Spans late 1990s into early 2000s; shows growth, dreams, how historical & economic events affect personal lives. Nostalgic, hopeful, character?driven.
Nostalgia at the Heart
Both A Hundred Memories and 20th Century Girl are rooted in nostalgia. A Hundred Memories takes us to the 1980s, while 20th Century Girl is set in 1999, right at the turn of the millennium. Despite the different decades, both dramas recreate the feel of their eras with vivid detail — from school uniforms and old music to analog friendships and innocent first love. The setting isn’t just background; it shapes the characters’ lives and brings a strong wave of longing for a simpler time.
Youth, Friendship, and First Love
At their core, both stories explore youth through the lens of heartfelt friendship and quiet romance. In A Hundred Memories, the relationship between Go Young-rye and Seo Jong-hee is central — two girls chasing dreams, working hard, and finding their place in the world. Similarly, 20th Century Girl tells the story of Na Bo-ra and her selfless friendship, even as she navigates young love and heartbreak. Both works show how friendships during youth can be beautiful, messy, and unforgettable.
Emotional Honesty and Bittersweet Vibes
Neither drama is overly dramatic or flashy — instead, they rely on sincere storytelling. The emotions are raw but grounded: the ache of longing, the joy of small moments, the sting of missed chances. 20th Century Girl hits you with an emotional twist that reframes everything, and A Hundred Memories hints at deeper stories and pain beneath the surface, making you want to keep watching. Both remind us that youth is fleeting, but its memories stay with us forever.
Ordinary Girls, Quiet Strength
Young-rye and Bo-ra aren’t perfect heroines. They’re regular girls—sometimes bold, sometimes unsure, but always real. They carry family burdens, navigate emotional dilemmas, and face hard choices, all while holding onto their dreams. Their quiet strength is what makes them unforgettable.

Rollercoaster poses the delicate question of whether you should open your heart for a new love or wait for your first love despite the pain it causes.
It follows Pure whose first love Air was forced to marry a man despite her wishes due to family pressure and financial strain over her family due to ger father's untimely death. This leaves Pure with a broken heart but she still holds the flame for Air even after three years and waits for her to come back to her.
Around the time when Air is finally about to break free from her unhappy marriage, Pure meets a young, carefree woman named Loft who gives her a taste of what love could be like, without all the pain and suffering by showing up everytime it counts. This leaves Pure in a dilemma as she's neither able to let go of her past love or truly open her heart to Loft, who by a twist of fate turns out to be her ex's sister in law.
The story despite sounding dramatic, manages to portray the dilemmas and heartbreaks in a very nuanced manner. It includes fantastic actors with a very talented crew who are mostly women and it shows on the screen.
Give it a try and you wont regret it!!

• Both shows revolve around missions, strategy, and twists that make every episode feel unpredictable.
• Bro & Marble uses Dubai as its unique playground while New World creates a virtual fantasy-like world, but in both, the setting plays a huge role in shaping the games.
• A big part of the appeal comes from how well the members bounce off each other, making even downtime moments funny.
So if you liked one show, you will most likely also like the other. And ofc there’s the recurring cast member Lee Seung gi making both shows amazing witg the other cast members.
