both drama are very realistic over how flawed relationships are, how flawed and disappointingly frustrating people are and how love no matter how powerful it is one day may just become a memory. you may not agree or be satisfied with how things are handled especially towards the endings but once again you have to admire the raw realism of the storylines. whether each drama is a waste of time or not depends on how you view the world and what kind of romance stories you like.

both drama showcase chasing your dreams vs reality and a love that no matter whether the outcome was good or not you can't help but wonder if it was worth it. a romance that stays with the people involved for years and years after. whether they end up together or not(no spoilers) all that love was true.

Both star Wang Yu Wen and feature jumps in time.
More mature both in the stories and the productions (feel higher budget/looked after).
