Reply 1997 (2012)

Both of these dramas are great;they're both about relationships and slice of life , and make you guess who is fated with one another. Reply 1997 takes you back in the past and is similar to the 29 year old Jin Goo x Ma Se Young's story

Both dramas are happening in the same timeline. Beginning of both stories is the year 1997.
Main characters of both of the stories are a group of friends from the high school. Another similarity is that in both of the shows main focus is on the female main character's journey to pursue her passion. In Reply 1997 that's music and in Twenty Five Twenty One is fencing. Connection between main characters and following their life journey over the years is another of the resemblance in both shows.

the same nostalgic vibe of youth. what with all the 'old camera' quality aesthetic and camcorder recordings with the explosion of kpop and a strong group of friends...both are a must watch

Both are feel-good, slice-of-life high school dramas that make you feel nostalgic with characters you love and want to root for and best friends who clearly like each other but won't admit it.

Both series are about students in high school trying to live their lives, discover who they are, and reach junior year in peace. Though Reply 1997 heavily revolves around romance, it still has the message that you are nothing without your friends.

Both these dramas center on spunky and sharp-tongued young girls. We also see their family dynamics and friendships.

One gets a feeling of melancholia while watching these girls going through first love and navigating through their youth during a time that's long gone.

It's the predecessor to Reply 1994 - it aired first and is, obviously, set in the future but some of the characters from 1994 interconnect with 1997's at a point. It also has the same general feel as 1994.

If you want to feel the same 90’s nostalgia from “Analog Squad”, then you should definitely watch Reply 1997.

hoya in this movie!!...........................................................................................................................................this movie is the best and its hard tp be found

Both of them are cute with a great scene of humor. The main leads know each other since childhood . The both female leads are strong , a little bit crazy and like to hit the male lead and tease him . At the same time they are comfortable with each other and have really strong friendship that turn to relationship .

They both show the past and present stories of the characters. They both have that romantic, school and youth genre feels that I've been looking for in a series. Both have outstanding casts! Reply 1997 has been my fave ever since I first watched it and I tried watching Le Coup de Foudre just because I got curious of the series and I didn't regret it. Try and watch both! I really recommend them!

Female leads in both the dramas are die hard fans of their cherished idols and would do anything for them.In Reply 1997, the lead is a high school girl while in Her private Life, she is a curator in her30s.

Decreed by fate also has the who's the husband mystery like in the Reply series. Both the ML and SML are compatible with the FL.
