The story talks about the same era and kinda the vibe is the same. But totally different genre. 2521 is more friendship and rom com, but Youth of may is more relationship and drama also with a sad ending! We still dont know if 2521 will give us a sad ending or a happy one?!

Firstly, the leading male role is played my Nam Joo-hyuk.
And both the series make us wonder about our dreams.

Time setting was also before '00.
The drama was about girls friendship, family struggle, and romance.
The FL was Bona (Go Yurim's actress) and she was really awesome in this one too!

Both dramas are simillar in terms of genres, with intensive training, the will to continue pursuing dreams despite many obstacles, along with powerful acting and slow burning chemistry that develops over the course of the entire plotline.

Great and memorable, yet remarkably different soundtracks with a mix of international, but universal tones.

The one thing that will be different is the portrayal of the entire cast, due to opposite cultures. Nevertheless unforgettable moments and quotes will be present for sure!

im sol is as energetic and lively as na heedo, they both give off a cute pure hearted vibe
The mls also have a similar softness and personality, though bark yejin was more mature as he was older

But the times of nostalgia and youthful energy are the same too, eventho one is a time traveling drama and the other is a reminiscing about the past
