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

Both 2023 drama with an ending that just doesn't sit well with me. Both are adapted from isekai novels but due to the censorship had to go around resulting in many changes in the content.

Both these dramas tinker with the concept of time and how that affects the actions of a person, including the biggest question of whether destiny can be changed, though the elements of time travel are more explicit in AALS than SoT. More importantly, they also both have really strong, decisive, and badass FLs who have "soft" and "star-crossed MLs to support them.

It have a bit similar story. Like time travel, something like that at least at the ending the women main role awake and thought it was dreaming

Scent of Time and Perfect Marriage Revenge both involve a situation where both FLs start disliking the man they've been in love with for a long time due to a life-and-death situation. Also, they both start having feelings for a different man at the end.

Similarities:
- Do-over stories that initially stems from regrets.
- Angst and poignancy galore.
- ML's love is unrequited initially.
- 2ML is FL's first romantic choice, whom she decided to leave in the do-ever life after spending a significant amount of effort chasing after but failing miserably to avoid the repeat of tragedy in her previous life.
- No kiss.

Differences:
- FL in SoT reicarnated, while in SFOT the FL time-travel.
- Modern vs. historical settings.
- Endings.

In both drama the FL died and find themselves in the past , both of them showed character growth. they learn from their mistakes and tries their best to survive
