Soulmate & You & Me & Me are similar as both are nostalgic movies, the female lead characters (you & me) are twin sister but best friends and liked the same boy (Mark) from high school. Just as Soulmate with the 2 female leads are best friends and like the same boy from school.
Both male leads kissed the other girl first. All 3 actors rode on bikes and hang out together.
Both Movies had a similar bath scene with the 2 best friends in Soulmate and 2 sisters in You & Me & Me. The baths looked identical with blue tiles. I watched soulmate first, but it felt like I was watching the same movie again at that bath scene in You & Me & Me. The similarities are insane as if the cast and crew flew to the Country the bath Tub was at.

30 year-old working woman Li An Sheng's life in Shanghai is suddenly disrupted by the publication of a novel, entitled "Qi Yue and An Sheng", a chronicle of her friendship with Qi Yue during her youth. Coupled with an accidental encounter with Su Jia Ming, her long repressed memories are unleashed with the force of a tsunami. The two girls seemed destined to become friends from the moment they entered high school. Though they were inseparable and believed that their bond would last for the rest of their lives, the cruelty of youth eventually led them to separate paths. Even more shocking is the discovery of a long buried secret shared by the women - a secret that serves as an emblem of their youth and the proof of their friendship.
HEAR ME OUT ON THIS ONE...
If you were into the quiet, aching tension that gnawed in their hearts between Jia-han and Birdy, you might like Soulmate. It follows two girls who've known each other since childhood, they grow up really close together, but then start drifting apart as they get older as life pulls them in opposite directions. The movie isn't mainly classified as an queer movie, but its essence captures a deeply intimate, tragic bond between two souls who refuse to acknowledge the deeper layers of their connection—but then lose each other on the way.
Soulmate would be YNEH if it was Yuri, Korean, and if the director was homophobic—not in a "kill the gays" type of way, but more like the director had internalized homophobia and had to project that hatred onto a minority (NO HATE). For me, the ending of Soulmate was tragically beautiful. You won't get the same type of closure as in YNEH, but it's enough to move on from the movie.
