They are similar in these ways:
- The leads relationship spans over years where they are together on and off
- They get together early on and their relationship remains a secret for the most part, with only the leads' best friends knowing
- No matter how many times they break up, they are not able to let each other go fully
- there is a clear physical yearning (dramas from 2012 didn't have these many kisses)
- Nobody tries to interfere in their relationship or pull them apart, the angst is very much present throughout due to their own interpersonal difficulties
- Both love each other but there is a moral perspective behind the ML's actions (was he good or bad) - there is a clear toxicity and ambiguity to their relationship
- Unequal power dynamic with ML being significantly richer than FL + being FL's boss
- FL goes from being a bright, cheerful young college student to a depressed, tired adult by the end of the drama
- ML uses his pet as an excuse to see her
They are different in these ways:
- ML has multiple illnesses that hamper his daily life
- ML is a lot nicer and leads communicate but because of his illness, he constantly pushes her away
- You can feel the love both of them have for each other
- FL doesn't have as much self-respect as in Early Spring; she keeps throwing herself at the ML and making herself available to him
- It is not as well shot, score sucks and acting isn't great as Early Spring
- the reasons for the angst are different
- it's not a happy ending

Gui Xiao and Lu Yan Chen met at school – in a middle school playground. They fell in love with one another at first sight. And as they grew older, their feelings for one another grew ever stronger.

Gui Xiao, meanwhile, ends up on a career path that will take her into the world of finance. Despite the fact that they now live in different worlds, their love is still strong – and they try to keep up a long-distance relationship. This peters out – until one day, years later, Gui Xiao finds herself with a special reason to call Lu Yan Chen once more.
The feeling of angst basically defines this according to my opinion.
Angst- Often arises from a deep sense of unease or anxiety about life's uncertainties. It can manifest as a profound inner turmoil, where one grapples with existential questions, searching for meaning in a world filled with chaos. This emotional state can be characterized by a lingering sense of dread, a gnawing doubt about one’s purpose, or the weight of unfulfilled desires.
