Forever and Ever (2021)

The female lead of Forever and Ever is a voice actress and the pace of both dramas are very similar. They’re both slow burns and lots of chemistry between the leads.

Both modern C-dramas feature a mature, mutually supportive and heartwarming relationship between the leads. They face potential misunderstandings and relationship challenges by trusting one another, rather than with tropey fights and breakups. The genres are somewhat different (Love o2o has more light silliness interspersed with the romance while Forever is more sedate and focused) but both will have you smiling throughout.

This story is about Shi Yi, a gentle pleasant and low-key but industry's top voice actress, who ran into the elegant returnee chemistry professor Zhou Sheng Chen at the airport one day. They gradually develop a mutual understanding in getting along with each other, and join hands to preserve traditional craftsmanship and overcome many storms as they decide to accompany each other for the rest of their lives...

Both these contemporary dramas are sequels of period dramas.
The common point is that the main leads features in the dramas are reincarnations of the prequels.

The difference is that Forever and Ever is a full fleshed drama while Good Bye My Princess: Special is made up of snippets.

These dramas have the main characters being reincarnated from the past, meet in the next life. Their undying love and morale is beautifully written and directed. Finally, they'll probably remember their past lives.

I just like couple centred shows. This one is slow and couple centred. Although FE has outside angst but ML/FL never wavered.

Both are modern c-dramas which Bai Lu acts as female leads. Her characters are strong and elegant ladies. Both dramas have amazing on-screen chemistry between leads and excellent acting performances.

How ML & FL don’t let outer conflicts get in the way of their relationship + trust in each other.

SIMILARITIES
- Both FLs are talented and smart although they're not rich.
- Both ML s are born into chaebol or old money-rich families.
- MLs' families have traditions and beliefs others may find absurd/ hilarious in a way that'll hook you more.

DIFFERENCES
- FAE is a C-Drama, while HITTG is a K-Drama.
- FAE main couple has a healthier relationship than HITTG's young main couple.
- HITTG focused on parenthood, studies, and personal development, while FAE was more on flash romance where the ML warms up as the drama continues.
- HITTG has darker elements because it's satire, whereas FAE has a lighter and feel-good plot.

In both drama, both Female Lead remember their past life. But in Forever & Ever, the reincarnation part is very subtle due to censorship.

Both has Allen Ren as main lead. The Destiny of White Snake also has reincarnation/another life theme and great OST.

Both are C-Dramas that have ML as professors who need to get married ASAP. They both slowly fall in love with the FL. Both ML are nice guys that don’t know much about love and relationships.
