Same screenwriter & director for both dramas, the cinematography is very similar, focusing on a lot of chemistry between the leads. So if you need something with a dreamy, nostalgic look, watch this drama!
Esther Yu plays the female lead in both and Mike Angelo goes from being her male lead to a side character in Speed and Love. Loving his role so far in Speed and Love though.
Before the age of nine, Jiang Mu lived a sheltered and pampered life as the beloved little sister, while Jin Zhao was the brilliant older brother everyone admired. But everything changed when her parents divorced. Her father left for Thailand with Jin Zhao, and it was then that Jiang Mu came to know that her brother was adopted. Refusing to let him slip away, she traveled to Thailand alone to find him. When they met again, the graceful boy she once knew had changed. The brightness had faded, replaced by a sharp-edged young man hardened by the streets. He fought in underground rings, raced through dangerous tracks, and lived in a world full of risk that was completely unfamiliar to her. Though she had longed for this reunion, facing him left her uneasy. The brother she had run toward without hesitation now felt like a stranger.
From strangers to lovers, Jiang Mu approached him with steady determination. Though Jin Zhao resisted at first, retreating from her warmth, he eventually gathered the strength to face his feelings and chose to walk toward her instead. Life had been too bitter in his inferno, and he wished to keep Jiang Mu away from that darkness. But she risked everything, walking firmly toward him, determined to bring him back to their homeland, back to family, back to home.
Together, they created their own way of meeting in the middle. From then on, he became the sun, she the moon, shining together, day and night, never to be parted again.

Speed and Love reminds me very much of The Outsiders, because both female leads' left their safe, clean environment to join the male leads' dangerous world. They're both very innocent, and naive initially, but (will) eventually matures.
Meanwhile both male leads are orphans, grew up in a low-poverty environment that may have lead to gang involvement, have to fight to earn money, and they also have some car racing involved. Granted, Speed and Love's focus is on drifting rather than gangs, but other than that it is pretty much the same type of vibe.

Good boy gone bad, reunion, steamy goodness.
Speed and Love is more wattpad coded but The Farewell Song has a lot of parallels and if you like the basic story (of two people who partially grew up together as fake siblings, later separate and then reunite with the ML having become a fighter, then you’ll probably also like this).
TFS has a mystery element (who done it) and also steamier scenes than SAP but I would recommend you check it out

Everyone at Yangming Middle School knew that Zhou Wan was introverted and silent, while Lu Xi Xiao was unruly. The two couldn't be more different. No one expected that one day, these two would stand together.
