Record of Youth (2020)

Young adults searching for a way to strive in life that is modern society. These two dramas will look into the life of the characters as they try to reach their dreams.

These two drama has this mature and super heartwarming feel to it. I like the consistency of how the characters are and how they are level headed with their emotions especially the relationships between both leads. Plus I love both male leads!

Both deal with fangirling. In Record of Youth the female lead starts a relationship with the object of her fangirling wherein Her Private Life, the female lead becomes closely intertwined.

Both have the main plot revolving around the male leads, both shows their start up of their journey to reach their goal.

This show has similar theme i.e. achieving the goal, has same characters ie. Make-up artists, actor, idol etc and how to overcome their hurdles.

The struggles youth goes through, but Go Ahead deals with a more complex family structure, Record of Youth is a bit more light-hearted.

Both dramas provide a blend of comedy and drama while offering insights into various facets of the entertainment industry, much like "Aema."

Both of these dramas are about celebrity life and the people around them. They show the people working in the industry and create a plotline given that premise. Both also feature a lot of cameos of famous personalities.

they both have people with a dream struggling to reach their goals and dreams
i think they have a similar vibe even though they have different plots all together.

Both of the main girls are into makeup and pursue it as a career choice. The two male leads in both of the dramas are friends and end up liking the same girl.

both the dramas have no villans or any negative character. both the dramas teach us important life lessons about how life can take drastic turns. very realistic as this can be often seen in lives of us common people too

While "Record of Youth" is a lot more toned down and thoughtful , they both touch upon similar themes and they are both about the entertainment business:
- Love Story/Triangle between Star and Employee
- look behind the scenes (be it acting, singing etc.)
- people in their twenties trying to achieve their dream
- interesting family dynamics
- likeable Manager without a big Agency
- Dad that is at first unsupportive of Dream

Very different Worlds, but they are both about talented young People finding their (professional) Way.
Both have a sweet and healthy Love-Story.
And stories really explore what their career-choices mean to them and how to live a good Life for yourself.

The overall set up is somewhat similar; both have a romance that arises while the female lead works for the male lead. The cinematography and the writing is also somewhat reminiscent of each other, especially the lines the female lead has.
