At a Distance, Spring Is Green

Both of these dramas show different aspects of youth that are often overlooked by those around them. Park Jihoon stars in them, and he does an amazing job with both characters. The relationships in both are also very intriguing and easy to grow attached to. Weak Hero is a bit darker in my opinion, but I still absolutely loved both shows.

Both dramas are set in school and involve characters that are isolated or disconnected from society, or are bullied, as well as an unusual romance or friendship that grows between them.

Both these dramas take place in a college setting.

We get to see characters with their personnal struggles but also their daily college life and how they form friendships with the other characters of the drama.

In these dramas, we get to see people struggling financially, socially or emotionally.

The main difference is that Age of Youth is centered on a female cast who are roommates while ADSG's is centered on both men and women who are in the same department and meet in college.

Both ensemble dramas about young people in their 20s as they deal with growing up, moving on and overcoming life's struggles.

The male leads got painful pasts just like the characters in "at a distance spring is green". Every characters will reveal their painful story one by one in the episodes later.
