GO aspect. One of the main characters is a renowned GO player. This drama has almost no similarities to Go into Your Heart, but it's a good drama nonetheless. I recommend it with all my heart. >_<

So for the reason i did these two is because
1) neighbors
2) in the same street
3) forgot how many family living there
4) starts in the 1980s
5) it has well known actors

Both deals with parents raising kids and watching them grow and become independent. Both of their time-settings are in the past.

Same feeling. Both are about the friendship and first love in the 80's. Frozen a heart-warming movie. Both are connecting two time -present and past.

The subjects might not be the same but the two dramas have a really chill and warm vibe that makes me feel better everytime I start an episode. For those who are not especially fanof the medical stuff in Hospital playlist, Reply 1988 is made for you

Zhang Jing Yi is the FL in both. The chemistry is natural. The relationship had depth. However, BEITD does not have a satisfactory ending.

They have the similar family, friendship, era and every day life vibe. You get that feel good emotions while watching.

This probably won't make sense for some since these dramas really aren't too similar. The only thing they have in common is that they are kind of slice of life and both include romance.

The reason i think you'll like them both is because they give off the same happy feeling for the viewer. I don't know how to explain it better than that really, but give the other one a try if you like one!!

If you're looking for friendship and school life, I recommend this. They both have a similar vibe when it comes to chemistry between the casts. This drama is really sweet, and the chemistry between the leads is really cute.

The two dramas have the retro theme of Korea in the eighties
the two dramas talks about youth and love relationships

Both happen in the late 80's and want to show how was life in that time
