Remembrance of Things Past

The realistic parts, the healing vibe, the mental health topic that was brought by the story. We could find them in these two dramas. That's why i was enchanted by them.

Going through the adulthood period is not easy. Every person is dealing with their own problem. Some people, because of some risk factors, need to endure more hardship. But, form those two dramas, i find hopes. The girls' friendship is a precious component there.

Note: The second one has more comedic scenes

Both are realistic slice-of-life dramas, focusing on sensitive topics. While Remembrance is about suicide and young adults working lives; The World Between Us is about a mass murderer and the effects on his family and the victims' families.

1. Reflective healing drama: existential crisis, mundane life, death, the purpose of life, etc.
2. Good production: exploration of the city, "sense of realism" (in example, a lot of scene taken on real crowded urban life)
3. Dilema between hometown & megapolitan big city
4. Main lead is Zhou yu tong
5. Growing couple (& their dilemma about long distance relationship)

Ordinary people struggle to face reality. Problem & conflict come along human life. Can we freely choose between happiness & misery?

These dramas are similar in the "young people struggling to survive in the big city" part. It has a very similar feel to both. But the novel has only the similarity that in both the male leader is the "boss"
