Although these dramas are listed as "prequel" and "sequel", the correct term would be "same collection". Both dramas stem from a collection of scripts that depict the story of a group of women and their way to finding "home". In Remembrance of things past they live in Beijing, in There Will be ample time, they are in Chengdu.

Both dramas have a similar vibe and some actors are the same but it's totally different story.
There is life, love, mother-daughter relationships, sismance (four women), death and different careers.

It is a story of young men and women born in the 80s and 90s who meet in Beijing. Through their struggles in the metropolis, they hold on to their dreams and experience various tests in life, career, and love.

Both stories revolve around female friendships and relationships. Age of Youth is more comedic and ROTP has a more mature tone but I think if you enjoyed AOY you'll enjoy ROTP
Recommended by Tory
Both shows revolve around a group of close friends who are in the workforce for a number of years. While BTIMFL has more romance, both dramas show workplace struggles and explores concerns about settling down.

There's also a quote from BTIMFL that always comes to my mind while watching ROTP: "Seoul is too cold."

Remembrance of the past dwells on the past and how it affects their present.
My liberation notes dwells on the present and questions the possibility of a way out.
Both seek closure in their own way.

The storylines are very different, but both are female-centered with a serious tone. Both dramas explore the lives of each woman and the conflicts they face as well as their friendship.

Remembrance of Things Past is also about close friendship between the 3 female leads and their struggles with love, work, and daily life. If you enjoy good acting, good story telling, good pacing then you will also love Remembrance of Things Past.

I recommend this both drama because , Male lead and Female lead
try to solve problem
In one drama explosion and another student murder/suicide
Recommended by inurroom
The realistic parts, the healing vibe, the mental health topic that was brought by the story. We could find them in these two dramas. That's why i was enchanted by them.

Going through the adulthood period is not easy. Every person is dealing with their own problem. Some people, because of some risk factors, need to endure more hardship. But, form those two dramas, i find hopes. The girls' friendship is a precious component there.

Note: The second one has more comedic scenes

Both are realistic slice-of-life dramas, focusing on sensitive topics. While Remembrance is about suicide and young adults working lives; The World Between Us is about a mass murderer and the effects on his family and the victims' families.

1. Reflective healing drama: existential crisis, mundane life, death, the purpose of life, etc.
2. Good production: exploration of the city, "sense of realism" (in example, a lot of scene taken on real crowded urban life)
3. Dilema between hometown & megapolitan big city
4. Main lead is Zhou yu tong
5. Growing couple (& their dilemma about long distance relationship)
